Dear September

Please slow down.

Time is just flying by.

It's so true that time flies when you're having fun.

I've already been in Birmingham for a whole month and Gypsy and I are having such a blast. 

Today I am traveling to Nashville to meet with one of the photographers I work for. 

The whole plan was to take Gyp Gyp along with me. However when I told my mom, she responded with, "Just leave Gypsy here with me! She hasn't been here all weekend!!" Someone must have missed little Gyps. I'm so glad my mom loves her;) 

And Poor Girl, she probably would rather stay home with my mom. I've had her going going going all weekend. haha I'm just trying to show Gypsy the life of a real life Gypsy. Sometimes I swear I feel like I really really am one.

Ya'll it's been such a fun weekend!

I went Hiking with Mel B, I got to spend a lot of time with people I care so much about. I got to grill with my family. I got to watch football with fantastic company. I got to relax and cuddle with not just Gypsy but with Pika & Pippi {My aunt and uncles dogs} too!!! 

and I watched Music Festivals on Palladia #outdoorweek

I'm excited for this week! I'm excited to accomplish my to do list. Mark off some to dos on the business side of things.

September is going to be a GREAT month!

Weekend Recap & Life

Quick Weekend Recap

I had the BEST weekend in Auburn with my family. I am such a family girl and it's weekends like this that I am quickly reminded why I am so insanely close to my family. I wouldn't trade them for anything in this world. 

Our Auburn tigers won. war eagle! and we got to see John & Jacob play. 

- - - - - - - 

My weekend was insanely busy though and I'm dragging a little today. The plans for this weekend are to stay in Florence and be an artist all weekend. I'm sick of my god-given talent going to waste and it isn't happening anymore:) Super excited!! Have you ever been in a rut with your work?! if so please share how you overcame it?! I would love to know I'm not the only artist whose busy life has pushed their dreams on the back burner.

Share away

Inspiring. Weekend. Fun.

It is F R I D A Y my dear friends and I'm over-the-moon about that. As soon as I get out of work, I am heading to BIRMINGHAM. 

Fun fun FUN weekend ahead. My poppie & nanny are taking me to the Auburn Game, then later we are going to see those handsome john & jacob fellas.

Can't wait to see them:) makes me soooo very happy. 

The only thing I am worried about for the weekend is those auburn tigers....please please oh please let them win. Don't want to be in an ill mood after the game....I also don't want the rest of the fam to be ill either!!

I snapped a photo this week of something I wrote in my planner when I bought it. The first day I got it, I went through every month and wrote something to inspire me for that Month. This is the quote and boy oh boy did I need it. You know...at the end of the day, what is standing in my way of the things I love?!? I know that answer and its very simple. It's M E 

A very inspiring little lady commented on my photo and her comment is dead on.

Sweet lynds is right smack dab in the middle of a six or seven week travel all through Europe {completely solo on her own}, something that she has always DREAMED of doing. Shes just traveling, going with the flow. She took the first step and I'm pretty sure that first step for her was a gigantic and terrifying move. But, she did it anyway, and now she seems incredibly happy with the decision she made. 

Honestly this girl is so inspiring. Lyndsie, Keep on living it up in Europe! You're an amazing gal and I can't wait wait wait to hear all about your travels. I N S P I R I N G my dear. so so inspiring. <3

Last night two of my favorite guys came to visit me. They are currently still snoozing. I believe they are going to fish today! I hope they stop by and see me at work. They better!!! 

I just love that picture of us. My brother and I look so much alike in this picture. That doesn't happen too often.

Well, It's 7am and I'm sitting here without any makeup on, I have to pack for the ham and get these boys up all before 8! woooooo better go.

Tootles,

Chili-Lime Southwest Wraps

Chili-Lime Southwest Wraps {turned healthy}!

The lovely Paula Dean has a WONDERFUL Recipe for Southwest Wraps.

Here is {Paulas} Recipe: 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt •1TBS Lime Juice •1 TSP Chili Powder •3 Cups Shredded Cooked Chicken {see recipe} • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles {Drained} • 1 Can Whole-Kernel Corn, {Rinsed & Drained} • 1/2 Cup Chopped Cilantro • Whole Wheat Tortillas

For the Shredded Chicken you will need 1 pack of Fresh Chicken Tenderloin Strips and a pack of Taco Seasoning. To make the shredded chicken is super simple! Just boil the chicken tenders until they are thoroughly cooked. let cool...After they are cool enough to touch, shred the chicken with a fork and knife. Place the shredded chicken in a pan on medium heat. Pour a 1/4 cup water over the chicken and the taco seasoning packet. you can use half the packet....but I like using the entire thing. I also buy the hot one;) I love spicy food!! mix well and thats it!

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, combine the greek yogurt, lime juice, and chili powder. Stir in the Chicken, tomatoes, beans, corn, and cilantro. Now fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture {about a spoonful} rollup the tortilla, and cut in half. You can secure the tortilla rolls with a tooth pick!

OH btw, there are a few things I altered from the PD recipe. She uses Mayo instead of Yogurt. She also uses flour tortillas rather than whole wheat!

These will be a GREAT recipe for any football party or tailgating you are having:) FUN TIMES! I know Frances & her man are having somewhat of a football get together this weekend....this would be a fantastic and impressive little dish Francelina!

Well I'm off to get dressed for work.

Happy Wednesday everyone. AND please share any football tailgating recipes yous have:)

Bye now
