Fall Bucket List: Blogtober Day 5!

Well, isn't this just the most precious topic for today! Why, you ask? Because as I sit at my desk talking fall, IT IS 61 DEGREES RIGHT NOW! In Florida!! Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially hit a cold streak!!!! Whoo! Can you tell us Floridians don't get out of the house much without sweating our faces off? It is dreamy and I hope it never ends.

Now, on to the discussion at hand: fall bucket list! I aim to keep it simple this season and take in the beauty of everything fall. I've already organized my scarves and boots, watched Hocus Pocus 4 times, and baking is like breathing to me so it's definitely amped up through this season. Our house is already decked out in our Halloween finest and I seem to have a knack for always finding something more to add in. As for the activities to still accomplish, let's talk.

Things still to do in fall:
1. Open all the windows in the house and sit with my beloved chamomile tea for hours watching the world go by. No tech stuff, no tv on, just me and the world on a date
2. Watch Remember the Titans approximately 7 times
3. Invest in my first cup of white hot chocolate; sorry Pumpkin Spice lovers, ick!
4. Make s'mores with Reese cups instead of Hersey bars
5. Paint/carve pumpkins

There we have it. This is my Fall Bucket List of items to get accomplished. I shall start with number one while the getting is good. Happy Fall y'all!

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Reset on a Weekend

One of my favorite things in the world is laying in bed on a weekend night watching Netflix movies while my Hunter and my Ro nap next to me and I scroll Instagram home design and wellness accounts as well. This is particularly enjoyable after an extra long week, I might add. I feel calm and giddy alike throughout this downtime. I am able to relax and unwind, often taking mindfulness breaks and enjoying a komboocha or lemon water simultaneously. It couldn’t be any more basic. This recharge makes me naturally happy creating reflection and gratefulness for everything in my life. I’m a hard worker with determination and I like to reach goals and make new ones so I feel like I’m on more than I’m not. I need to reset like this because it reiterates what it’s about most at the end of the day; health, happiness, and an attitude of gratitude. What is your approach to bring it all back to center?              ...
