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

Highlight coming up this weekend- me and my Hubbie Sean’s first year anniversary :D! We have a free hotel room from our wedding package, so we are going to a good friends bbq nearby, then having cocktail’s at the hotel’s fancy lounge . We did not save the top tier of our wedding cake (instead we served it), so I am recreating this tonight (Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting), as well as white chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. Sooo excited :D

I have that bread in my recipes to try board on Pinterest! lol. Another great one like it on there is Bloomin’ Onion Bread. I made that last week and it was sinfully delicious. Hmm, the highlight of my week would have to be that my 3 older children have gotten along quite well, the baby has been pretty content, I have cooked a lot of great meals in the Crockpot, and hmmm, basically been a nice mellow week!

Congrats! I was laid off and it’s already been 3 mths, I’m anxious……….not moving quick enough………..but, it did get me back to school PT…………..:)
Kristin from MN 09.23.2011
Say positive and enjoy your time off! That’s what I kept telling myself when I was laid off for 14 months. I went back to school and got my masters and hit the gym almost every day! Now I have a job I love and can only look back as it being a good thing that happened to me.
