Morning, friends! I woke up to chillier temps on this first weekend of November, and as I sit at our kitchen island and sip pumpkin spice tea while my new harvest candle burns, I can’t help but think — wow, I am starting to turn into this guy, ha! But I truly do get so much joy out of the changing seasons and the fresh feeling in the air that each one brings, I guess I should just embrace it. This week has been all about catching up, tackling my to-do list and trying to spend as much time with Phoebe as possible after our Mexico trip. I really have felt so refreshed, and projects that I was dragging my feet on pre-trip seem so much more manageable and exciting now that I’ve had a chance to take a breather. Halloween was a blast — it was the first time Phoebe dressed up, and she was the star of the show at our neighborhood block party, dancing solo right in front of the band playing in the street (yeah, I think she’s gonna be a groupie.) Hope you’re all having a lovely start to a new month, and enjoy my favorite links from the past week! xo
A great cup of coffee sounds like the perfect weekend date destination to me!
