Instagram Fun: Food, Family and Cute Cats

In case you’re keeping track, we haven’t done an Instagram Fun round-up in quite some time! Truthfully, I wasn’t on Instagram as much as usual over the summer — I got my new snazzy phone and sort of forgot to download the Insta app! Oops! But, I’m back at it and better than ever, as evidenced by these photos! It’s all about food, family and cute cats — you know, the usual — starting with a #HaircutSelfie because you all know I’ve loved my hairstyle since the ’90s…

My mom was hard at work on Thanksgiving cooking up a delicious feast! I’ve been saying this for the last few years, but Thanksgiving really is becoming my absolute favorite holiday; it must have something to do with all that food and relaxation! This year, Janelle and I took a nice walk toward the evening on Thanksgiving and it was so nice and peaceful. One of those classic Sister Moments…

And of course over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I dived into a huge stack of magazines I’ve had laying around! Well, it’s more like an entire bin by now, but you get the idea…

I present to you my original DIY hack for removing paint stains from your clothes: Fill it in with a blue pen! Take that, Heloise…

I feel your pain, Harry…I hate the Monday after Thanksgiving too!!

I officially christened our new chalkboard in the kitchen! And I got comments on it already!!

My first obligatory “IT’S SNOWING” photo of December!!!

Hearty winter chili for dinner!

THE BEST PART OF MY DAY!!! #ThereNeedsToBeASodaEmoji

Even Stella’s looking out the window and waiting for the big snow!!

Celebrities get fitted for designer clothes…I get fitted for a new wheelchair!!! Got it done and then went to Olive Garden to eat scrumptious Italian food!!! Confession: I was also a real rebel and having a REGULAR Coca-Cola!! Cheers!!

Re-watching Beauty and the Beast as an adult gave me all the feels…and filled my head with SO MANY essay ideas!!

And finally…My mom made more of my Grandmother’s yummy pumpkin bread last night and I was tasked with reading her the recipe. Just after she put them in the oven, she screams, “You forgot the eggs!” Oops!! We quickly took the pans out of the oven and mixed in the eggs. Think we saved it?? Yes, we did…they turned out great!

So…what sorts of life snaps have been filling your Instagram feed lately? Be sure to follow me and I’d love to follow you too so leave your Insta handle in the comments, friends! xoxo

Instagram fun #10: Spring madness!

As I’ve mentioned before, my life is finally exciting again now that spring is here. I might even go so far as to say that I’m turning into quite the wild woman. Don’t believe me? Well, check out all this evidence for yourself…

Look who greeted me at Target — cute dogs, the chair of my dreams and my boys!

You can never, EVER have too many sweets around the house. I didn’t take a photo of the pile of half-off Easter candy I bought yesterday, but let’s just say that my wheelchair basket was nearly filled to the top!

Sunday treat! #KidAtHeart

The aftermath of cookie baking. #EasterColors

Chocolate chip cookies, remixed — can you guess how?

Hope your spring is lovely and sunny so far, friends! What are you up to these days? Be sure to share in the comments, and follow me on Instagram for more fun and adventures! xoxo

P.S. More Instagram fun…

My heart “tattoo”

OK, so this might win the prize for the Most Random Post EVER on So About What I Said, but is it just me or is that in the shape of a heart? Conclusion: Even my eczema is a hopeless romantic… xoxo

Instagram fun #9: Late-night selfie shoots…

This, my friends, is what can happen when you allow yourself to be distracted by shiny lip products on a random Tuesday night. The result is my first selfie glamour shoot. Too much pink? xoxo

Instagram fun #8: Fall fun and a haircut…

Now, before you bring it to my attention…yes, I am aware that I used “fun” twice in the title of this blog post, but just read on and I think you’ll agree with me. I dare you…

I (finally!) got my hair cut a couple days ago. This is actually the shortest I’ve worn it in awhile and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Thoughts?

You know the season has changed when Target has been transformed into a beautiful pumpkin patch…

…and candy corn becomes the best candy EVER! Been snacking way too much on these!

Confession: I could barely hold myself back…as evidenced by these pumpkin spice Oreos…been doing some serious damage!

And look who I found…because no photo round-up of my daily life would be complete without at least one cat photo. How can you resist? I. CAN’T. HANDLE. IT.

What have you been up to lately, friends? Favorite Halloween candy? Favorite haircut you’ve ever had? Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for more fun (wow, I really do love that word…)! xoxo

P.S. A new Diary Reading and a special Birthday Open Letter is coming up shortly! 🙂
