Today, I’m linking up with my favorite girls Narci, Andrea and Erika and sharing some of my Friday Favorites with you!
I don’t know about you ladies…but after our first two weeks of school, this mama needs a 3 day weekend. We are tired over here. Andrew and I feel like this…
Let the weekend begin :).
I have no idea if I’ve ever mentioned this before…but I get asked a lot about cleaning my Wellies…
…and my favorite way is to rub a little Goo Gone on them with a dry cloth. That’s it! My black ones tend to get a little cloudy, but a quick swipe of Goo Gone over them shines them right up.
Here is Goo Gone…
…I buy it at my grocery store or Target. Goo Gone is one of my favorites this Friday :).
Now that my big kiddos are in school and Starbucks has out the Pumpkin Spice Latte, I decided to put a few fall things around my house. These two things here make me happy :). The little pumpkin runs on batteries and lights up…it’s super cute! I found both at Hobby Lobby recently, so if you’re in the mood for a little fall, these are two of my favorites.
I mean…is this a Friday Favorite or an answered prayer? I think it’s both :). This week, Texas’ beloved Blue Bell started returning to stores. My grocery store’s freezer section has been very lonely for the past four months, so I’m super happy about this. As a Texas girl, I really just can’t eat any other type of ice cream.
I’m going to really hope now that they get this all worked out before the holidays…
…because it’s just not Christmas without my Peppermint Bark :).
I told Sheaffer that I was going to start a blog called The Lumberjack Told Me To :).
She met Ashby and me for lunch at the taco place in the mall (because you guys…Ashby looooooves tacos!) and I saw these plaid shirts and bought three. #noshame #iloveplaid #okaymaybealittleshame #lumberjacksunite
I’m going to wear them with my white jeans and either leopard flats or leopard heels this month…and with my darker denim and booties after that. I’ll show you a picture after I take one :). In the meantime, if you too enjoy a plaid shirt, then these are my new faves. (For a size reference, I bought smalls.)
If you missed my book review on Monday…I read some goodies…AND, you ladies recommended some great ones too! My book review is always one of my very favorite posts! Make sure you read the comments…that’s where all of your great recommendations are!
Y’all…my very favorite pjs are 40% off right now. #amen
I bought the leopard and the stripe back in July (and a few pairs as Christmas gifts too!). These are incredibly soft….like blow your mind soft. See them all here.
And nothing says the first weekend of September like a S’mores Pie. This is not only super simple to whip up…but man oh man, it’s delicious too! To see the recipe, click here.
And don’t forget! You can view some of my cozy fall fare here.
Have a great weekend! See you Tuesday!
Not A Mom says
First off, smores pie?! YES please! I always love those pjs and I really need to make a priority to get them this time! I've been loving some plaid too, I have a fur vest for when it gets cooler and I NEED some plaid to wear under it.

Erika Slaughter says
Your goodies from Hobby Lobby are cute!!! Waahhh!! My fall decor is still in the back of our garage!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
All of your lumberjack hashtags made me lol. And I guess you've rubbed off on me…because you know I have the black and white one……and I've been thinking I was going to try it with white jeans and my pointy toe leopard flats! I guess the Lumberjack Told Me To. 😉 My Hunters haven't ever "bloomed", but I've had readers that say theirs have. Using Good Gone is a great tip, and now I'll have an answer when readers e-mail me!
Narci says
First, I'm making the snores pie immediately. 2nd, I have two bags of new fall decorations and a new fall candle sitting in my closet for the new house. The second we get those keys, I am going to decorate my mantle. Haha! Third, yay for blue bell!!!
kimm atwood says
Yay for fall! And I love my leopard Jammie's from the anniversary sale. I may need to get another pair seeing as the price is too good to pass up! Enjoy the long weekend
Beth says
Speaking of PSL season, did you know that M&Ms has a PSL flavor this season?! Spotted them at Target this week:)
Lauren Boswell says
That s'mores dip looks amazing! My aunt makes one but she uses Reese's in hers, little different with the peanut butter but still good.
Those lumberjack shirts are calling my name!

