October 2017
What we’re eating this week:
Potato, Sausage and Leek Soup. I can’t get enough since the temps keep dropping.
What I’m reminiscing about:
I’ve found myself daydreaming about our trip to Italy (Capri, Tuscany, and Florence) a lot lately!
What I’m loving:
The people in my life, plain and simple. 🙂
What we’ve been up to:
Birthday celebrations!
What I’m dreading:
Nothing and I love that. 🙂
What I’m working on:
Grading papers and finishing up Christmas shopping. You can view some of my ideas from last year, here. 🙂
What I’m excited about:
That time between Thanksgiving and Christmas when everything feels farm and cozy and it’s spent with a lot of family and friends. 🙂
What I’m watching/reading:
Our church is doing a women’s study called Finding I AM
I’ve been watching the videos online and completing the study book and so far, it’s been living up to the hype!
What I’m listening to:
I used to work at the kids store for Polo Ralph Lauren. They always had the most soothing and relaxing soundtrack playing and I could never pinpoint what songs reminding of it until I tried Frank Sinatra’s Pandora station. I have been listening to it for the last few weeks. 🙂
What I’m wearing:
Nothing especially new. I need to go shopping! Any suggestions?
What I’m doing this weekend:
After every weekend being filled to the brim, having nothing on our agenda has me really, really excited!
What I’m looking forward to next month:
Is it too early to be excited about Thanksgiving break? (Didn’t think so! 😉 )
What else is new:
The fact that my hairs getting longer probably doesn’t interest anyone, so nothing really! 😉
Bonus Question: “What’s your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?”
I love, love, love Katie Lee’s, “Late Summer Farro,Butternut Squash, and Arugula Salad,” from her Endless Summer Cookbook
…and there goes October! So crazy! Praying November has some great things in store for everyone!
What’s Up Wednesday recaps:
Today, we’re talking all about our favorite holidays. The most wonderful time of year, in my opinion is the time between Thanksgiving break and Christmas. I love the feeling in our home, the time with family and friends, and the food. All of it is just SO fun! That being said, Christmas takes the cake with being my absolute favorite holiday of all. From the lights, to the music, to the true meaning of Christmas it wins every single time.
Last week was so fun! It was filled with family, friends, and food spread out all throughout the week. 🙂 I loved it! While I wish I could send each and every one of you 
, 
One.
Last week was a rollercoaster of emotions and I didn’t feel well on Friday. On Saturday though, Eric surprised me with a trip for my birthday. It was possibly the sweetest thing he has ever done and the weekend was perfect! Incredible food, amazing weather, and just quality time away. 🙂 I posted a few more pictures, 
Once you start making 
jacket. How cute?!
