My Favorite Pins~Pinterest Friday

I thought I would do something a little fun! I wanted to share some of my favorite things I have pinned this week on Pinterest and things I would like to try! I have some specific searches when I head to Pinterest. I do not really just get on to scroll. I usually go there with something I need or would like to get an idea or inspiration. 

This week I have been looking fot Fall Modest outfits to get some inspiration. I do a very basic minimal seasonal wardrobe. I am not really a capsule wardrobe but I am very mindful and only have key core pieces I use and add to. 

I really love this top and skirt outfit. I have a similar skirt that is one of my core pieces. So, if I could find a top like this it would become a core fall/winter piece. You could wear this top with dressy skirts and casual. 

Check it out here.

I have also been looking for inspiration to transition from my Fourth of July (Patriotic) decor to August decor. Those in between months can be kind of tricky if your someone who decorates seasonally. 

I am tired of the summer and patriotic look by August, but I SIMPLY cannot do pumpkins yet. :) 

This has some pretty ideas. I have a lot of blues in my home. 


Check out this pin that I saved or visit the site direct HERE.


I have been dealing with hip issues for a long time and sciatica as well. I have a board for this!!! There is a ton of awesome stretches and exercises that help with it. Go visit my board from some great help...here!



Oh.....I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I like to start saving ideas for gifts as the Fall and Holiday season starts getting closer. I am for sure going to do this!!!! I have so many ideas for the butter or spreads!

Check the info out HERE.


As I wrap this up....I love this idea. I was looking up ideas on prepping and emergency planning and this is a great idea!!!


Go check out this awesome post with great tips on this....HERE.

~Thursday~ RAIN & Fall Candles~

 Good day my friends! I have been busier than normal the last few days. I can't believe our daughter is about to head to Brazil next Friday. BRAZIL at 17! I am beginning to get a tad nervous. :) The Lord opened the door for her to go so I know she will be okay. I am more nervous about her getting to her flights and dealing with airport hassle. 

Today was spent running errands. We have a church conference next week and she heads out at the end of the conference, so we have to take care of a lot beforehand. We got small toys for her to pass out to the children such as little cars, little ponies, jump ropes, and some art things. We had to make all kinds of copies of her passport and other documents. It is crunch time, those last minute things.

It has FINALLY RAINED praise the LORD! Our grass and flowers were enjoying every bit of it, I tell you! I took a pic of it from my front door!



I took advantage of a Bath & Body Works sale on their large three wick candles a few weeks ago. I stocked up on my fall scents; I didn't want to buy summer.  I couldn't help light one up and let it burn for a few minutes. My husband thought it was funny and said that I was making the temperature cooler. We both know that wasn't true as we laughed. Hahaha!!! :) 



The candle really did smell good but I only let it burn about 5 minutes. I just wanted to see what it smelled like. For some reason as much as I am getting ready for the heat to go away I am not really ready for summer to end. 


HAVE YOU GOT ANY FALL CANDLES OR THINGS OUT??? I usually decorate after Labor Day or September 15th. What about you??


Loves and hugs!

Tomato Sandwiches & a Luau....OH MY!

It is AUGUST! It is unbelievable to me how fast time has went this summer. My weekend went fast as well!!! 

Friday, we stayed in and had fresh tomato sandwiches for dinner. Are you even southern if you have never tried one??? Hahaha! Nothing like it on a hot day.  I watched a few British Mystery shows I like and my husband piddled around. Hannah worked and Kyle was still visiting his nana in Arkansas. 



Saturday started off lovely. I had a delish cup of coffee and some nice Bible and reading time. 



 This past Sunday evening we had a Ladies luau with the church ladies. I have a lady that now helps organize Ladies fellowships here and there. This has been a huge help to me as a Pastor's Wife. The crowd was low because we had a few out sick and traveling but we still had a lovely time. The hostess was so amazing. She has such a relaxing and cozy home. There was so much good food. We did some ice breaker games and the host spoke to us on Joy. It was such a fun time out. 




The lovely host! She has become such a wonderful sister in Christ and mentor to me!!!











I kicked off Monday traveling to get Kyle. It is a 6 hour round trip! Not too bad but I was glad to be home! Today (Tuesday) we kicked off with our dental cleanings. :( I do not like them. I have very sensitive teeth so it really is not fun for me. But it has to be done. :) 

I am not feeling 100 percent today. The kids headed out to spend some time with friends as most everyone starts school later this week or next week so they are wrapping up the summer fun. I decided to catch up on some blogs and do this post. I think I will rest for a bit once I post this. 

I have chicken thighs thawing to make for dinner. It will be a simple dinner for sure!! :) I hope you all have a great day!

What is your dinner plans??
