I know we’re all thinking, it’s December ???
How did that happen!!!
I guess we all were busy enjoying Fall fun!
It’s time for another Tale of the Traveling Tote and a giveaway~
We are 10 ladies who have a passion for MacKenzie-Childs
and all have the same Courtly Check tote
Every 3 months we share where our totes have been
and give away an item from MacKenzie-Childs
Our family kicked off September with our annual trip
to the beach house for Labor Day weekend
We enjoyed a long weekend with beautiful weather
and Charlie Brown went on his first fishing trip with the big boys
I did a little fall decorating
Then it was back to the city for football games
and parties!
In October we went back to the beach for another Fall holiday weekend
We are so thankful that the hurricane season was kind to us this year,
but so saddened by the destruction and loss that Florida suffered…
Our beach house is only a 4 1/2 hour trip from our “city” houses
so our family does a lot of “back and forthing” all year long
When Covid hit in early 2020 and the lock downs began,
we were lucky that my hairdresser started doing “haircut house calls”
for some of her customers
She and I have been friends for years
and DD’s whole family goes to her too
Even after things began to open up
she continued to make house calls for a few of her customers,
Lucky us!
Every 4-5 weeks we have “happy hour haircuts” in the late afternoon
HHjr and his boys and I go over to DD’s
and we take turns getting beautified
I load a tote with shampoo, conditioner, a hair dryer and towel
for washing my hair …{I took my Serendipity tote this time}
and we have a family visit between snips
DD always has CC’s and Charlie Brown’s latest artwork on display
Aren’t those Boo ghost hands adorable!
CC got a fancy French braid after her trim!
Big excitement in November,
Big E’s football team made it to the Championship game
and they won!
We planned to go back to the beach for Thanksgiving…
But the weather forecast was for rain and wind all weekend
so at the last minute we decided to stay home
We had an non traditional Thanksgiving dinner~
BBQ ribs, Hashbrown Casserole, salad and Key Lime Pie!
On Saturday we had friends over to watch the Iron Bowl,
Alabama’s biggest rivalry game of the year
We had a feast with grilled sausages,
smoky chicken wings, chicken fingers, cheeses,
ham and cheese flatbread squares
Southern Sausage and Cornbread Balls,
an assortment of chip bags for the kids
a fruit tray, cupcakes, and
Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bars!
So that’s what’s been going on, nothing very exciting,
just simple family and friends fun… just the way I love it~
Now on to the giveaway!
