Fun Facts Friday {10/23}

By Courtney 23 Comments

1. Well hey guys, long time no talk? Sorry for going dark there for a couple days…I honestly just didn’t really have all that much to share, and pairing that with some family stuff and some busy days and evenings, I just didn’t have it in me to blog anything worthwhile. Hey, it happens. But here we are today because, well, I’ve missed you!

2. We’ve had some rain here and there this week, and all I can say is thank goodness my mother in law happened to find Lucas’s rain boots in his closet because this kid looooooves to splash in the puddles.

3. I did a little baking this week! On the left is the fall favorite, easiest EVER recipe of yellow cake mix + a can of pumpkin. Seriously…doesn’t get much easier than that, and they’re SO delicious and moist. On the right, is a batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookie bars made with a bag of Halloween chips.

4. Poor Cody…he’s got a tough life, doesn’t he?

IMG_4376

5. How ‘bout them Mets?!?! Woo Hoo!! I’m honestly not a huge baseball fan (not as much as I am football, at least), but the Mets have always been my team. This is solely because this was  my dad’s team growing up and, well, I wanted to like everything he liked. Winking smile I’ve had the pleasure of going to a few games in the past, and I’m so excited to see them heading to the World Series!

Although, I don’t think I ever knew a bigger Mets fan than my 2 Nana’s, so I hope she’s cheering them on from up there in Heaven. <3

6. I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I made a sandwich for lunch, but yesterday I had to stop home quick on my lunch hour and decided to make one. WOW, was it fabulous! Rotisserie chicken, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and pickles with mayo. Yum x1000.

7. Umm, I’ll take a whole pan of this Halloween Chocolate Bark recipe, thankyouverymuch!

8. I honestly never thought I’d say this, but I am now the proud owner of a selfie stick, thanks to Stitch Fix! I received this fun little package in the mail from them yesterday, as a thank you for being a loyal customer.

IMG_4384

Of course, we had to test it out…and now you can see the disaster that is my living room currently.

IMG_4386

Oh, and speaking of Stitch Fix, they now have their own app! You can download it HERE and use it to share a profile photo with your Stylist for a more personalized Fix. I love it!

9. I’ve been dying all week to see a teaser picture from our mini photo session last week, and our photographer finally put one up the other day. All I can say is, I am absolutely in LOVE and am SO excited to see how the rest of them came out!!

Mama’s boy 4 life. <3 <3

10. We’ve had some more great dinners over here this week and they’ve all been so easy, too. Gotta love that! Be on the lookout for ‘em on Sunday, as always, but in the meantime, this post with tons of one-pot fall recipes has got me salivating!

11. Thanks to everyone who entered the $100 gift card giveaway earlier this week! I’ve gotta say, you’ve all got some delicious sounding restaurants around you and I basically want to come visit ALL of them with you now. That’s cool, right? Winking smile Well until then, how ‘bout a giveaway winner. Congrats to reader, Lauren!

Lauren, be sure to email me at sweettoothcourtney at gmail dot com so I can hook you up with your gift card!!

12. Alright, I think I’m done for today. I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! Smile

    haha get out -- i also am now a selfie stick owner as of Wednesday (which is something i thought i'd never say as well!), b/c one of our vendors came into the office and was all, "i brought you a present!" so funny and i'm actually stoked to see what sort of silliness i can get into with that here in NYC. that family pic is sooooo precious! fall is such the perfect season (esp upstate) for a beautiful photo shoot.

    The family photo is absolutely lovely! Those dogs always have the best life. My parents included our pups in the professional photos when I was growing up :)

    Hi Courtney! I'm sorry to hear about your family stuff. Im sending (virtual) hugs and prayers your way. Lucas is just too cute in his rain boots. Love the pumpkin treats and baked goods! Also, the selfie stick is adorable. <3 Enjoy your weekend!

    You need to swap out the yellow cake mix for spice cake mix in the most easy fall recipe ever. So tasty!!!!

    I am loving sandwiches too. I don't know if it is because fall is here, but salads have been replaced by sandwiches for lunch! Loving them.

    Hi Courtney! I just love the preview of the family photos, and the picture of little man in the puddles! I got a selfie stick last year as part of a gift bag and have only used it once. I love the look of pictures that come out when you use one, but really am not a fan of bringing that thing around haha! Happy weekend! :)

    Not a Mets fan myself but my darling husband is from Valatie, NY so he's dragging me to Game 3. At least the atomsphere will be stellar.
