I can’t even tell you how long it’s been since I’ve put together a Top Ten. Life has been a crazy train lately- but I wanted to quickly share a few things that I’ve been loving. You know how this works- it can be any 10 things that I’m currently crushing on. {This post may have some affiliate links to help you find said items.} So here goes…
1.) My Keurig K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker: My Hubby surprised me with this baby from Wal Mart a few weeks ago. (You can get a similar one on Amazon– but the Wal Mart one is less than $100!). I’ve wanted a Keurig for a long time- but didn’t want to give up my traditional coffee pot. Because on weekends, we drink copious amounts of coffee…But, when it’s just me or I need an afternoon pick-me-up, then I use the K-Cup side. Win-win!
2.) Pretty much every season I have to pick up a new coffee mug to add to my ever-growing collection. So, this Sweater Weather Mug was a must for me, especially since it was under $3. Mama loves a good deal!
3.) Apparently I’m on a Wal Mart/Coffee kick- because my next favorite are these Peppermint Mocha K-Cups. They’re the Great Value brand- so they’re super cheap, and they are also SO delicious! They are the perfect blend of peppermint and chocolate flavor- no creamer needed. I just add a little sugar, a splash of almond milk, and I’m saving tons of $$$ not going to Starbucks. It tastes like Christmas in a cup, that I can get all year long.
4.) Check out my Book Review from yesterday to see what book I am loving this week! It’s helping me get my clutter and chaos under control- for which I am eternally grateful.
5.) Did you see my gorgeous new Master Bedroom Wall Art? I am OBSESSED with it! I seriously spent hours and hours over months trying to find what I was envisioning in my head for that space. And I finally stumbled upon IvMarART on Etsy– all the way in Bulgaria! These prints are the perfect blend of sexy and romantic without being vulgar. And they totally go along with the Old Hollywood vibe I’m trying to get in our Master Bedroom.
6.) I’ve never been much of a Leopard Print lover before, but now thanks to Love, Kuza and this Animal Print Dolman Sweater– I’m hooked. Bring on ALL the animal prints for fall! {Thanks to Love, Kuza for allowing me to be a brand ambassador and sending me some samples to share their products with you!}
7.) I broke out my Red Apple Lipstick ‘Appley Ever After‘ again and I’ve been wearing it a LOT. It is another great red-option for Fall. Give me all the reds and browns this time of year!
8.) Soups and stews on repeat. I’ve made chicken and dumplings, beef stew, and pot roast in the last couple of weeks. There’s something about slow cooking and simmering delicious ingredients that screams fall and family time. I enjoy the slow chopping and stirring process- feeding the ones that I love delicious and hearty meals is one of my love languages.
9.) Reading by the fire. We lit up our fireplace for the first time this week and I sipped coffee and read by it to start my day- and there really isn’t a better way to put me in a good mood in a morning. Looking forward to MANY more fires and lots of books.
10.) Fall activities. This weekend we went to our church’s Fall Fam Jam. I’m trying to plan a pumpkin patch/apple picking trip. We have pumpkin carving next weekend, then Halloween! All of the fun, family activities that I love to partake in this season. We’re busy, but having SO much fun!
