Blue spotted tail

Fall is great, why? Well mainly there are two options of things for me to do. I can twirl around outside a midst the changing leaves while wearing my favorite tights&boots combo and holding a fancy latte of sorts or I can wear my favorite flannel pajamas and curl up on my favorite spot on the couch with Wensley while eating cheese and drinking wine and watching Christmas movies in preparation of December. GUYS, ITS HERE! And while I've managed to last this long without having a men-with-scruff-wearing-boots heart attack (who knows what the pumpkin bread currently baking in the oven will do to my heart) here are a few snapshots of my fall so far.

Dinner party extravaganza, pre-vegetable pesto pasta and post total demolition of said meal. (RIP my 'Le bon lait' milk jug. Wensley destroyed it while jumping on the table to eat the remnants of a muffin I left there one morning. THE ONE TIME I DIDN'T FINISH AN ENTIRE MUFFIN.) Lesson learned- you have to eat every bit of your meal in my house or my cat will wreck havoc. (I can handle that.)

My grandmother gifted me with this because can I get a "what what!" if you've got a giant middle child shaped chip on your shoulder. It was a delicious red with a hearty aroma and undertones of berries and 1000 year old oak with just a hint of I don't know what the heck I'm talking about.

Lazy Sundays watching "Sleepless in Seattle" and having a champagne cupcake for breakfast are becoming a necessity for me. Waking up at 6am for work at the bakery takes its toll on me and Wensley. So on Sundays we pretend we are Kate Middleton and get our princess rest.

Wensley loves his Meg Ryan rom coms. He's all like "Mom! I don't know if Harry and Sally are gonna get together!" LOLS all around Wensley, we watched it this morning.. you know what happens!

Nothing like OHMYGOSH-ITS-THAT-TIME-OF-YEAR-AGAIN-HOLIDAYS-&-FALL-&-A-BIRD-JUST-DIED-CAUSE-I-SCREAMED-SO-LOUD like a giant sparkly pumpkin on your front door.

Hope your Friday is simply spectacular!

Blue Spotted Tail- Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes have been on repeat because well there's never a reason to not listen to them. Take me away, Fleet Foxes!

Lazy day for you, me, and the honeybee.

on the mornings i manage to wake up at a decent time {and i'm thinking like 9:30 since i don't usually work till 1.. yeah i know, i hate me too} i like to take my time and savor the morning. and while some nights i stay up way too late having o.c. marathons and live tweeting the event {late night tweeting is dangerous! my greatest downfall!} therefore resulting in a complete loss of my mornings.. i try my best to pencil in some good ole lazy time! {i mean it is one of my new year's resolutions... no it's not. okay yes, yes it is. that and eat more muffins. i'm a mother's greatest nightmare!}

a visit to the tea drawer.

quickly becoming one of my favorite drawers in the house.. that is of course after our cheese drawer. {sharp chedder cheese drawer!} EVERY HOME NEEDS A DRAWER DEDICATED SOLELY TO CHEESE AND TEA!

listening to the beach boys high water record is a sure fire way to start the day off just wonderful. 'God Only Knows', 'Heros and Villians', 'Good Vibrations', 'Fun, Fun, Fun' all on the same record. well hootin scootin bungee jump sign me up! {see?! gets you saying things like hootin' scootin'! i mean is that even a saying!?}

early morning craftin'. folks i've got a whole apartment to help decorate! museum walls are my favorite. and tend to be popping up all around our lovely little place! plus with my budget of a couple bucks its quite easy to do!

oh look its my "I Love Your Style" book from Staley! {and girrrl do I love it!} also another one of my most favorite books ever, "The Daring Book for Girls!" i love my little reading corner. i just need a great chair to complete it. i'm thinking floral vintage with a k-mart plastic lawn chair price tag! also the bundle of letters were a golden flea market find. all written during the 50s and 60s to a Mr. Max Pentecost.

if you haven't made my signature muffins yet then i don't know if we can continue on being friends. loljkiloveyou! but for real.. i pop these bad boys in like tic tacs. it needs to stop. but they are just SOOO GOOD!

hope your mornings are gloriously swell and filled with joy!
