Five on Friday

Hello friends! I’m just going to start by saying that I just feel so behind.  And I know I really shouldn’t feel bad about it.  I have a new baby for heaven’s sake!  But I still do.  I have so much content that I want to get out to you guys that is just sitting in my draft box. So much stuff that I am so excited about.  I have a brand new updated baby registry list that I just love and think you guy will love too.  I have Molly’s nursery reveal that I’m dying to share and a few of my special tips on how to help get your newborn to sleep through the night.  I have a guide to Pensacola that has been sitting for so long and has been highly requested especially by all my sweet Navy wive readers.  I just hate that I can’t get it all done.  But it will come and things will slow down.  In the meantime, I kind of miss my non-structured, brain-dump type posts that I pull straight from my iPhone; so that’s what I’m going to give you today! Here’s my five on Friday 🙂

{One}

We made this Two-Ingredient Pumpkin bread this week and it’s such a hit.  It really is just two ingredients too!  You can make muffins, mini bundt cakes, mini bread loaves, big bread loaves, whatever you want.  They make great little gifts for neighbors, teachers, friends, or family too.

I also made this artichoke and mushroom dip this week.  It’s one of our favorite hot dips! Perfect for football weekends.

We spent most of this week watching the Weather Channel on pins and needles over Hurricane Michael. What a scary storm we had in the Gulf of Mexico.  So many of you were so sweet to send messages to check on my family.  Thankfully, Pensacola missed the storm completely pretty much.  We barely ended up getting any rain and just a little wind.  The beautiful beach towns to the east of us were not so lucky.  It was complete devastation from Panama City to Tallahassee.  It makes me so sad to see the images out there.  Pensacola saw that type of devastation in 2004 with Hurricane Ivan.  It was horrific.  We lost my childhood home and many of our childhood photos and memorabilia in that storm.  I know so many families are feeling incredible sadness and loss during this time.   So many prayers needed as these towns slowly pick the pieces back up.

Brody and I went into the Halloween costume store this week and I let him pick out his costume.  He’s pretty stoked to be Captain America.  I’m pretty sure we will see him in it every day between now and Halloween.

I really had to go to the costume store for me though!  I go to an annual Witches party that my sweet friend throws for her birthday every year.  I needed a new witches outfit so I picked out Sandy Sanderson from Hocus Pocus.  Please ignore the size of my lady lumps in this picture.  I blame it on the milk!!  This witches party is amazing though!! Like incredible decorations and the most amazing Halloween tablescape every single year.  My photos never do it justice because the lighting is so hard, but it’s so pretty.

That’s it friends.  Were hanging at home this weekend and have some family coming in town to visit.  We will be doing some soccer and birthday party fun with friends and just chilling!  Hope you have a great one!
