I may not have time to share gift guides here on Taste{Full}, but I am pretty happy with the ones I've created for Tall Clothing Mall and Live the Fancy Life!

Today I'm sharing a simple and quick fall vignette! Although I am very festive I sometimes get overwhelmed by choices and then end up doing nothing.  That describes me in general, but is definitely true when it comes to my seasonal decor.  So take my tiny budget and my proclivity to buy something because it's inexpensive vs. because I really like it, and well you get a general lack of progress.  I end up not using items I bought a season or two ago because I no longer like them.  I'm getting better by buying one item a season to build up a collection, but it's slow going!  Just keepin it real folks.  I'm sure someone out there can relate.  Anyone?  

First off, I will admit this post will be short and will barely qualify as a blog post. But when I have an a-ha moment, I have to share.  I have two daughters.  With lots of hair.  I also have a mom who likes to buy hair things.  Oh and I am a mom who likes to buy hair things.  So I have bows, headbands, barrettes, and hair ties everywhere.  It's crazy.  I really needed some bow organization.  I know you can find many DIY bow holders on Pinterest.  But I didn't want to do it myself. I know; check my pulse.

I'm a new reader to Pizzazzerie but I love the site and some of my favorite bloggers/party planners have had work featured on it.  If you need a fresh party planning resource, this is it!  So you can imagine my delight to have Nadia's party featured there!  I'm so thrilled and honored!  Check out the full feature here (and since I haven't blogged the whole party just yet, you'll see some "new" details)!

Oh and Nadia's nursery was on Disney Baby Blog a few days ago.  See that post/slideshow here.  It includes some awesome thrifted nurseries and fun blogs to boot.  And I honestly didn't realize how cool that blog has become.  I've visited it when searching online but never frequented it.  Until now!

Well I hope not! Because I have another to share! And it's not even because of the $10 coupon they give you for sharing.  Apparently that doesn't happen anymore (boo!).  It's simply because there are so many great deals on the site that I can't help but take advantage.  After losing all of my photos taken from May through September (except for 1000 that happened to be on my SD card at the time), I'm realizing how lame it is to take tons of pictures and then just leave them on my computer.  I'm trying very hard to actually print them to put in albums (so old school right?) or make books of them.  And Shutterfly is making it easy!  They recently had a 50% off hardcover books of any size coupon (sorry- it expired tonight, or last night by the time you read this), 101 free prints coupon, and a $10 off of $20 coupon.  That means I just ordered a 20 page hardcover book for $20 including shipping!  This time I decided to make one of our apple picking excursion.  Fun memory + picturesque backdrop = great photo book fodder.  Take a peek and keep reading for special offers.

We recently had our family photos done by the amazing Simply Mella.  At this point, it feels like a tradition that can't be broken.  Not that I want to break it...It's just this year was tough.  And I was SO tempted to skip it.  Genevieve has been being much more cooperative with photos but is currently in a naughty phase and Nadia...oh Nadia.  She's starting to turn a corner.  I can see it.  But for now...she's 2.  She's busy.  She's fiesty.  She's high energy.  But despite all that there's one constant: She's smiley.  Like always.  Except for that day.  Let's just say she was how old is too old to reveal digestive issues? uncomfortable.  In addition, the girls had a very busy day beforehand (definitely not wise on our part) going to a birthday party and a church function and crashing late.  So all that to say, this wasn't our best "shoot" ever and I was genuinely embarrassed at their lack of cooperation.
