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 has been the realization that one of the classes I am currently taking at school is the best one I have ever had :)
The highlight of my week was being told by one of my students, “Coming to your class is the best part of my day!” :-)
Highlight of the week was finding out that my husband and I are having a BOY! :)
Highlight is that I get to go home in 2 hrs & spend time w/ my husband & 2 little boys!!
Today i found out a made a great job on my current even in school, and i finally got the nerve up to cut my hair, lengthwise and I love it!!
Highlight of the week is riiiiiight now- about to leave work and start the weekend I have been waiting for since Monday! Woop.
The highlight of my week was when I told my 4th grade students that I was not going to be there on Monday and they all went “awwwww”. Makes a person feel very loved!
My six month old spent a full week at home rather than in the hospital where he has spent most of his life. Yay!
I am an elementary art teacher, and we had our first week in Kindergarten without anyone trying to eat the glue stick. Wahoo!
I was shipped up to Boston for work! Gorgeous in the Fall!
I got a black eye last week (from a rock and too many cocktails) and it has finally healed!
I’m looking forward to getting drinks with friends after work tonight!
I’ve seen the new Larabar all over the blogs recently and given that I’ve been a chocolate cherry psychopath this week (smoothies, pancakes), I feel like I need this!
Best thing about my week was a really fun 21+ event at the Science Museum of MN on Wednesday – all about the science of fermenting, with lots of beer and wine samples!
