Top 2 Tuesday : Top 2 Things You've Learned From Your Parents or Grandparents

Top 2 Things you've learned from your parents or grandparents

1. Trust your gut. If your mind/gut are telling you something, it's probably right! Don't discount what you think you should be doing and just go for it. No matter how it turns out, you'll be happy you did whatever it was. 

2. Believe in your dreams and go for it. If a door shuts, another will open. My family isn't full of quitters. We're all hard workers and go for what we want. If you don't try, you'll never know. If something turns up a dead end, there's a rainbow somewhere else with your pot of gold waiting. 

Top 2 Tuesday : Favorite Things About Fall

TOP 2 FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT FALL!

1) FOOTBALL! University of Alabama Football to be exact! I love the smell of hot dogs on the grill, bourbon and coke, the sound of shakers and the Million Dollar Band playing 'Yea Alabama' more times than I can count!Luckily, my team has been top of their game recently and are the defending National Champions. Here's to another great year, Tide! Keep on Rollin'!

2) Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks are most definitely one of my staples and a fall favorite. I love getting the email that they are back in play for fall and dread the day that they take them off the menu! In fact, I was a full 30 minutes late to the office today JUST so I could get one. Now my nutritionist might not approve of these...but to heck with that...I think I'll have another!

Top 2 Tuesday : Top US Cities

This week's Top 2: Top 2 Favorite US Cities!

I've visited quite a few cities in the great United States, but so far, my favorites are Nashville and Atlanta!

1). Atlanta {aka: my hometown}
I love this place. It has a great mix of city life, suburbs and everything in between. I've lived here since I was in 2nd grade and consider it home. In fact, I rarely tell people I'm "technically" from Florida. I don't see Mike and I living anywhere else...but if I had to pick somewhere else to move, I'd go with my second favorite city!

1). Nashville

There is just something about Nashville that I love. I can't pin point exactly what it is but every time I go I have a blast! They have great bars, food, people watching (lots of famous folks like Atlanta) and a great music scene (also like the ATL). If I moved here (which I tried to after college) I'd live in the heart of the city or just outside of that in Franklin, TN. I love this place so much that I'm having my bachelorette party here early next year! WOO!

Top 2 Tuesday : Simple Pleasures

This week's Top 2 Tuesday : Simple Pleasures

1. The Smell of Clean Laundry
I love the fact that my husband to be does the laundry, cooks, cleans and helps out a lot, but one little pleasure I still get to enjoy while he does um, most of the hard work, is folding clothes RIGHT when they come out of the dryer. I love the smell of fresh, clean clothes, especially the ones that just got done in the dryer with a Downy dryer sheet :)

2. Lazy Sunday Mornings in Bed
I love Sundays when I wake up, don't have anything to do and get to enjoy the quiet time with my fiance. We rarely get to sleep in and when we do, we take advantage of it! Lazy Sunday mornings are for sure one of my favorite things, especially since I get to spend them with the one I love!

Some other simple pleasures in my life:

-chocolate bowl at work

-naps

-hot shower on a cold winter morning

-how excited my/my parents dog gets when I come to visit

-the beach
