Heather’s office fall decoration

Our daughter Heather loves to shop at Target and recently she bought some fall decorations for her office at work. The above pic is just one of them. Below is another cute one she picked out that says, “Happy Fall.” I love her name on the sign behind it!

Below is another deco of cute fall leaves. Almost makes me want to work at her place!

Fall is one of my fave times of year. Pumpkin spice lattes and everything nice:

  • Tall, genuine leather boots
  • Deliciously scented candles
  • S’mores over a bonfire
  • The leaves changing beautiful colors &  the crunch they make
  • Pretty scarves and stylish fall fashions
  • Soft, warm blankets to cuddle under with a good book
  • Bulky sweaters with big buttons, pockets, and a hood
  • Thanksgiving food with favorite family recipes
  • Cute fall decorations for home and work
  • Fall blog posts

One of the things I love about Target is their dollar bins. Recently I was shopping there, and found this Gratitude Tree below there.

I posted a pic of it on Facebook, and Heather bought it for me. I think it’s a great visual reminder to count your blessings daily and to cultivate a grateful heart.

Target also had these little appetizer plates with the inscription, “Thankful & grateful.” I also loved the ceramic orange pumpkin as a table decoration. Do you ever feel like you could buy everything in the store at Target because it’s just the cutest thing ever, even though you don’t even need it? Yeah, me too!

They also had these chic fall wallets. LOVE the teal and purple!

Although I have friends who are chompin’ at the bit to put on their fall boots, sweaters, scarves, and other accessories, I feel an urge this year to put on the brakes. Our kids and grandkids are growing up way too fast, and I want to savor each moment, enjoying the season I’m in now.

Recently I found a cute little purse calendar and on one of the pages is the inscription, “Your days are as fun as you make them.” AMEN!

Skinny jeans solution for life

Skinny jeans If I wear skinny jeans, will they really make me look skinny? This is the question I posted on Facebook this week.

Recently I bought some skinny jeans. While sometimes I feel more like the fat-bottomed girls that Queen sang about in the 80’s and I can’t say that I feel “skinny” in them, I do feel slimmer. Combined with my new grey Marilyn Monroe shirt and short black boots with fur, I even feel sexy for Ray.

Skinny jeans are the cure to a fast skinny. The key is finding some that you can actually fit into! :O Listen, if I can, you can!

Do you ever wish you could find the skinny jeans solution for life? You know, things like:

  • Marriage conflicts
  • Problems with your kids
  • Financial struggles
  • Stress
  • Health issues
  • Friends being too “busy”
  • Working with unprofessional people
  • _________ (you name it).

There is a skinny jean solution. His name is Jesus.

Try Him on for size. He fits just right.

Whatever you’re struggling with today, He’s there and can help.
