According to my hangover, last night was VERY fun!
Just kidding – I drank wine (by myself) and cleaned the house till midnight.
Going to keep it short and sweet with a fun list of things I’m diggin this week……

Halloween is 23 days away. Bay just decided today that she wants to be a bumble bee. So now I frantically try to find her the perfect bumble bee costume….that she actually likes. Say a little prayer for me, K?
And you know by now that I’m a complete Holiday Whore…ha! Sounds so bad. lol. Any excuse to make something fun + festive. I’m here for it. Pumpkin shaped everything. Ghosts + spiders. I’m on it!
Some good ones from the archives:
This year, I’d like to introduce you to a dangerously delicious snack mix.

The Faux Pumpkin Centerpiece DIY was born last week. I typically stick with the real deal when it comes to pumpkins. I just love real pumpkins. The colors. The textures. I legit cannot get enough…Ha! But, if you remember from last year, I had a little mishaps with the REAL pumpkin centerpiece. Although it was fucking gorgeous, it almost ruined my life.
Okay, I may be exaggerating a little bit.
It rotted out. I picked it up to move it and the whole pumpkin melted in my hands. All over my carpet + dining room table. The smell that came off that thing could probably kill some kind of small animal. It was horrific. Ha! I shared a photo of it below for old times sake.

One day you’re young and the next you have a favorite grocery store….
I’m going to need a Trader Joe’s and Target detox once Fall is over. So much good shit!
Today I’m sharing all the seasonal goodies you MUST try from Trader Joe’s. I can’t contain myself with all the cute Fall items + pumpkin EVERYTHING!!
Just another Magic Monday. Switching it up. Moday’s don’t have to be manic. Let’s make them magic. What do you think? After a full 7 hours of sleep last night (which I never, ever get) I did NOT wake up refreshed and ready for the day. But, instead of thinking about how shitty today could be. I’m turning it around and thinking of all the ways it can me magic. I know, sounds corny, but my mind + heart can make or break my day. So, this is working for me….so far!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
This past weekend was sprinkled with a healthy dose of family + friends + sunshine + relaxation. It was pretty damn good!
Intentions for the Week:
This week on xoxostacyb: Old Navy Try-On. Fall home refresh. The Mississippi pot roast recipe you’ve all been asking for.

To say I am excited for the season change is an understatement. I’m pretty sure you’re all sick and tired of hearing me talk about it. HA! Yesterday was Summer Bucket List. Today a Fall GIVEAWAY!
First I want to THANK YOU for a few things……
Today I published my 944th blog post.
Next month marks my 4th year blogging. CRAZY!
Today marks ONE year since I signed up and began using Shop Style Collective. Almost every item, fashion + home I can now make a small commission on. That is, if you click on the link, like what you see and purchase.
If you shop though my links on instagram or my blog, I GREATLY appreciate it. Whether you’ve shopped a link once or continue to do so I am extremely grateful.
I was able to surpass my one year goal with my ShopStyle account by a landslide!
With August being my best month yet!
Insert: happy dance!!!
And that’s all because of YOU! It takes a lot of time and effort to find sales and link every item, but it’s something I truly love to do. And I hope you continue to follow along!

Happy Hump Day Peeps!
Short weeks are the goddamn death of me. I just can’t get my shit together. But, I’ve got my eye on the prize……Friday is gonna be here before we know it! Whoop!
I did just spend about an hour updating my calendar and oh dang. It’s about to get cray. Oh – Bay made the Lee Middle School 8th grade volleyball team. So excited for her. Which is part of the oh dang part when I updated my calendar. Plus Faith Formation starts. Omega Nu began last night and 4-H is back in effect on Monday. I say this every September, it’s the busiest + most expensive time of the year.
So, I went to Trader Joe’s + Target on my lunch break to get my mind off my calendar. Ha! Totally makes since right?
You guys, Target is HOT. I mean, like better than ever. So fucking dangerous.
The seasonal section is ALL THE THINGS. Then I hit the Women’s clothing section and went crazy!

HAPPY FRIDAY! We made it! Thanks for letting me vent yesterday. Loved reading all your messages. Totally made my day so much better. Had a great evening. Bay made dinner. We went on a walk. I didn’t sleep for shit. But, I got up early AF ready to kick off the weekend. Hit Nugget for their bacon..lol. Bay’s fave and I want to make homemade breakfast pizzas in the morning. And Raley’s to use all my Something Extra coupons. Ha! Bay and I had a coffee date at Scribblers Coffeehouse, our new fave place! All before 7:30 am. It’s gonna be a good day!
Weekend plans: Chill the f out. Sit by the pool. Hopefully get my peeps to take a hike with me. Do a little yard work. Meal prep. Have happy hour with GG. Catch a movie? I have a feeling The Art Of Racing In The Rain will make me cry my damn eyes out. And fingers crossed….make it to the new plant shop, Propagate Sac. What’s on your agenda for the Weekend?
Thing I’m loving this week…..

Happy Halloween! It’s been a full month of all things orange + black + spooky! We’ve baked. We’ve decorated (twice). Pumpkins are carved. Pumpkin seeds roasted…(my mom’s best batch yet) Bay DIY’d her costume.
The only thing left…Trick-Or-Treating!
Which is probably my least favorite part of the Holiday..lol! The kids favorite, the adults…not so much.
But, I realized today – this could possibly be that last time my girl dresses up for Halloween. I was honestly unsure she was even going to be up for it this year. I think the whole DIY costume really got her in the spirit. Or the bribes? HA!
Either way, we are going to Trick-Or-Treat our asses off tonight. In the dark. In the cold. With strangers giving our kids candy.
I will have a wine in hand, though so I can’t complain too much.
Here’s to our kids ending up with shit-tons of Reese’s! CHEERS!!!
Well, it’s a day late! It’s been such a busy (work-wise) few weeks, that by the time I get home – I’m dead! Which has left me little to NO time for this space. I’m trying though! Be patient with me, I’ll be back in the swing of things next week!
