Happy Halloween!

In the five plus years my husband and I have been together,
we have never carved pumpkins together.
I have never carved pumpkins to sit outside of my own home.
It has always been a tradition to do it at my parents house.

This year, I wanted to make it our own tradition.
So out came the knives.
Ryan said "I don't like the way you hold a knife. It's too knowing... like you've used one to kill someone before".
Evidently I'm a pro knife holder...

It was so much fun to just sit down with my man
and work on something together.
Real quality time.
My husband is the cat's meow.
The witches cackle.
He's awesome. And I love him.

Hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween!

All My Love,

Lyndsay

Just Say No!

I need to remember this more.

I get so wrapped up in everything I need to do and places I need to be.

Between work, work events, volunteering and now college - I am busy!

Somewhere in there I have to make time for my husband (when he's home)

and my family and friends.

I was looking at my schedule today and I have so many things coming up.

I always stress myself out about it all.

But today it dawned on me that stressing myself out about things isn't making my life any less busy.

I have a hard time saying no to things.

I try to fit everything in that I possibly can.

My mom would say that's my father in me.

I need to slow down and prioritize.

I want to spend more time at home, snuggling with my husband.

Rearranging my furniture.

Spending quality time with my sweat pants.

Doing the crafts and organizing the things that I have been putting off.

I need to learn how to say no and not feel bad about it!

 What I'm going to start with is sticking with the commitments I've already made and then TRY to pick and choose the things that work around what I already have to do (like work, school, and volunteering at the hospital),
things that wont take up every free part of my schedule.

I am going to try to say no.

Any tips would be much appreciated! Do you ever struggle with trying to be super woman and doing it all?

All My Love,

Lyndsay

I love jewelry.
Probably a little too much.
I always hit the clearance section in Kohl's every time I go.
And find good deals other places too.
It could also be considered another one of my obsessions.

I've been into bronze and gold jewelry lately.
It feels very 'Fall' to me and I love it.

Whats your go-to jewelry this season?
Where do you find the best deals?
