I LIVE IN CRAZYTOWN!

And I am the Mayor. Seriously. HA! Our lives are so crazy busy. We have been looking into buying a car, and that is not fun to me! I get stressed out making big purchases!

The winner is the 2011 Toyota Sienna Limited. This thing is a limo for 4 year olds, complete with a sunroof and reclining seats.

Mama is so excited. I am pimping a swagger wagon. Don't judge. Or make fun :) HAHA!

19 inch panoramic screen. Love.

I love this picture. Paisley got her first blowout a few weeks ago, and she loves, loves, loves to go see Jonas! HA! I am starting her early!!

I love this Muffin, too! He is straight pimping at a birthday party!

The other thing I LOVE is The Painted Cupcake, this place is AWESOME! It is on Glen Echo Road, over in Green Hills. My favorite cupcake is the Lemon Blueberry Cupcake. It is so yummylicious!!! I could eat fifty. In my car. Outside the place. OMG. Check this place out!!!

Here are some pictures from the zoo this weekend. We had so much fun. Griffin loved the train so much!! My sweet girl is growing up! She looks so big in this picture. I love her so much. Oh, she is sweet!

Griffin is a mack daddy!!

Griffin waving to his fans. Haha.

How are y'all doing? Miss you and love you all! Keep me updated!!

COINS FOR KATIE!

My good friend Kim Simpson is in the process of adopting this sweet little angel! Her name is Katie, after me, of course....HA! Just Kidding! I am going to lie and tell myself that, though :)

As many of you know, adopting is expensive! In order to fundraise, The Simpson's are having a sippy cup coin collection to fund this massive expense. If you would like to donate to this fund, please check out her blog, www.thesimpsonsix.blogspot.com, and she can fill you in on this fun little project! If you cannot donate to them, please pray for them as the embark on this massive adventure!

XOXO-

FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS!

I want to know your answers!

1. My go to outfit for a dress-up occasion like a wedding is:

Strapless dress in a solid fun color, a pair of sexy metallic heels, a fun cocktail ring, and a cute evening bag.

2. This week has been: Awful. Our house appraised for 80,000 under what we paid. 4 years ago! And we did everything the right way. I am trying to remind myself it is in His timing, not mine.

3. When it's dinnertime and I'm feeling lazy I'll usually eat : Wine. Kim Crawford. Layercake. Cakebread. Barefoot. Does that count as nutritious?

4. My favorite pair of shoes is: My Nine West Bonfires in Nude OR my sparkly pink TOMS.

5. A random item that I own that is completely unnecessary, but that I can never part with is: A fly swatter that has a big faux flower on it.

6. My Go To Summer meal is: Grilled salmon on cedar planks, grilled cabbage, and a delicious salad. Dessert? A Sno Cone. Tiger's Blood.

7. If I were going to write my own essay it would say: "What I plan to do once I win the lottery."

Your turn!

Thanks One Fabulous Mom.

XOXO-

WILLIAMSON COUNTY FAIR!

Being the Mississippi redneck I am, I can never ever turn down a trip to a fair! So we loaded up the kids and headed to Franklin on Saturday night. We also met Grammy and Pappy there, too.



The weather was decent, and way cooler than it has been the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong, it was still hot. But at least not misery!


We took the kids along in the wagon, and Paisley was a gem. Griffin, on the other hand, was the little circus monkey he always is. He has an appointment on Tuesday with an ENT named Dr. Witherspoon (as in, Reese's dad. I.WILL.DIE.), and hopefully, tubes are in the near future.

Paisley was a big fan of the misters.

And Griffin nearly had an aneurysm when he saw the Dollar General racecar. I let him sit in it and he was trying to crank the car. Hilarious. Boys are wild, wild, wild, wild!!! We also ate ablooming onion, two corn dogs, Lemonade, and Homeade Ice Cream. YUMMY!

