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

After today, I am on vacation for the next 10 days. Farmer’s Markets, Hy-Vee breakfasts, and lots of sleep are in my future!

The highlights (hard to pick one) of my week is hearing my 3 month old giggle for the first time, seeing that picture of emerald gorge (reminds me of how much I loved living in oregon…not that I needed much reminding) and eating roasted broccoli. Never had cooked broccoli that way before and the whole fam loves it including my finnicky 3 year old!

Friday – FINALLY. We’ll have both cars in tip-top shape to enjoy the Iowa fall colors. Sleeping with the windows open and snuggly in bed – hot coffee in the morning and listening to the high school marching band practice thru the open windows. LOVELY!

Highlight of the week: happy hour with co-workers where I indulged in one too many whiskey diets and blew my “vegan for 21-day challenge.” On the up side, my <3 for my co-workers increased exponentially and we made some good memories. #thuglife

The highlight of my week was definitely the super secret ultrasound I got from a nurse at my office. (Lights off in the procedure room with someone standing guard, even!) It was such a relief and SUCH a high to see my baby moving around with his or her little heart just beating away!
Lizzy 09.23.2011
Any idea where I can buy the Keep Calm and Call Your Mom poster? I love it!!
Kristin from MN 09.23.2011
