I’m really enjoying these posts lately. Not only are they fun a little change up, but they also let me reflect back on the things from the week that were positive, fun, hilarious, and/or happy. So here’s what we’ve got this week…
I finally found my festive fall frames!! For some reason, I stored them in a totally separate closet from the rest of our fall stuff. What was I thinking?!?
To see how I made that frame, for wicked cheap, check out this post.
SOYJOY came out with two new flavors recently: Cranberry and Dark Chocolate Cherry.
How awesome is that, right? They are both so, so good.
I’ve got to include these again because, well, they make me smile anytime I eat one.
Of course, we’ve got to include this week’s Pinterest finds…

And last but not least…the siding on our house is DONE!
Here’s some before and afters:
We’ve still got a few little detail things to finish up, and we’ll still need a new back deck, but we’re definitely lookin’ better than we were and I am so, so happy it’s finished.
Alright…time to get back to this stinkin’ Jets game. I hate when they go into overtime – I get so nervous!

Wow the back of the house looks great! Renos are so much fun – can’t wait to see how the deck looks when your all finished.
Love the kitty cat in the jar of nutella that is something my naughty cat would do :)
Megan@funsizedfitness says
Hahaha, I’ve totally raided my parent’s stash of semi-sweet chocolate morsels before (especially when they don’t have any other kind of chocolate in the house when I’m visiting!)
Lili says

Shana says
Your love of all things pumpkin made me want to share a recipe with you. Since I just posted about it, it’s also a shameless (ok, I’m slightly ashamed) plug: Pumpkin and Refried Bean Burritos!
And “two trips” really is for the weak. The majority of my strength training comes from hauling groceries. Get at it!

The chocolate morsels one – me all week. Clearly, I need to get some real chocolate up in here. :-)
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Haha oh the chocolate ecard, how I can relate. Lately I’ve been pretty good at keeping my chocolate stash well stocked, but I remember going to town on those Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate squares countless times in the past.
Your new siding looks great!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
The siding looks beautiful! And I must get my hands on those new soyjoy bar flavors. It’s actually been awhile since I had them and I’m not sure why…time to change that. ;)
bobbie says
Can you tell me what color your siding is? It looks great!

Thanks! It’s called natural clay

Congrats on bringing your house into the 21st century! ;) Looks great!
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
The siding looks great! And I LOVE that cat with nutella picture. I’m not even usually a big cat fan (but Cody is cute!) but that is too funny.
Claire says
Hey Courtney! Thought I’d share this recipe with you – my mom has made it a few times before so I took a go at it this weekend and it is to die for!

Khushboo Thadani says
Hahaha what is it about grocery bags that make me feel invincible…2 trips really are for the weak!!
Kelly @ Femme Fitale says
Hahah, totally agree. Story of my ‘grocery shopping’ life!
Ali says
Hahaha… could not stop laughing at the shopping bags. I so do that! Why, it’s like it would kill me to make two trips to get the groceries in. Every time though, I practically cut off the circulation in my fingers to get everything in the house at once, phew! Totally cuteness and LOL at the cat and the Nutella, ha! Loved that.
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie says
Your house looks beautiful!! Congrats on getting it all done!!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
Haha you always post the most hilarious things!!
Melanie says
I LOVE the harvest/family/blessing picture! I was wondering where I can get one to hang in my house. Do you know?
Thanks!

Sue says
Good morning. Are the frames you used for your Fall pictures square? I do counted cross stitch and I used to be able to find square frames all over the place and I’m having a really hard finding any square frames now. I looked into having some made but they would cost too much considering it didn’t cost me very much to make the actual picture. I usually don’t go to Michael’s but thought I might if they had square frames that weren’t too expensive. Thanks and have a great day.
Sue
Courtney says
Hey Sue! No, the frames I have are rectangle. Sorry!
Sue says
Thanks. My eyes are bad. The pictures look square to me. What size are the actual pictures? I just love that idea. LOL.
Sue
Courtney says
I’m pretty sure it’s 8×10 – I printed it on computer paper and remember having to trim it slightly
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says
Hahaha oh man…I’ve been guilty of digging into the semi-sweet chocolate chips in times of desperation! Sometimes you’re just too busy (lazy) to bake, but you need a chocolate fix!
Bek @ Crave says
The siding looks awesome! Don’t underestimate those semi sweet chocolate chips! they are darn good ;) I’m really enjoying these posts :)
EG Gal says
Were you pleased with the company who did you siding? If so, would you mind sharing their name. We need new siding and we live in East Greenbush.
Courtney says
Definitely! We used Navco and they were great