You've inspired me to break out the fall decor. My kids are already begging to get out their Halloween Pottery Barn plastic plates……..I had said two more weeks, but they can thank you 😉
I love love goo be gone. Just used it yesterday to get last years inspection sticker off my card.
I also love love your Wellies. I swore I would get them last winter, but don't know if I would wear them. Did it take you a little time to get used to wearing them?
Haley Southey says
Ahhh, ALL the plaid and all the scarves!! COME ON FALL! 🙂
Queen In Between says
Thanks for the info on cleaning wellies…my red pair look so foggy right now. Can't wait to go grab some o this stuff!
Doreen Appiah says
I'm super excited about Blue Bell coming back too. But I read somewhere that we may not get it here in North Texas till mid October. Booo 🙁
Monica Carpenter says
I bought the pjs during the anniversary sale. I love them. I find myself wondering if it would be appropriate to wear them 24/7 because I do not want to take them off. They are soooooo soft!!!!
Megan says
Ashby is one smart girl…those tacos are good. Now I may have to visit McKinney just for some tacos. And I'm going to try that trick on my wellies…they are super foggy.
Kaylee says
I live in a Massachusetts Suburb and we started Wednesday and already have a four day weekend! Needless to say everyone is happy around here! Have a wonderful weekend! And a great holiday! Xo
Sara Fehrenbacher says
You made my day! I LOVE Blue Bell Ice Cream! I hope it gets to Indiana in time for their Pumpkin Caramel flavor to still be in season! At Christmas time they have a Christmas Cookie flavor and it has like 5 different types of cookies mixed into the ice cream… it is AMAZING!! You should look for it this holiday season!
Janet says
I am a member of the lumberjack club. I have always been mad for plaid.
Ranisa says
You have such cute decorations for all seasons. Where and how do you store everything when it isn't out? Storage postPLEASE?
kelly says
This would definitely be a good post!
Keisha Dawson says
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tip on the wellies. My black pair have a yucky white film all over them. I will definitely break out the goo gone this weekend and give it a try! And… YES!!!!! So excited for the return of Blue Bell!!!!!
Meghan Moellman says
Such a fun post of favorites this week! Loved your new pumpkin decoration; now I'm excited to head to Hobby Lobby to find some new, fun fall decor of my own! I'm super curious about the Blue Bell ice cream, why did it disappear?! I don't buy much ice cream (soft serve for me!), but I didn't think I noticed it being gone here in CO. Maybe I'm just oblivious!
Carrie says
I saw that chalkboard sign at Hobby Lobby (I got there every week!) and have been wanting to get it. It looks great in your home. I have been wanting to get a pair of those PJ's, but I don't see the leopard or stripe pair online right now… guess I will have to wait till they restock! They are so cute!

Sarah Shaneyfelt says
As a teacher, I couldn't be more excited for a three day weekend! We are all exhausted! And I love those pajamas!!! Do they run true to size?

Mix and Match Mama says
I cannot even imagine how tired teachers are! You need a week off :). And yes, true to size! Happy Friday!
Lindsay at Lindsay'sSweetWorld says
Shay, THANK YOU for the S'mores Pie recipe! I'm cooking for my husband's whole family on Sunday and I wanted some kind of S'mores themed dessert. You just saved me all the internet research!! It looks divine! Happy three-day weekend!
MommyLu says
I grabbed a pair of the PJ's when you suggested them during the Anniversary Sale. They're fantastic!
KatyA says
Hi Shay! I was so excited when I saw your post that the pumpkin spice latte was back, so yesterday I stopped by Starbucks as a special treat while I was out with my 4-week-old. Anyhow I placed my order and the guy replies: we don't start those til Monday. Whaaaaaat???? So apparently at that Starbucks in Austin we do not yet get PSLs. Booo. Guess I'll go back Monday. I'm also so excited Blue Bell is back! I just love cookies and cream! Hope yall have a great weekend!
Leigh Clark says
It took me a minute to realize the sign said "Pumpkin Spice Season"….I couldn't figure out what Pumpkin Spice Seas would be regarding. Ha – Happy 3 day weekend!

Thanks for your great tip about cleaning your Wellies. The last time I wore them we took the kids to a horse farm and it rained the entire time we were there. Needless to say, they need a little TLC so I'm thrilled for your info. And the pumpkin spice season sign is the cutest!!! Happy LONG weekend : )
Kjlb37 says
Love those jammies! I ordered the gray/star pair during the anniversary sale on your recommendation:). Now, I want the leopard ones too but out of stock. Boo.
Lauren says
OK I was raised with the mentality of "no white after Labor Day" and for some odd reason I still obey. IS it ok to wear white jeans into the Fall months?? I've always just put them away after the holiday weekend…sad! Have a fun weekend, James and I feel like that picture you posted too, so tired!!
Amy Broughton says
Does anyone have an online link for that hobby lobby sign!? Went to our local store and couldn't find it
Abbey says
I ordered go walks after seeing them on your blog and reading several comments about them. They came today!! It is like walking on a cloud…a slipper shoe! Love them!
Trista @ The Classy Chaos says
Oh, i am loving those boots! And I'm big on plaid. Add a vest or sweater to anything plaid and I feel all preppy for work! Bring on the colder weather. This is my first time stopping by. Love your blog and those smores.. Happy Long Weekend to you!
Katy says
Blue Bell ice cream is the best! My sister lived in Houston & I ate it everyday when I visited! We don't get that little piece of Heaven in Nebraska 🙁 Have a great weekend!
Mama Of Boys says
Have been up in Inverness for a week visiting family and just wanted to let you know…saw an American wearing those skechers walking shoes at Urquhart Castle and immediately thought of you! Haven't had any wi-fi or 4G for a week so as soon as my babies are in bed I'm going to binge-read all of your posts from this week, lucky me!!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
Goo Gone is great for laundry too. I haven't come across a stain yet that it hasn't gotten out!
Amber says
I just got the BEST candle from Bath and Body works…I think you would love it and it would quickly become a Friday Favorite…it's called London and it's tea and lemon flavored…it's smells so good! 🙂
Nicole Downing says
I was born and raised in Texas and love love love Blue Bell ice cream. I got to go to Dallas for the first time in 15 years for work back in April…. I was so looking forward to Blue Bell and didn't get to have any 🙁 Guess I'll have to come back again soon!
Vicki Schrader says
I love those pjs but am debating what size to order. What size do you wear?