He wasn't too happy that he couldn't ride anything. Paisley rode the elephants, nemo, ladybugs, tiltawhirl, and merry-go-round. She was a riding fool! She inherited that trait from her aunt Rana. She also went down the giant slide with her daddy!

No ensemble for the fair would be complete without boots!!! Last season, Baby Gap.

In Heaven!

Planting seeds at the Farm Bureau Animal Farm.

Fishing for a prize!!!

And the finale, Paisley licking cotton candy out of the bag!!! Ha!

She was in Heaven!!!!

I had to take this picture on the way to church this morning!! This is how Griffin rides to school nearly every morning! Cracks me up. He is truly chillaxin'!!!

And my sweet princess!!! In her $13.00 Encores dress. Its Viva la Fete! I hope you all are consigning in the Murfreesboro sale. The best consignment sale ever!!

What did y'all do this weekend? XO KJ

DID ANYONE SEE....

THE HELP?????

Being a Mississippi girl and all, I cannot wait to see this movie. Going on Tuesday! If you havent read this book by Kathryn Stockett, you missed a good one. Download it today!!

FALL TRENDS...

I am a summer girl, but I am not gonna lie, working in 100+ temperatures for over a month is getting OLD as Moses. I am ready for some fall clothes!! Here are some of my must haves!!


FLARE JEANS:



EVERY.SINGLE.RUNWAY.SHOW. FLARED JEANS. This is a trend that works on every body type. I bought mine from Old Navy. Yes, you read that correctly. My name is Katie Jane and I buy my jeans from Old Navy.

Mama here has a big old booty and hips (from babies and fried okra) and I love how Old Navy's jeans have lycra and they stretch. Besides, the money I save goes towards a handbag :)


My jean advice: don't drink carbonated beverages before you jean shop. always know that jeans will stretch. no camel toe, though. and mom, google camel toe if you don't know what that is(I will have a message later asking me, I just know it). Also, try on MANY MANY MANY pairs. Bring heels with you so you can see what they look like dressed up.



COLOR BLOCK IS HUGE!! I really love the red and pink. This dress is from Express. Supercute. Express has LOTS of great fall clothes.


THE COLOR RED. ESPECIALLY TOMATO.

Obviously, the runway is dramatic. But the color is amazing. Try incorporating it into your fall looks. It looks great mixed with black and brown.

SILK TIE SHIRTS (again, a throw back to the 70's)

Love this Rachel Zoe top. From Piperlime. It is pricey. I found one similar at Talbot's. YES! Talbots!! They have some great stuff this season.

CREAM WITH BLACK. FUR IS STILL IN.

I LOVE this Carolina Herrara. Beautiful.

BLACK AND CREAM POLKA DOTS.

Again, this is drama above, but take into your wardrobe. A great black and white dotted sweater or top, black skinny pants, and some hawt heels.

A LONG SILK MAXI DRESS.

A long maxi dress in winter? Yes, please!!! SHUT IT DOWN!

COLORED JEWELED COATS:

I LOVE THESE COATS!! And what about that adorable crossbody bag. MAJORLY HIP!!

GRAPHIC PRINT.

This is hawt. I would definitely wear this dress!

ACCESSORIES:

Leather bracelets. This one is supercute from Forever 21. I mix mine with gold bangles and David Yurman.

YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S LADYLIKE HANDBAG

Love this Marc Jacobs, below. From Piperlime.

Crossbody. Piperlime, made by LuckyBrands. LOVE.

Old Navy Crossbody. This one is on its way to my house!!! Ha.

BOOTS: MY FAVORITE PART OF FALL/WINTER!!!

I am in love with these Tory Burch!!!

These are also on the way to my house. Old Navy. YES! You heard correctly!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these!!!

These are HAWT!!! From Piperlime.

I also bought these this weekend at Tax Free Shopping. Nine West. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Okay, so there are some of my fall favorites so far.

What are yours??

XOXO-

KJ
