Hi friends! Sorry for the radio silence the past few days over here on ABM. Saturday night around 7 p.m. we had a terrible storm and lost our power. It was a super hot weekend. The temperatures ended up climbing into the high 90s and we had no power or air conditioning. It was rough, especially on Ella. The power was finally restored Sunday evening around 6:30 p.m. I had a lot planned for Sunday: the week’s blog work, outfit pictures and food pictures. Needless to say, none of that happened without electricity! You never realize how thankful you are for something until you don’t have it! Anyways, I’m back with a new Wednesday Wishes today featuring the best animal print for fall.

When I first started ABM in November of 2013 (wow, has it really been that long!), Wednesday Wishes was a chance to share what I was currently craving. I haven’t shared a currently craving post in quite awhile and I realize I need to get back to it! Today’s currently craving: August 2019 is a mix of wear now and wear into fall pieces. And I feel like this collage represents my general feeling about the end of summer. I’m dreaming of cooler temperatures but trying to be realistic when dressing for the 90 degree temperatures!
