Weekly Recap Sept 2nd - 15th

Weekly Recap

I've slacked on my weekly recap post...last week I started to have a Crohn's flare up so I've been pretty low key the last two weeks so we'll just do a fun highlight of the last few weeks and I'll get back on track next week!


Labor Day weekend Joe was sick so we just took it easy and relaxed around the house.
We did end up going to Des Moines that Saturday and did a little browsing around Homemakers (I worked there in Beauty School and man did I forget how delicious those cookies are!)


A few of the things I thought were super cute for fall, I'm going to try and recreate a few of the signs for our house. Did ya'll know that they sell the Magnolia Home Collection?? I had totally forgot that, there were a lot of cute pieces. 
A few things I picked up at Target...Who else loves the dollar spot?? Although I gotta say...when they first came out with it, it really was the dollar spot but now its more like the $3 and $5 spot...just saying! 
The pink acrylic drawers were clearance out for .75 cents! 


They had this Display at Schools for Labor Day weekend, I thought it was a really neat idea!





A few of my ootd from the last few weeks! 
Can you tell that I'm totally loving the darker blue jeans...?😆 Also the brown and camouflage shirt are the same just different colors, I have one in black too! They are seriously soo comfortable.



Guys...I may be just a little byist but aren't these guys so cute!? It was so hard to find just 6 photos to share with you😆



We FINALLY got to try Ardies BBQ. They're a food truck out of Leon, they come to Osceola once a week and I kept missing them😒. Seriously SO worth the wait...the best Pulled pork sandwich I have ever had! If you're in the area I would highly recommend trying them out. 



A few of the yummy recipes Ive made the last few weeks.



Friday I finally started to feel human again so Joe and I decided to do a little target practicing that evening.

Over the weekend Joe worked on cleaning up the yard getting it ready for winter and I took advantage of him being outside to clean the house and do a little baking.

We had a little fire and roasted some hotdogs and marshmallows Saturday night, it was so relaxing and a perfect way to end the busy day.




And I'll leave you with a little inspirational quote...I definitely had a rough couple weeks with my flare up and going back on prednisone, I had to miss a few events I was so excited for due to being sick but I'm so thankful for having understanding friends and family and that I'm finally starting to feel a little better again.

I hope you all have a great week! 
Let me know in the comments something you're thankful for💜.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course). And now for the rest in really no particular order because I couldn’t possibly decide between them all🤷‍♀️. Peanut blossoms   Peanut butter cookies Peanut butter sandwich cookies Peanut butter bars -  Chocolate peanut butter bars   Chocolate scotcheroos  Chocolate peanut butter fudge  Peanut butter cups  Chocolate peanut butter pie  Peanut butter popcorn And lastly...if you want peanut butter but with a li...

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Crockpot Pizza

Crockpot Pizza I'm totally taking you guys along for a first time experiment! I'll add in the notes what I would do differently next time.  Heres all of the ingredients I used, plus my 6 quart slow cooker.   (P.S. I have a cousin that works at the Tones factory and its the best thing ever...everytime I see my Aunt I get a bag full of goodies!  We've gotten so many good seasonings like this Italian one.  Last time I got Sprinkles! - Those of you that know me well know I LOVE cookie cutters and sprinkles😂) I had these parchment paper sheets on hand and it was the perfect size for the crockpot, you can easily cut your own or spray the crockpot with a cooking spray. I sprinkled a little flour on the parchment paper, laid out both of the packages of of dough and sprinkled with a little more flour before shaping it into an oval.  Then I placed it in the crockpot and finished shaping it.  It doesn't need to be perfect,...
