Well hellooooo friends. Somehow Halloween is done and dusted, the stores are full of Christmas decorations and I’m personally not quite ready for the holiday season! Let me have my cold, rainy November days for a few weeks first, please. I kind of love the bare-treed, gloomy-skied, icy aesthetic of this month. It creates a hyggeligt feeling inside 🙂
Anyways, I’m late, but I’m bringing you that autumn (now just November) meal plan I promised back in September. I had the hardest time deciding which recent eats to share in the meal plan, so there are lots more favorite recipes linked down below, too. As always, this is a realistic look at what we eat so not every meal is even from a recipe. But hopefully you can find some new favorites here!… Read More »
The first month of fall has come and gone! The past few weeks have been absolutely packed for us. Eric took his last two weeks of paternity leave before our youngest turned one (!) so we worked on all the projects. We went apple picking, baked apple everything, filled and planted another raised bed, saw family and friends, did so much paperwork and then capped it off with two birthdays. My youngest two have birthdays two days apart which is a bit wild.
It’s in the 80s here right now (ugh)Â but in general, it’s cooling down, raining more, and the trees are starting to turn–sure signs that autumn is on the way.
I think most people have that one genre of books they can never get enough of. Chick lit… thrillers… mysteries… or for me, Euro lifestyle books. I can devour them one after another for months—years!—on end and still have an insatiable appetite for more.
You can’t go to Boulder and not hike in the mountains. It’s like visiting Hawaii and not going to the beach. Yes, our top priority while visiting was connecting with Eric’s family–but my second priority was definitely going into the mountains and this time, bringing our older kids. In 2022, they were 1&2 years old. So when Eric and I went for a hike with a friend, they stayed at home with the grandparents!
