Hello Monday

This post contains affiliate links.

Hello Monday!

116586-Hello-Monday

I have grown to actually love Mondays now that I don’t have to work every one. Monday’s are now my off days and I try to be super productive. Most Mondays are for grocery shopping, meal prepping, and getting homework done. This Monday will be for  catching up on the shows I DVRed this past week!! I love fall TV.

I don’t know about you but I am completely obsessed with fall. I put my pumpkin candles and Apple Crumble Wallflowers out at the end of August and I am so glad the weather is finally starting to cool off and finally feel like fall too. I found the cutest burlap pumpkins last week at Target in the dollar spot and had to get them, which reminds me I need to get all of my other pumpkins and fall decor out of the attic. HA! I really need to get my seasonal decor more organized.

I got the Sea Salt & Maple Popcorn candles at Bath and Body Works last fall, the pumpkins and the two signs in the dollar spot at Target, the two signs in the bottom pic and the Happy Everything Platter at Hallmark. I seriously love my Happy Everything Platter, you change out the attachment for every season and they are just so fun!!

TJMapleLeaf

I am also obsessed with Trader Joe’s. This is no secret but I found these cookies in my pantry last week and almost died! I completely forgot about them and they area seriously yummy. I got them when I was in Boston last month and got my TJ’s fix. There is supposed to be a Trader Joe’s coming to Memphis TN next fall which will only be two hours away from me. I see a few Memphis road trips on my future. Arkansas seriously needs a Trader Joe’s.

SophieGizmo

My little brother’s dog Gizmo is staying with Sophie and I for a little while and he is the sweetest dog. When he got to my house I showed him his pillow and blanket and he went right to it. He knows where “his stuff” is and he’s just a really good dog. he is super quiet, like Sophie, and just sleeps and plays with his toys.

KK

Kliff Kingsbury. Whoa. KK is the Texas Tech head football coach and I noticed him last week as my Razorbacks were sucking it up against Tech. He is gorgeous, single, can dance, and is a total Ryan Gosling look alike. If the Razorbacks keep sucking it up I may just be a Texas Tech fan. #SorryNotSorry

Last, but certainly not least, all central Arkansas McDonalds will start serving breakfast 24/7 starting one week from tomorrow!! It’s about time!! #ChickenBiscuitsALLDay I’m a little bit excited about it if you can’t tell.

That’s all for now and I hope you have a fabulous Monday!!

    Well I still dislike Mondays :)! I think Sunday is my favorite day of the week, my hubby and I go to our favorite flea market, he always makes “Sunday night football” meals and I just get to hang out with my kiddos all day!
    I love that happy everything platter! Very cute

    I love the idea of breakfast all day. That is the only meal I am really interested in at Mcdonalds. They have the best Sausage Mc Muffins. OHH YUM! Now I want one LOL

    I’ve never had a problem with Mondays…my ‘bad’ day is always on Tuesday! I think it’s because I’m still in denial on Monday and then on Tuesday I realize that I have 4 more work days to go until the weekend ;-)

    I too love fall but I must admit I hate Mondays! Those pumpkins are cute! I am going to have to look more closely at the dollar section next time I am in target. Trader Joes always has delicious treats.

    I hope that our McDonald’s would serve all day breakfast. It would be great to have the chance to have a light meal anytime of the day.

    Reading this made me want to go shopping. I know pumpkin spice everything is kind of cliche, but I still have fun going to TJ’s to explore it all. The maple cookies are TDF.

    I’m so jealous of the all day breakfast. Our McDonald’s in Canada isn’t doing it. Boo.

    Your table looks so cute, looks so ready for Fall and HALLOWEEN!

    Mondays have never been my favorite day of the week. It’s a day to get back to my routine. It is also quite during the week too.

    Breakfast all day at Mcdonalds sounds amazing. I hope ours does it too.

    I have always been in the minority when it came to Mondays, because I always look forward to Mondays. Once Monday is over and done with, I can’t wait for Friday. :)

    I actually love Monday’s. The idea of a brand new start gets me going each week.
    You also reminded me that I have to get out all of my fall décor this weekend. I’m slacking big time but that’s probably because it’s still in the 90’s here in Florida.
