Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny, chilly almost November Saturday morning:

1. I hope your weekend is full of amazing plans. It’s Baylor Homecoming and we are all about a parade and a game.

2. Just posted another edition of “What I Bought Wednesday” over on my YouTube channel including the best way to add space to your fridge.

You can see it here.

3. If you are looking for a good historical British drama? You might want to check out Vanity Fair. There are tons of different versions, but my favorite is the one from 2004 with Reese Witherspoon.

4. It was an awesome week on the blog. We discussed:

5. Buddy (our golden) has to go get his teeth cleaned. I wonder if he’ll like going to the dentist as much as I do.

6. Thank you for all the subscription services. I think I’m going to do a round-up of all of them because there were so many great suggestions.

And now?

Here are some of my favorite things I discovered for all of us this week.

LET’S GO.

    Great ideas as always! I've started a dairy free diet.... I've hardly ever been on a diet but bloodwork is showing it to be helpful right now. Have a great weekend!

    I posted on Instagram but maybe I should ask here....where do you go for the descriptions, cost and store for the clothing items? The link only takes me to a check box to purchase but no description. The grilled cheese looks wonderful! Make mine on sourdough please:0) Wish you fun at the Baylor festivities!

    I think if you jump on the butter board trend then walking a mile a day won't be enough! I love charcuterie boards but not so excited about butter boards. Thanks for the fun links today.

    Hi KariAnne. I've been away visiting my daughter and son in-love who are expecting a baby!!! I'm just a little excited to become a Nana!!! It's great to be home too though and catch up on your posts! The stone home in England is 10/10 on the charm chart. I mean a pink room and florals.....LOVE! I've never heard of a butter board, but what a great idea. I think it could be really fun for a special occasion! As always thank you for the finds on What I Bought Wednesday. Great ideas for Christmas! Thank you!
