I had a chance to go to Ross and here are some new purchases!
I love these mini boots! They can be worn with anything in any way! Such a necessity...
$14.99
Combat Boots! These can also be worn dressy or casual. I'm totally LOVING these!
$21.99
I also bought a very cute black denim button-up dress with a tie around the waist. It goes great with either pair of shoes, tights, leggings, scarves, etc...I love fall fashion :)

Yesterday I had the stomach flu...yuck! Its going around, be sure to sanitize!

Today I did a little fall cleaning! I got rid of some old shoes and jewelry. I cleaned JD's room (you couldn't even see the floor), it was sick!

Tomorrow is craft day! I will post pics of what I'm making....they are so cute and super affordable, as always!

I'm so happy for my family and friends who have recently had their babies! Everything has gone great with each family and I'm so excited to see them all.
Congrats to:
Mickenzie and Mike Gates....baby Drayton James
Brynna and DR Horrocks.... baby Lucy
Diana and Jake Rothfels....baby Maxamillion
Shaela and Rawley Burmingham...baby Hudson Roo
