Hi friends, welcome back! October sure flew by but I’m not ready for spooky season to end. We fully embraced the fall activities with treats, non-scary Halloween movies, a trip to the Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze, and checking out some decorations around the city. In between the fall fun we are getting ready for baby so it’s an extra busy and fun time of year.
On to my post 🙂 I’ve been linking up with the first blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What’s Up posts. Each month I’m answering the following questions:
What I’m eating: all the fall treats and flavors. I’m not a huge pumpkin spice person, but pumpkin bread doesn’t stand a chance around me. I did my fair share of baking with my favorite brown butter pumpkin cookies and some classic sugar cookies. I also stocked up on my favorite fall items from Trader Joe’s. Sadly I’d been waiting all year for those pumpkin waffles and they were part of the recall.
We also had our friends over for dinner and Chef Jon made some delicious enchiladas all from scratch.
What I’m reminiscing about: the fun of being a kid around Halloween and sorting all my candy on Halloween night
What I’m loving: our weather has been so good that now NY is on draught watch
Favorite post of the month: my Halloween apartment tour, I love when our apartment feels this cozy
What I’m Up to: I think I’ve got about ten different to do lists I’m working on
What I’m working on: organizing the thousands of pictures on my computer & moving them to my external hard drive
What I’m excited about: we did our maternity pictures in Central Park and I can’t wait to get the full gallery
What I’m watching/reading: Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Tell Me Lies, Abbott Elementary, Agatha All Along, and non-scary Halloween movies like It’s A Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Hubie Halloween, and Hocus Pocus
Books I read this month:
- Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan
- Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
What I’m doing this weekend: putting the nursery together & attending our friends apartment warming party
What I’m looking forward to next month: all the Christmas decorations and holiday cheer, although I’m not sure how much I’ll actually be able to see this year
What are you looking forward to in November?
