Banana Republic Green & White Top with Jeans

This is such an awkward time of year when it comes to the weather!  I'm so ready for boots & scarves and am over sundresses but the weather is somewhere in between the two.  Right now I'm loving rolled jeans, flats & simple tops for the weekends to get through the transition!

Black & White Alfani Top

During this weather transition from summer to fall, I struggle with work outfits!  I found this black & white top at Macy's and love pairing it with black capris & heels for a good transitional outfit.

I love that it can transition for a dinner out after work as well!  What do you think?

I bought this Alfani top at Macy's a few months ago and it's already sold out but I found 2 similar tops here and here!  Find my black The Limited ankle pants here!

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!!  Did this weekend fly by as fast as I feel like it did?  I can't believe it's Monday!  We've got a pretty busy week ahead in our house so I'm ready to get this Monday going :)

Friday, I took a 1/2 day off work so that we could work on our new house project.  Let's just say we were a little in over our heads.  We made some progress but have decided to hire someone to finish it!  Young homeowner lesson for sure.  We did have a yummy lunch at Chick Fil A before working on it though so that made it better :)

Friday night, we had a date night at the drive in.  So fun!  We saw Vacation which was hilarious!  The second movie was Trainwreck and we just couldn't get into that one so we ended up heading home early.

Saturday, Jared had to work so I spent most of my day transitioning our closets from spring & summer clothes to fall & winter.  I also cleaned out our closets for our neighborhood garage sale this weekend!  I pulled out everything that's too big now and am working on getting everything out of the closet that I don't wear too.  My new rule is if I don't like it enough to wear it this week and it's not meant for a special occasion, to the garage sale it goes!  I'm so over cluttered closets full of clothes I don't wear.  Are you cleaning out your closets for fall?  It really is so cleansing to get rid of stuff you don't use anyway!  Plus you can earn some extra cash to get a few new things you love!

My sweet in-laws also took me to lunch and hung out with me some on Saturday too!  It gets lonely when Jared's away on the weekends so I greatly appreciated it :) I also managed to spend some time with my grandparents that night which was fun as always!

Sunday, Jared had to work again for the air show downtown so the first part of the day Lauren and I took some new outfit photos for the blog!  Can't wait to share :)

Afterwards, we all headed down to the air show!




It was a fun time, just wish Jared could have hung out with us!

Sunday night was full of relaxing and prep for this week! 

Hope everyone has a great week!

My Cize came in & I can't wait to start the program on Monday!  I've heard great things about this program and can't wait to hopefully see some good results :)

4. Fall
Fall is almost here! Now, if the weather would just cooperate so I could wear my fall clothes I would be one happy girl! Lots of fall stuff coming to the blog soon so stay tuned. 

5. Home Decorating

Now that the weather is going to be cooling off, we're going to be switching our focus from outside projects back to finishing up the decorating inside the house. I'm excited to find new pieces that work great in our home & share the results with you!

We have a very full weekend ahead but fun stuff planned! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Fitness Update

I take being down at all after labor day weekend as a definite win!  I've already been a lot more diligent about taking photos for next week's update so the daily food/workout breakdowns will be back next week!


Also, my CIZE came in.  Yay!  I start that program on Monday so I'm excited to see if that makes much of a difference in my weekly weigh-ins!

Garlic Ranch Chicken

Garlic Ranch Chicken Crockpot Meal The Peacock Roost

If you're like me, the best recipes are quick, easy & delicious!  Most weeks we're running around like crazy people trying to get everything done, so any dinners I can throw in the crockpot to be ready when we get home are a total win in my book!

This Garlic Ranch Chicken is delicious!  You just throw the ingredients in the crockpot , make some sides when you get home (we like cheesy rice & veggies) & dinner is served!

2 large chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 packet ranch seasoning
Garlic powder to taste

Cook on high in crockpot for approximately 6 hours.

Enjoy!
