Happy Happy Autumn

LIFE
Happy Friday Y’all! Okay if you actually heard me say Y’all out loud, you’d probably call me a fraud. All of our Texan friends can’t help but tell me that I have a rather definite Chicago accent. I don’t know whaaaaaaaaat they are talking about. Tonight Eric and I are flying out to Cincinnati to celebrate a friend’s wedding. It’s the 7th one we have been to this year, but the first in fall. We are in the midst...

Good Reads!

READING LIST
I love love love to read. If you haven’t already, check out my ‘Good Reads’ tab on my sidebar. My latest books are listed there. I finished a book a few months ago and was completely devastated by the ending. Not that the ending wasn’t brilliant. It just wasn’t what I wanted it to be: happily ever after. I love fairy tales. I’ve come to realize I am a total sap and romantic and love stories that are picture perfect....

Pumpkin Protein Smoothie

RECIPES
I love pumpkin everything. It’s full of fiber, super healthy, and tastes awesome.  Here’s a recipe for a little festive protein shake :) I love this for before or after a workout. If you don’t have whey protein lying around at home, no worries! It’s just as delicious and nutritious without it. Ingredients: 1/3 cup pumpkin 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 1 banana 3/4 cup almond milk 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg Directions: It’s as simple as...

Blue Dahlia Bistro

*
One of these days I’m going to write a detailed guide to Austin. In the year that we’ve been here, we have seen and done quite a lot of things. I absolutely love this city and all that it has to offer. Great food, beautiful weather, wineries, fabulous music, & tons of outdoor activities- there is a place for any kind of person here. And it’s awesome. Eric and I move in just two weeks and I know one...

Santa Fe!

USA
Eric and I spent our Anniversary in Santa Fe, the most perfect place for a little weekend getaway. I cannot say enough good things about Santa Fe. If you’re a person who loves art, wine, and beautiful scenery, this is a place for you. With the gorgeous adobe structure & designs, turquoise abundant stores, mild weather, and desert mountain backdrop, there is no shortage of beauty in Santa Fe. We spent three days there and did not hold back with our food...

PARIS!

TRAVEL
Paris has to be one of the most unique, beautiful, chic, & glamorous cities in the world. The Eiffel Tower and all its magic,  the beautiful streets and arrondissements, and the inviting cafes on nearly every corner are only a drop in the bucket of the grandeur in Paris. It was our first stop on our honeymoon and one of the highlights.Eric and I loved strolling the streets and taking pictures of the beautiful flower shops, restaurants, neighborhoods, and...

Notes from Little Lakes by Mel Ellis

LIFE
My all time favorite poem by Mel Ellis. Notes from Little Lakes If I should come down another thousand rivers, worship at another thousand sunsets, be awed by another thousand raging seas… I will never be so inspired as a during recent five minutes while on a high hill I watched the wind fill the valley below with the ebb and flow of a million swirling leaves. And if I blush again with spring at the naked beauty of...

Family Reunion!

CREATIVITY
Eric and I spent the weekend in Kansas City, Missouri where we got to see Eric’s grandfather and catch up with his family. His parents, brother, sister, & nephew all made the trip, so it was extra special. We don’t get to see each other very often, and especially with a little one, a lot changes in a year. Eric was very eager to see his nephew who is also his God Son. We spent Saturday with his immediate...

Fall Fads: Pumpkin Spiced Everything + Plaids, Demins, and Flannel// Welcome back!

OUTFITS
It’s October 1st. The first day of my favorite month of the entire year. The cool crisp mornings and excuse to wear sweaters is only a drop in the bucket of the awe and wonder of the fall season. Pumpkin spiced everything, sunflowers at the farmer’s market, the array of color in the trees as the leaves change- I can’t pick a favorite moment. I love the smell of a campfire and the scent of a spiced candle. I love...
