Neighborhood Fall Festival

October 30, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Tonight, we froze our butts off at our neighborhood;s fall festival. They had games, pumpkin painting, live music, hay rides, and lots of great food, of course.

I wore boots for the first time since winter!

So I think this is the longest my hair has been in years!

We got to the front of the neighborhood while the sun was still up so it wasnโ€™t too cold, and we dug in to enjoy some chili and many flavors of cupcakes.

the pumpkin ones were sssooo good. Cream cheese frostingโ€ฆyes please!

So, sadly I took more pictures of the food than the people.

I kid you not.

They set up this cute little photo op that we forgot to take advantage of. oops.

There were several rounds of hay rides, which we did not partake in.

There were โ€œroll the pumpkinโ€ races

(cheap point and shoot camera FAIL)

But the best part was just sitting around hanging out with our neighbors listening to the music. Around 7:30 my hands were numb and I realized this probably wasnโ€™t a good thing,, so we hopped on the golf cart and headed home. We had a great time, but said the only thing missing was a bonfire, that would have been nice!

I love my neighborhood and how we always have great social events!

QOTD: Does your neighborhood ever have parties or get togethers? My neighborhood growing up, our street always had our own โ€œblock partyโ€ and that was fun.

    I love your dress! So cute! And the tall boots with the socks – excellent ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s crazy cold up here too – I’m about to head out for a run in 30* weather. I fear for what the winter holds…

    I have always grown up and lived in the country. The times I was in an apartment in college we never had any gatherings. It sounds like fun though.

    Side note…where did you get your boots?? I can not find any that don’t have the outrageous heal. I am a teacher and I don’t want an heal on it.

    You are too cute! I love block parties but really haven’t had too many since we’ve been married and live in apartments.

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasnโ€™t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how โ€” nonstop licking. What started as โ€œnormal anxious behaviorโ€ turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. Sheโ€™s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

Iโ€™m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. Youโ€™re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real โ€” and it deserves real support. ๐Ÿค

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and theyโ€™ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dollyโ€™s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! โœˆ๏ธ

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! Itโ€™s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so itโ€™s very easy to grab things in flight! Iโ€™ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? ๐Ÿ‘œโœจ

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you donโ€™t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.
