Here we go again! If this post(and last week’s doesn’t make you want to visit the West nothing will)
And then my Mom and sister drove up and down the Teton Pass just because it was there.
And that’s a wrap! It was a much needed vacation and was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Lots of love,

(But first I would like to apologize to whoever left a comment on my last Yellowstone post– I was going to respond and then the comment was gone. Like no where to be found. So please know I didn’t ignore you! I believe you asked what was the most important thing I packed for the trip? And the answer is definitely layers! I’d start in the morning with a shirt, sweater and heavy jacket but by the afternoon would have striped to just my t-shirt. So if you go on a trip to Wyoming in October or late fall pack layers. Again I apologize for not responding sooner)
Okay, okay let’s move to the next location…
Tetons were by far my favorite thing about our trip. Ya know if you couldn’t tell.
I could go on and on in this post, but I am going to stop here for now. All I can say God’s creation is absolutely breath taking. Another Yellowstone Trip photo dump will be coming!
Lots of love,
Tally
Did you just read that right? Did I really write packing list? It feels like forever(and frankly it has been forever) since I have been on vacation. And man do I need it.
This was supposed to be a family vacation, but of course life gets in the way so it ended up just being my parents, my younger sister and myself, who braved Yellowstone in October. Look out next week(or the week after) for a trip round-up post or two. But for now here is what I packed for Yellowstone…
Well that’s it! I can’t wait to show you guys the pictures from this much needed get away. Until next time,
Lots of love,
Tally
Hello everybody! I wasn’t sure I was even going to write this post. I was that disappointed with this month’s box.
Out of the four or five boxes I have received from Stitch Fix this is the first dud. So I guess that’s not an awful track record. I’m going to give them another try next month, which will be late in June(I switched my frequency of fixes to every other month) And hopefully get back to styles that actually suit me.
First up in the box…
Was this Nine Britton Smocked Bottum Blouse in Beige and Judy Blue Button Front Fray Hem Skinny Jeans in Black. The jeans(while they fit perfectly) were not me at all. Too rock-n-roll. As for the top it was sheer and would require me to wear something underneath it, which I felt defeated it’s purpose. Both items were a return for me.
Next was…
Was this top; Nine Britton Waffle Henley Knit in Burgundy. I felt it was out of season. A maybe for me in the fall, but definitely not in spring. I returned this as well.
Then there was this Temma Denim Jacket in Mustard. Cute, but again just not me…
Finally…
Was this top by Pink Clover in Navy. This top while more along my style was just not cute enough to tempt me. So I returned this one as well.
All in all I returned every item in the box and I don’t regret my decision to do so. What did you guys think? Was I right in being disappointed?
The total value of the box was $255 with items being priced: $40-, $55-, $38-, $88-, $34- respectively.
Lots of love,
Tally
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the winds of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves beneath them are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
LINES COMPOSED IN A WOOD ON A WINDY DAY
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder to-day!

From crafts to nature to food, fall is literally ripe with possibilities. And I’m not just saying that because it is my favorite season… But it is, which makes it even better.
I actually let my Chargers pick this activity out and it worked out really well. They loved it! A super simple craft, great for almost all ages. (The two year old got more paint on himself than the cup)
2. Pinecone Turkeys
Another big success with the kiddos this craft involves a nature walk to find the said pinecones. Even if that walk is just to the front yard like ours was(lol). Next grab some paint and table cloth and get ready to get messy. To finish up hot glue on the Pom-Pom head and goggly eyes. I think they turned out super cute!
If you and your little loves tackle either of this crafts please share below or on any of my social accounts I’d love to see!
Lots of love,
Tally
By the way guys (as you can probably tell from the frozen lake behind me) I needed all my layers that day. It was chilly!
Okay Sling-backs are my new favorite shoes! I’m seriously tempted to buy them in every freakin’ color! They’re like flats in that they’re cute and classy, but because the back is open- Guys no rubbing! I wore them all day while I ran errands and they were so comfortable.
