Happy Monday!

It's Monday...again! And, I do have to say I feel very rested. With us gaining an hour of sleep I can tell a huge difference in how rested I feel. This is going to be a very exciting week. I have three work events that I'm looking forward too, seeing my best friends for a spend the night party, having my mom visit, and throwing Erin, my sister in law a cute little family baby shower. My family had some exciting news this weekend. My brother, Troy popped the question to his sweet girlfriend, Samantha and she said YES! I am so happy for the both of them. They are the most perfect couple. So happy!  I have so much to be thankful for. What are you excited about this week? 

Have a wonderful day!

Things I'm loving on Saturday!

Today has been a blast! It's exactly what I needed. Hope you all are having a great weekend as well. :)

1.) Mason and I had a blast passing out candy to our neighbors. We went through 9 large bags of candy! It was so much fun. 

2.) Sleeping in late and puppy snuggles. 

3.) Quality time with my sweet husband! <3

4.) I really enjoyed getting some holiday shopping done today. The stores are stocking their shelves with Christmas decorations and gifts. I have knocked out almost half of my Christmas shopping. My goal is to be done by the first of December. If you don't have it already, download the app Shopular. It's my go to to see what sales my favorite stores are running.

5.) I am about to head to the kitchen and whip up one of my favorite fall foods...Beef stew. My mom gave me a new recipe to try. If the recipe is a winner I'll be sure to post it later.

Until later....

Xoxo!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween loves!

Let me start off by saying I'm a girl who loves any reason to decorate and I'm all about a theme. I'm looking forward to sitting on our front porch tonight with Mason giving out candy to over 1,500 trick or treaters our neighborhood is expecting. Yes! You heard right...1,500 trick or treaters! Crazy! But I have stocked up on so much candy. The McIntyre's are prepared. I can't wait to see all of the cute kids and costumes. Here are some of my Halloween/Fall decorations, projects, my attire, etc. :)

My front porch...I decorate more for fall than Halloween. I don't like scary.

Love that Shelby from Recent Something's posted this. I plan to make this dip for a Halloween party we are attending tonight.

My cupcakes I made for my coworkers.

A selfie to show of my orange and black for work today!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!

Xoxo!

Life Lately...Sorry Little Blog!

My poor little blog has been so absent from my life this past couple of weeks. I was doing so well for a while too. I love documenting our little life but work and other obligations have been in the way from my blog. Today I want to do a photo dump of life lately with the McIntyre's. Enjoy! 

Antiquing with my Mom...we found a lot of great treasures.

Alabama vs. Southern Miss - A House Divided!

It's not surprise that Mason and I don't pull for the same football team. I am an Alabama Fan and he is a Southern Miss fan. I like to give him a hard time about pulling for Southern Miss, which drives him crazy. Haha! We attended the football game yesterday with my brother Troy, and his sweet girlfriend Sam. Our tickets were right on the 30 yard line and were amazing. It was a great day because my team, Alabama won but more importantly it was fun to spend time with Mason, Troy and Sam. The weather could have not been more perfect. It was the first time that I could really feel fall in the air. There is just something about fall that I love. Roll Tide Y'all! Hope everyone had a happy football Saturday!

How we Celebrate Birthdays!

On Saturday, my sweet husband turned 27! Since he is still on 2nd shift and we rarely get to spend time together during the week I wanted to come up with a way to make his birthday extra special. I made sure every day Mason received a birthday present when he got home from work. For a guy who is so laid back about everything, he was so excited each and very day. He loved having seven days that were all about him. I have to admit, I loved it too. It was so much fun putting together all of his presents.

 I had a lady that is local to Birmingham make cake pops that were especially designed for him. She custom made cake pops made up of his two favorite things, football and the Saints. I think they turned out so cute and they were very delicious. Since, Mason is not a huge cake person these were the perfect thing for him. If you are in the market for a super cute way to show someone you love them check out Jamie's Sweet Revenge site. Her work is amazing! 

This was such a fun birthday! I hope we can continue this tradition every year. The presents don't have to be anything huge just little surprises to make someone feel loved and special. How do you celebrate birthdays with those that you love?
