+ Listening to…a little Bieber fever. It’s a no brainer why I love him so [that was a pun – the song is called no brainer. Note to self, maybe don’t say puns that you have to explain].
+ Eating..a sloppy joe covered in cheese all sitting prettily atop a pretzel bun. I would imagine this is the equivalent to what it’s like for a unicorn to eat rainbow cotton candy [aka, YUM].
+ Crying about…the cuteness of my dad. I just got off the phone with him letting him know we’d be over for dinner to which he exclaimed excitedly “Oh good, I love it!!!” [in regards to his feelings of having visitors]. The man is so happy and positive despite that big ole halo and broken neck situation he has going on.
+ Drinking…La Croix Key Lime flavor. I don’t know if you’ve tried this stuff yet but holy ball sacks, it’s amazing. If you like key lime pie, get your mouth on this stuff asap. And if you like ball sacks…… never mind.
+ Watching…Garrett’s IG stories [aka, Becca’s boo] from The Bachelorette. I think I like them together but then 50% of the time I don’t think I do. Is anybody else battling this internal struggle?
+ Looking forward to….sleeping tonight. It’s that dang Bachelorette show, gets me [and my sleep] every time. Oh crap. I just remembered Bachelor in Paradise starts tonight, I’m screwed. Max and Ollie also couldn’t turn their eyes away from the dramatic ending last night and are paying for it big time today #hungover. 
+ Shopping at….Abercrombie and Fitch because sales like WHOA. Try and telling me you don’t NEED this button back sweatshirt, zipper crew sweater and trench coat. Exactly, we both do.
+ Planning….to make a planner [interesting concept ;)] The LIY team and I have this dream of making a beautiful / organized / fun space to document and plan your days. To make this planner as perfect as possible, we’d love YOUR feedback! Take a second and answer a few questions here!
+ Excited about….the official announcement of the upcoming collaboration with Gibson that we are doing again! This fall we will be bringing you a cozy collection, available at Nordstrom! I have a feeling you’re going to LOVE it all [I may be a little biased, but it’s all sorts of wonderful]. If you like that cozy life in the fall and winter, I think we’ll get along just fine 😉 
+ Laughing at….one of the outtakes from the photoshoot we did for the above promo. $5 to the first person who comments with what this looks like…. [dying]. 
+ Hung up on…a phone solicitor. They are coming out of the wood work like CRAZY right now. What gives?
+ Thankful for….the rain falling down outside. There’s just something about that, the candle burning next to me and the coffee in my cup that is gently whispering [okay, shouting] to go relax on the couch and end this post. I love when the earth gets bossy with me. And on that note, peace out friends, I’ve got some serious napping to do…..

First of all, thank you for the laughs 🙂 second, yessss to the button back sweatshirt!! If you buy can you let us know your review please??
First of all, I’m so excited for the new LIY X Gibson collab! Definitely looking forward to fall on this 90+ degree day. That outtake reminds me of a really cheesy romance novel…
Your outtake definitively looks like a woman’s reproductive system. Yes I went the mature route with that answer. I’m currently enjoying cheese and crackers while fighting with my Comcast cable box.
Prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow so spending inordinate amounts onetime in the bathroom. Binging past seasons of SouhternCharm (season 3 and I still thinknKatherine is baths*** crazy) Missing my grand kid so like crazy because they moved to Texas and left me in New jersey. Convincing myself I really do not need those card I fans at Abercrombie!
I love the planner opinions! I’m excited to see what the poll uncovers and what LIY designs. Congratulations on the upcoming GibsonxLIY cozy line. Winter will be super warm and fun!
I love the planner idea too, I am a planner and love to write everything down, a lot of people use their phone, me being one of them, but something about writing it down is better. Excited for the GibsonxLIY, I bought a few items this Spring and love the collection. Enjoy your blog and website, keep up the good work Erin and Team!!!
I love a good life update post and I am so happy your dad is doing better!

Sparkles and Shoes
Looks like a snake
Bahaha I’m dying at your outtake photo!! I cannot bring myself to actually type what it looks like but thanks for the afternoon laugh!
Ohhh I miss your FACE so much!! Once again , you had me at ball sacks! xoxo!
OMG – You are SO freakin’ funny – b/w the unicorn and ball sacks, I cannot wipe the smile off my face! OK that pic – kinda, yikes…. “girl parts”ish?!!
Eek… so excited for the new line. And it’s probably just me, but I see another leg/foot in the blanket (and the blanket looks amazingly cozy even with the extra leg LOL)?!?
I’m currently wanting peanut butter M&M’s, working on a blog post and listening to Parks and Recreation on Netflix. Also, the Biebs is the best! I always hear his music, think “Who is singing this amazing song?” and then find out its Beiber. Who would have thought!?
So excited about your cozy collection and also Bachelor in Paradise!!! Wishing you had your cozy collection out now so we could all were it while watching BIP!! Glad your dad is on the mend!!
That outtake 🙈Looks like the diagrams at my OB-GYN office. Excited for your new projects!
Lovely post. And the $5 question is: I see a uterus. But maybe that’s just me….:)
You are absolutely adorable!
Thanks for always making me laugh!! And so excited about your cozy line, looks fabulous! My mom and I absolutely adore Colton on BIP.
Well now I am craving a sloppy joe with gooey cheese on top. Haven’t had one in years! And wondering if 10 am is too early for a Moscow mule #mykidsneedtogobacktoschool
Ball sacks, umm yes please. Made me laugh for sure.. and your picture looks like you’re writing the trashy $4.99 “Romance” novels at Walmart, but classier.
Can’t wait to see what you ladies come up with for a planner!
Lady parts!!!!🤣🤣🤣 I love the idea of a planner! Took the survey! LIY/Gibson fall line sounds amazing and cozy! So glad your dad has such a good attitude! Currently on my way with my hubby for chemo treatment #3 of 4. Driving with the top down and knowing we got this!!! Love reading your blog and I also read it aloud to my hubby!
Thanks so much for following along! Sending hugs your way! xoxo
Currently…counting down the days until my littles go back to school 😉 I had that button back sweater and trench from A+F in my shopping cart and thanks to this post, I purchased them today! A much needed distraction (for a hot second) from laundry, dirty floors and dinner prep!
Love this post! So fun to hear your dads enthusiastic reply 💗 oh and is the outtake a Georgia O’Keefe?😂😂 😂🌹
