The Perfectly Imperfect Mama: Fall

FALL HOME DECOR

by Whitney Pegram - Wednesday, September 22, 2021

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!

Happy first day of FALL!

Last week, I shared a little home tour of our NEW RENTAL HOME so if you missed it & want to see what it usually looks like before all the fall décor, make sure you check it out!

I love ... like really LOVE ... decorating my house for any occasion, but there is just something about fall & Christmas that are just so dang cozy! Give me all of it!

Grab your coffee, a blanket, & come on in!

Most everything you see is a couple years old, from Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, or Walmart (this year)!

Dan built me this bench a few years ago & it will forever be one of my most favorite pieces of furniture! It's always fun to decorate!

I've been looking for something I could display my cookbooks on & found THIS TRAY from Target that worked out perfectly! I only added a cute little pumpkin to it because honestly I didn't want to hide the tray itself.

I love the way my little entry way table turned out!

And these little corners in my kitchen always make me smile!

I kept our kitchen table center piece pretty simple & have since added a candle to it!

And I love sitting down in the evenings with this view, with just a lamp on, the fairy lights lit up inside one of the pumpkins I have, & cozying up with a blanket!

Ahh, fall is in the air, friends!

PUMPKIN PATCH 2020

by Whitney Pegram - Monday, November 02, 2020

Happy November!!

So basically Merry Christmas!

Our tree went up yesterday & while I could easily blame it on 2020, it's just me & I decorate every November 1st! And I'm not even mad about it!

While we may be decking the halls over here, it's never too late to share all the FALL fun we have been having! A couple weekends ago, Dan & I took our kiddos to the pumpkin patch & had so much fun. We tried a new one this year & will definitely be going back!

There was so much stuff to do ...

We had our fair share of time on the swings ...

We did a apple launch. And Millie Jo hit the truck & won a free slushy!

We played on the gigantic bouncy balls ...

Some of us waited for our kiddos to do all the things because, "just one more time" or as Ellie Joy says "two more minutes, mom."

We got to slide ... over & over again ...

We rode the animal train ...

And we jumped ... A LOT!

One wanted their picture made on a bail of hay ...

Another one was more interested in sticks.

I did end up getting a picture of all three looking & smiling & I call that a mom win!

And we took a hayride to pick our pumpkins!

It was such a sweet day with my little fam!

I hope y'all have the best Monday!

Tomorrow is a big day for our country. I will be fasting & praying all day on Tuesday if you would like to join me! God is still on the throne, friends, & my prayer is that He will be glorified in all things!

THE COUNTY ... AIRPORT???

by Whitney Pegram - Friday, October 09, 2020

HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIENDS!

If you know me or have been around here for a while, then you know that I love a good tradition. Especially one we have in the Fall ... THE COUNTY FAIR! Unfortunately though, like most things in 2020, it was cancelled this year. I may have cried a little when I found out in late summer. If you don't know, the county fair was the very first place Dan & I ever went together ... he was 16 years old & I was only 14! Babies! We haven't missed a year up until now & this would have been year 17 of going together!! Crazy, right!?!

WELL, we weren't going to let our tradition be ruined that easily. It just so happened that several food trucks arrived locally last weekend & y'all, THEY HAD FUNNEL CAKES & FRIED OREOS! Our two must haves every year when we go to the fair!

Some may think it was coincidence ... I call it fate. 😉

So, we did what any sane people would do ... we loaded up the kiddos, stopped by the food trucks, & then headed to the Charlotte airport to watch airplanes at the overlook.
