Sundays in the South {BPD, TayTay, & Pie...Oh My!}

I am making an official commitment today.  I will blog at least three times a week.  There.  I said it.  It's official.  I may not be caught up on laundry or have a clean house, but I will get back to my happy place in the world of blogging!

With that said, I've decided to also bring back my "Sundays in the South" series.  This is where I blog on Sundays about random stuff - not related to teaching.  Let's face it.  My life is teaching, so this may not be the most exciting series, but I do TRY to have a life outside of the classroom. ;)

When I have free time, I do love to shop.  Especially on Instagram!  One of my newest obsessions is Besty Pittard Designs.  Oh. Em. Gee!  All kinds of gorgeousness in her shop! 

My first BPD purchase was a turquoise arrowhead - LOVE!  And, just recently, I finally got a ram head.  I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with these, but it makes me smile! :)

If you're looking to add to your Christmas wishlist, I would highly suggest browsing her shop! :)

No matter how busy I am, I always have time to keep up with pop culture a bit.  Can I say how excited I am about the new RHOA tonight?!  I especially love music...especially the current hits and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is no different.  I've always liked Taylor, but never considered myself a fan.  However, last week, I had to come out of the closet officially.  I'm a Swiftie. #sorrynotsorry  Had I been a popstar, I'm pretty sure she represents what I would have been....boy-crazy, girl-next-door, inspired by vintage style who makes up her own dance moves...and owns them!  I love everything about her and I especially love how she doesn't apologize for who she is!  #hatersgonnahate 

Whether you love T-Swift or not, you MUST watch this SNL "Swiftamine" video with Chris Rock....HILARIOUS!!!!  Warning: it will probably make you come out of the closet, too. ;)

I'm not a huge fan of November.  Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday.  That sounds horrible, right?  I love the "giving thanks" part, I just hate the whole FOOD part.  I'm not a home cooked food loving girl.  BUT, I do look forward to November for one special treat. 

Chocolate Chip Pecan Pies from Cracker Barrel.  To.Die.For.  I'm typically not a fan of pecan pies, but with chocolate?  It changes the entire complexity of them!  Oh my word.  They sell the whole pies in their shops but only during this month.  I may have already bought one this weekend.  In fact, I think it's time to go slice a piece!  You should pick one up to take to your next get-together....or just to enjoy while you blog. :)
