It’s the last hump day of the month and this means I share what we’ve been up to this month! So let’s get it started..
What we’re eating:
Did someone say chili?! We’re eating some White Chicken Chili, BLTs, eggs (breakfast for dinner, anyone?) and some pork chops!
What I’m reminiscing about:
I’m reminiscing about our “pumpkin carving party“, weekend at the pumpkin patch with family and recent dinner with the Johnson’s!
What I’m loving:
All the fall colors!
And all the blanket scarves! See how I’ve styled them here and here!
And this new utility vest!
What we’ve been up to:
Dinner with the Johnson’s!
Lunch with friends 🙂
What I’m dreading:
Snow!! Thankfully it’s not on the forecast for a little longer (that I know of!) but I am dreading the freezing cold and driving in it!
What I’m working on:
Our cookie exchange party invites! It’s my first time hosting one and I can’t wait! I already have the “best cookie prize” and gifts but I have so much more to plan! I’m so excited for it and since it’ll be in the beginning of December, I need to get working on these bad boys! 🙂 Let me know if you want an invite 😉
What I’m excited about:
Thanksgiving and Christmas! I can’t believe how fast this month has gone by and I’m ready for more Christmas carols and lights 🙂 Throw in some Hallmark Christmas movies too while we’re at it…
I mean….
What I’m watching/reading:
Right now, I’m reading this:
Right now, I’m watching:
I seriously love this show! I’m so glad Hulu picked it up 🙂
I’m also watching:
I don’t know what it is about this show but I’m always hooked!
What I’m listening to:
Honestly… I started listening to Pandora Country Christmas the other day 🙂 I know, I know.. it’s not even Halloween yet but I can’t get enough Christmas and celebrating for only a month isn’t enough for me!
What I’m wearing:
I’ve rounded up my favorite recent fall outfits here!
What I’m doing this weekend:
We don’t have HUGE plans and I’ll tell you what.. I am stoked! Friday night we might drive through the Halloween homes (there’s a contest going on in a town near us), Saturday we have a Halloween themed birthday party (costumes, of course) and Sunday we’ll relax 🙂 At least that’s the plan for now! I’m making my costume and we still need to get one for the hubby.. so that’s on the agenda too for the week!
What I’m looking forward to next month:
See what I’m excited about above 🙂 I’m excited for Thanksgiving and some Black Friday shopping – even if that sounds crazy!
What else is new:
We recently had our Christmas card pictures taken and I’ll be sharing those next week so get excited! I’ve shown this one a few times but I love it 🙂 Oh yeah, I shared some fun fall date ideas over here!
This wasn’t the Christmas card winner though 🙂
I’ll be back tomorrow with a fun post about my Halloween costumes throughout the last few years.. because why not!?

Where did you guys move to?! We moved to this area 6 years ago and while it’s a beautiful area, I don’t think it’s our forever home either! Lake Harriet is such a gorgeous area!!

It’s funny how people from the north dread the snow, and southerners BEG for it! I practically pray for snow from the months of November through April, and we’re lucky if we get one day off school. I totally agree about getting excited for Christmas! I’ve already been shopping and are counting down the days until I can put my tree up!
