Your Weekend...

How gorgeous is this photo? Alas, I am not spending my weekend in Paris, but a girl can dream. No, I'll be in Seattle, clouds and all, studying and readying for Halloween and forthcoming Birthdays. I hope you have something fabulously fun planned for your weekend. In case you are imminently homebound with various life obligations, here are a few fun links to peruse with your Saturday cup of coffee.

Still need a Halloween Costume? {Here} are some family friendly ideas for you...

Pregnant? No... well you and I seem to be in the minority these days as it seems every partnered gal I know is wielding a baby bump. {These} fun maternity dresses make pregnancy {almost} desirable!

So for us not pregnant ladies, {here} are some fun frocks ~on the cheap!~ courtesy of target!

Have a fabulous weekend all!

A Visit to The Farm

Yesterday we had a little class field trip to visit Fall City Farm. What a gorgeous fall day we had! We were incredibly blessed with clear blue skies, and relatively warm temps. While the tour was pretty short and didn't allow for a ton of time for photos, the kids still had fun. We picked Pumpkins, learned about farm life {do you know what the most important animal on the farm is?} and learned how to press apple cider. Here are a few of the snaps I did get:

The Farm.

Making Apple Cider

Which Bee's are really into {literally, this one climbed right into the cup for a sip!}By the way, the most important animal on a farm is the Bee. Pollination and all... Who knew?

So pretty!

For those of you in the Northwest, I hope you were able to enjoy at least a little of the beautiful day we had yesterday! Have you got your pumpkins yet???

I've Got a Crush On...

To start your Weekend on a pretty note... Take a gander at Blake Lively in Chanel's current handbag campaign. Seriously, could she {or those handbags} be anymore gorgeous?

I sincerely think not...

Happy Friday!

The Last Days of Summer

I've had a wonderful week. We spent 5 glorious days at the beach house, and enjoyed some much needed down time, playing catch up with the fam. Since we've gotten back it's been a bit of a scramble to pull everything together before school starts on Monday, while enjoying what little is left of our Northwest summer, so I apologize for the lack of posts this week! I'll be back with full posts next week but for now, here's a little peek at what we were up to over the looong weekend!

 

How was your week?

Blogger MIA

So, about four months ago, I went on a little vacation to San Francisco. When we returned, abruptly life started throwing some serious kinks in my daily routine. Not that I'm not up for the occasional challenge, but things sort of went crazy on all sides really quickly. Work was nuts. Home was nuts. Not surprisingly, I developed severe and debilitating migraine headaches. Unfortunately, the headaches were often triggered and intensified by exposure to bright light, so my MD nixed any computer use of more than 15 minute sessions. Many doctors appointments later, I decided enough was enough. Something had to go... so after much discussion with the husband, I decided to put in my notice at work, pull the little one out of extended daycare, and return my focus to home and health.

Fast forward two months... The headaches are gone. I'm able to sleep and workout again, and drumroll, please... Back to blogging -and killing time reading all my faves as well. So I'll be taking it a little slower for a while, posting a few times weekly rather than daily, but I'm pretty excited for all the positive changes that have happened so far in this new chapter, and look forward to sharing much as I move forward.

Here is a quick photo run of what I've been up to for the past few months!

Over the river and through the woods...

 To Mimi's Beach House we go...

We have had a wonderful first month at home with my little one, enjoying what beautiful days we have been blessed with here in the Pacific Northwest, and our time together. I'll be back soon with more good things to share. Lots of good things coming in the next few weeks!
