Hi and I hope you had the best Wednesday. Finn and I had a great day. He is an awesome sidekick and has been full of laughs all day.
The arrival of October has brought all the pumpkin things! When I got home from teacher training on Sunday evening, my dog/house sitter had left me these mini pumpkins that she decorated with yoga stuff and welcome home. How sweet! I am so lucky to have her.
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s pumpkin apple bread…I had a thought today. PUMPKIN CARROT CAKE! This is happening friends, and soon!
Finn and I had a pumpkin/Halloween-themed photo shoot today and stopped into Whole Foods after.
I couldn’t resist picking up a few pumpkin-themed things including a Pumpkin Pie Larabar, Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Cookies and Pumpkin Spice Pecans. I have tried the cookies and I can report that they are good!
In non-pumpkin news, can we take a minute to say a collective “AWWWWW” over this. Finn is ALL about watching his sisters play and today he was laughing at them! My heart melted and it was just the cutest thing.
We ended the evening with a walk while we chatted with my grandmother. Sadly, I’ve had to move our walks off the trail and into the neighborhood because ever since hurricane Florence, the mosquitos have been NUTS on the trail. they have never been this bad in the year and a half I’ve been walking there. And unfortunately, I have that blood that mosquitos just seem to love. 🙁
The sky was gorgeous tonight. It is getting dark so much earlier now.
Off to put a squirmy and tired baby to bed!
Have you purchased any good pumpkin products this year?
Do mosquitos eat you up or leave you alone? Any tried and true natural mosquito repellent ideas?

Hello my friends! I hope this finds you enjoying all of the beauty and fresh starts that spring has to offer (and not too much of the sneezing and wheezing). Life has been good over here. I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

I recently spent four nights in Moab, Utah for a three-day stage trail race called Moab Run The Rocks. Since returning home, I’ve been telling everyone I talk to about my trip that they must put Moab on their travel bucket list (43 miles of running not required to have an amazing visit to Moab [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]
