How fitting that today, the official first day of Fall, is the first day I saw my breath on my morning walk – ahh!
Coupled with this week’s chillier temps is the undeniably beautiful rainbow of colors that tree leaves all over the city have turned into, seemingly overnight. Fluttering to the ground and audibly crunching underfoot. ‘Tis the season! Here are this week’s favorite finds from around the web.
Favorite seasonal sip: Spiced Cider in Apple Cups. Edible vessels, people! ;)
Favorite DIY decor: Book Art. So smart and chic looking!
Favorite sweet treat: Butterfinger Blondies. My mouth waters when I stare at this picture.
Favorite piece of advice. Right?!
Favorite pop of color. Need this door for my future dream home.
Favorite sweet & savory bite: Sassy Sweet Potato Fries. Awesome sweet & savory combo of flavahs.
Favorite dizzy drink: Ginger Apple Bourbon. I think I’m making this tomorrow. Muwahahaha!
Favorite Show: Awkward. As if I needed another show to get sucked into! Sooo smart and funny though.
Favorite nail polish: NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish. Only $1.99/bottle, this nail polish dries in record speed.
Favorite (and freakiest!) spot: Great Belize Blue Hole. That is a straight up HOLE in the ocean.
Favorite meal on the go: Chicken Cashew Salad from Culvers. I had this salad a few weeks ago during a road trip. SO YUM.
Favorite wake up call. Awww. :)
Favorite recipe: Crack Bread aka Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls. I’m scared to make this for fear I will eat the entire loaf. I’m making it anyways.
Favorite serene scene: Emerald Gorge, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. Very Fern Gully-esque, no?
Favorite fashionista: Pippa Middleton. Can we trade closets?
Favorite new Larabar flavor: Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte.
TGIF everyone! :D

The highlight of my week was when a darling little girl in my preschool class positively lit up and audibly squealed with delight when she noticed the key/charm necklace that I was wearing (and I had worn it for her benefit because she loves tiny things) – so cute! :)

The highlight of my week was my 11 month old finally getting her very first tooth in! The tooth has been trying to break through the gums the last two weeks which means less sleep for all of us and finally yesterday there it was! :)

As a night ER RN, having 4 days off and getting back on the “day” timezone did wonders for me. I got to cook homemade meals and run every.single.day. It was an ER detox and IT.FELT.GOOD. =)
Happy first day of Fall!

The highlight of my week happened yesterday! I ran down to the beach, did a nice 5 mile run to train for the breast cancer run next weekend, and then headed to the local farmers market. I picked up some freshly picked honey crisp apples (my fave!) and a bunch of leafy greens. I headed home feeling amazing after my run, cooked a delicious dinner, and sat on my porch and watch the crazy storm that turned into one of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen.
