Let me bite your face off!

If you’re not sure where the dogs are…
Look for the sunspots.
Or maybe between the couch and the ottoman.
I love my fall-inspired nails!
Sisterly love
The perfect place to play.
Or here…
I love Olive’s ears…
A slice of life
We walked into Penzeys…
And Katie’s first words were “It smells like Gramma Jean’s!”
And then she drew this while Tom and I were shopping.
Avoid Chicago September 15-16
TIP OF THE YEAR: Avoid Chicago on September 15-16.
Tonight we got stuck in Chicago trying to get out of town after the show (it took an hour to go like four blocks).
Turns out it was the start of Mexican independence day (it’s actually 9/16 but the celebrating starts the day before) and the traffic was freaking insane!
Apparently the thing to do is drive around with passengers hanging outside the car (through the window or sunroof or both), honk your horn like a madman while waving huge flags, and cause traffic jams. And there’s lots of cops out…not doing anything.
Consider yourself warned.
Chicago date night with friends!
Cheri and Charlie invited us to see Nikki Glaser: The Good Girl Tour in Chicago (we love Vettix)! It was a good time (minus the opening act, which didn’t seem a good fit for a comedian… but it was Nikki’s BFF so that explains a lot) and we had a great dinner beforehand at Catch 35.
Friday Fave: Glade room spray
Y’all. If you haven’t tried these automatic Glade room spray air fresheners… Go do it now. I love them.
They have a variety of scents and right now we’re into the fall ones…so give me all the apple and spiced pumpkin.
Do you use anything to scent your house?
One of my fave things to do…
Katie rode Butter tonight!
Ivy’s just hanging out.
Katie made the cheer team!
It was hard waiting for the results of tryouts to be posted tonight…but she made it! She will now have practice after school three days a week and she’ll be cheering for basketball games! We are so proud of her for deciding to do this—we know it was scary!
I’m a creature of habit.
Sun cuddlin’
Awkward dog!
Ivy must touch Olive at all times.
Katie’s on a horse!
She seemed to enjoy it. I think we could have tried a little harder to find a more expensive thing—but at least it’s 2 minutes from home!
Sidenote: I’m thoroughly enjoying watching her take direction from someone without her losing her mind and/or giving up when something is hard.
WTHS Halftime show
Subtitled: The things we do for our kids….
We arrived early and stayed for an entire football game just to see him perform for 3 minutes at halftime.
Friday Fave: Michigan jewelry
I was born and raised in Michigan…so when we moved away after college and Tom joined the Marines, I was all about the Michigan items. Birch trees, Petoskey stones, the Great Lakes, etc. And I accumulated a bunch of things over the years.
This is just one necklace I have (I also have it in silver). It’s just a small reminder of where I began and met my husband…and where most of my family still lives! And I just happen to think Michigan is the coolest-shaped state!
I’M SHOWING YOU ALL THE GOOD STUFF!
SeneGence smudge-proof and anti-aging makeup!
THESE DAMN DOGS
I mistakenly left some products on the floor inside of a box and these damn dogs got into it and chewed it all up out of the backyard.
These crazy dogs.
And then naptime.
Ivy always has to butt in.
Olive will be sitting in my lap and Ivy has to come bounding up to get closer to me.
And then it’s naptime where of course they have to be touching.
We couldn’t have our precious sun babies laying on the hard floor.
Tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids.
This was in the cheese drawer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Raising one for Jimmy.
A few days late but better late than never!
The perfect snow globe doesn’t ex—
