I Solemnly Swear I Probably Won't Talk About Fall, Y'all.

I made a promise to myself, as I step back gingerly into blogging this season, that I would not use M of M as a platform to discuss weather.  Though I am holding my breath for cooler temps and layering and booties galore... I will not succumb to being one of those bloggers. After this post. I am going to layer and wear boots prematurely and enjoy the 98 degree temps like any other Southerner.  That way when fall finally shows his/her beautiful face, I will be all warmed up and ready to go.  Kapooya! And in similar news, if I read another retweet of this tweet, I will LOSE it. Pumpkin flavor is disgusting.  Get over it.

if you say "pumpkin spice latte" in the mirror 3 times a white girl in yoga pants will appear & tell you all her favorite things about fall

And we'll never be royals...

How ya goin, little chickens? Divine intervention, if you will, has provided me with some unexpected inspiration and I have done some fine tuning here at M of M!  New look, new header, new button, everything!  I (still) hope to get on a regular posting schedule.  I miss all of you!  You'd be surprised how time consuming eating Starbursts and watching Parks and Rec can truly be.  Til next time, stay merry.  PS: are you as obsessed with this song as I am?

Is It Fall Yet?

Summer is winding down in the literal sense, with schools starting back this week and next, but summer is sticking around in terms of temperature.  I am realllllly longing for some leggings and boots with some soft fall sweaters.  I cannot wait to devour the September fashion magazines and scope out the new fall trends.  I just can't hold my breath until the weather begins to cooperate. These pics were taken while in Michigan in the most glorious temperatures in the mid-70s. I never knew long sleeves in August would be an option, but you Northern gals have got it made! What are you little chickens getting in to this weekend? I hope you have a whole lotta merrymaking goin' on!  Report back. Cheers!

Home Again

Some of the best trips I have ever taken have been the more spontaneous, laid-back ones.  And the best ones are the ones I get to enjoy with my family!  We have our serious quirks and little bitty baby fights every now and then, but we laugh WAY more.  And only some of that laughter is sugar induced.
I loved everything about visiting Michigan!  Even the 11-12 hr drive was enjoyable with my crazy siblings and it was so worth it.  The scenery was breathtaking, the people were SO lovely, and if Memphis had a Trader Joe's I would never complain about cooking again.  I'm a sucker for a body of water and a pier.  It is so relaxing and so calm.  I never wanted to leave.
What are your favorite places to visit?  Check back tomorrow for an outfit post! Cheers!

ROAD TRIPPIN'

Last day of wedding talk, I promise.  Plus, it's brief and mostly about a party. (I know what you're thinking... geez, Miss B, you aren't the one who GOT married crazy pants McGee!)  Assuming you are still reading, here goes it: We are hitting the road today to drive north for 12 hours!  Memphis to Michigan in a minivan.  I should write a song about this.  Sarah's (my sister, recently married, to Rob, in case you missed it) husband's family lives in Michigan and not everyone could make the trek for the Southern wedding.  They are having a celebration north of the Mason-Dixon line and we are jumping on the opportunity to see our new family and the gorgeous married couple again!

Check out that awesome (change of) weather! Plus, I am freakishly excited to drive through Ohio and Indiana because I have never been there before! This post is eight kinds of crazy, but have a good weekend and be sure to follow along on the merrymaking journey on Instagram (@missbekah)   :) CHEERS!
