mondays

An added benefit to working Saturdays is having Mondays off. This is what that glorious day off often looks like around here...

A little extra sleep in the morning

Enjoying morning coffee together

Pandora station playing

breakfast together...at the table

watching our new little 3 legged friend and naming her bonnie :)

 Scentsy smells that match the weather

cloudy skies and the warmth of candles

loads and loads of laundry

leaving the front door open

Getting to those pinterest projects...finally 

more pinterest projects...

Pinterest feeds my organization addiction 

Hello, Monday. It's good to see you again. 

january days.

Days seem to slow down a little more once January hits. 

Leaving more time to enjoy things such as:

your living room.

Alex's spicy peanut brittle. 

reading that book or magazine you haven't had time to get to yet.

cozy slippers.

coffee in a mug instead of that to-go cup.

puppy sitting this cute little thing. 

playing rock band with some of our little friends :)

snow.

soup in a mug.

lazy mornings.

blankets. lots of blankets.

meals at home.

the ever growing pile of coats on the coat rack.

time indoors out of the snow, ice, rain, sleet and whatever else MO wants to throw our way.

 Happy Winter.

Home for Christmas.

Christmas always comes early here at our house, but I thought I would hold out on putting up pictures until it was  truly the Christmas season. 

Here are just a few of the things we are looking forward to this Christmas season (in no particular order):

snowy weather, hot chocolate, parties, baking, family, traveling, cozying up with lots of blankets, candles burning, Christmas movies, coffee dates...

Welcome Christmas, we've been looking forward to your arrival.

a taste of fall.

The weather outside is beautiful. The leaves are changing colors. Starbucks has pumpkin spice lattes. The fall candle is burning. Life is wonderfully busy. Welcome fall, please stay forever.

 

Recently

The past month has been a whirlwind. We moved from Nashville to St. Louis. We are loving being back, but missing our Nashville friends! We enjoyed spending time with family on a staycation at my parents. We have just moved into our new place here in STL and we are enjoying making it our own. Here are some pictures that show our recent happenings.

Moving out of our first apartment in Nashville. First box done....lots to go.

Packing and more packing...

A poker game in the empty guest room the night before the move.

Time to pack up!

We had lots of help from our families and friends...thanks everyone!

Fun moving times :)

We had a Marshall Staycation in STL the weekend before we moved. All the girls went and got pedicures!

 

 

Then we went and got yummy drinks :)

Dinner out...documenting Jul's cute outfit :)

We are fan's of these three.

Summer corn time!

Alex went to a game with a friend. I was slightly jealous.

A new cozy place. Come visit?

The coffee's ready!

Here's to a new adventure!
