Hello pretty Ladies,

Today I am sharing a yummy Fall cocktail I love to make a pitcher of for Fall parties and Thanksgiving. I hope you’ll try it.

Spicy Apple cocktail, A great Fall Cocktail with a kick of spice and a hint of cinnamon, takes this Apple cocktail to the next level. A great drink to serve in the fall, and make a pitcher of it to perform at Thanksgiving. Float apples and cinnamon sticks in the pitcher for a beautiful-looking Fall punch.

Holiday Outfit in Jeans series part 2✔️✨🎁🎄🎀

Can  you believe this leopard fur coat is from @walmart ?

Neither could I… it’s so soft, lux  feeling and looking under $54 

A great way to dress up your jeans for the holidays is add a little fur… and then take it to the next level, with pairing leopard with Red ❤️ and finish off with a little bling✨✨✨

Your ready for cocktails, a favorite Things party, Holiday girls night out, cookie exchange or a date night✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Not every social season, Holiday event, school function or party calls for cocktail attire… 

This series is for those that want to look festive but not go ALL out❤️ 

✨🎄Trust me… this girl loves to over dress for every occasion😉 I would wear this to a lunch in December😂 Give me all the bling, sparkle a reason to get dressed up💋

It’s that time🎄 we’re setting up Christmas Trees 🎄 🎄🎄

Everyone needs little tips to get things ready for the Holiday’s✔️

Here’s how it’s done…. Grab your Boy’s/Men✔️✔️✔️Done

Who am I Kidding😂😂😂
We know who does it all!🤣😂

I’ll jokes aside, 😉 my boys do help if I ask, however..like most of the mamas I know we get it done on our own. 

Mostly, because we do it when we feel inspired, have time or just want it done OUR way, whatever your reason, Good for you✔️🎄

You mamas out there work really hard to create the magic of Christmas for your families and know even thought you sometimes don’t think they care or that it matters…. 
Let me tell you as a mama to grown boys♥️ It matters, building memories matters and they remember  the small things. 

TRUST me they notice, they may not say anything, until you don’t do it or did it differently ♥️♥️♥️😉

(Please note this is just mom humor) 
My boys do set up the 15 foot fake tree for me… That is not a job for mamas!!

Our Trees & garlands are @kingsofchristmas

Happy Sunday Pretty ladies! 🍁🙏🏻🍂 Gratitude is an i Happy Sunday Pretty ladies!
🍁🙏🏻🍂
Gratitude is an important aspect of a happy and fulfilling life, We often reflect on gratitude in the month of  November and the Bible has many verses that emphasize the importance of being thankful. 🙏🏻

Here are a few of my Favorite Bible verses about gratitude:⬇️

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” (Psalm 100:4)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15)

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17)

These verses remind us to be grateful for everything we have, even in difficult times. By expressing gratitude, we can find joy and peace in our lives and strengthen our relationship with God.
