I hope everyone's had a great day! It's freezing here once again today and I've been eyeing some new accessories to bundle up in.  It can be hard to look cute and coordinated when having to wear so many layers but I think these items will help with that.

Today wasn't the best day for Josh or myself, to say the least but probably not in comparison to many who are suffering right now due to the storm.  These words of wisdom help bring peace to mind...

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!  Any plans for Halloween tomorrow?  We're planning on having dinner with some friends at our usual spot and I might happen to pick up a bag or two or three of candy :)

Chills and Thrills

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  It was overcast and dreary here thanks to hurricane Sandy so I spent most of the weekend inside.  The past two weekends were gorgeous so I guess it was time for a dreary one.  It has also turned bitterly cold here today (which to me is 40's or below)!  We had what seemed like an unusually warm October and I was just in shorts a week ago so this definitely feels like a shock.  I thought this would be a good chance to share some of my "warm-up" essentials.

I love having coffee and hot tea to warm up.  We got a Keurig machine when we got married and it's one of my favorite appliances mainly because it's so easy to use (plus less expensive than going by Starbucks or Caribou all the time).   I can only drink decaf beverages and for a while the options were limited but lately there are lots more to choose from!  Here are some of my favorites along with some that I want to try...

I also like to snuggle up under my faux fur blanket.  I had planned to get one from Pottery Barn but came across a much cheaper one at Home Goods.  I've had it for about 3 years now and it's held up well and traps in the heat well.  A must for cold days!

The hubby and I were also just saying how today's weather is perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (my favorite!).  How amazing does this grilled cheese look with avocado and tomato slices?!  I've made grilled cheese before with jalepenos which is also great.  If you like pimento cheese, that is a must-try as well.

What are your cold weather comforts?

Pumpkins

I hope everyone is doing well! I know I've been MIA for a little while and I don't really have a good excuse.  We've been working of course, spending time with friends and family, and taking some time to rest.  We have some projects that we've been working on too that I'm excited about and I will share soon.

I've also been on pinning pumpkin overload lately.  Here are some of my favorites that I'm planning to try...

Don't they all look so good?!  The links can all be found on my Pinterest page here.  Do you have any pumpkin or fall treats that you like to make?
