Fall Home Tour!

I always think it's fun to get a peek into someone else's home.

So...I thought I'd open my door to y'all today!

a few things to note before you step inside:

*i love my house because it is our HOME.

*I love to nest. love.

*you (may) see lots of Aggie decor.  it IS football season, and we DO love our Aggies, okay?

*This is not my total dream nest, my tastes have changed a lot in the last several years...

but just waitin on someone to give me a million dollar gift card to pottery barn. youknowhatimean.

*I can't do everything I want to do because we are renting right now, 

so this is not our dream house by any means.

*...but I do my best with what I have been blessed with.

*think: Aggies. football. maroon.

*also, I love yarn. (see exhibits below)

*this is really important to me to share, because my home is a big part of my heart.

so...

Come on in, Y'all!

my maroon and white yarn wreath I made this year...

i LOVE it. Especially the giant burlap bow. It makes me smile, and say a little "Whoop!" in my head.

(That's what Aggies say in case y'all don't know)

here's our living room...

and you might spy a sweet little person over there by the lamp. :)

my Fall mantle...

see, I told you.

We love our Texas Aggies!

(and yarn).

my favorite throw pillow for the Fall.

I registered for this when we got married over 9 years ago.

so it's old, but it's one of my favorites!

some Aggie coziness for ya...

perfect for cuddling up and watching the Ags play on a cool Saturday afternoon.

well, really, it's cozy for hiding snuggling up and praying through the second half,

that we can get our act together and pull off a win.

(if you watch the Aggies at all, you understand what I'm sayin)

the top of my favorite piece of furniture in the house...and one of my favorite places to decorate!

(my great grandfather built it, Parker re-did it)
Of course, I have to include a pic of Abigail's first A&M game at Kyle Field.
Whoop!

loving the addition of my new hoop art, gifted to me by my precious friend Danielle.

It's made by Moonbeam Wishes. Isn't it sweet?

another peek at a sweet little face for ya. :)

just a simple Fall wreath above the tv.

My fav PB lanterns with candles, on my fav PB nesting tables. 

(can you tell I love Pottery Barn? WHY does it have to be so stinking expensive? why.)

surrounded by Abigail's masterpiece pumpkins.

I love to show off her stuff around our house.

PS I spy more Aggie love.

true.

oh hey, another yarn wreath. I made this one last year...and still adore it. :)

so Fall-y.

I love this yellow for this season!

and last but not least, over on our little key-basket-counter,

a sweet print from Jessi (and a good daily reminder to me), 

next to some more of Abigail's beautiful "punkins".

Well, that's about it.

I love sharing this part of me...

even though some people might find it weird to "open up your home to perfect strangers", I don't.

Because I feel like God has called me to open my heart here on his blog,

and part of my heart is most definitely my home.

It's where life happens, where love happens, where I raise my children, where I (try to) cook,

where we play, where we watch football as a family (duh, did you see all the Aggie stuff?)

where I learn about being a homemaker, where my husband can relax after a long day...

where God meets me on a daily basis.

it IS my heart.

Hope y'all feel welcomed here.
