This year my family masked up and headed to Fulk Farms to pick out our Christmas trees! Kaldi joined us and we loved walking though all the trees. Dale and I finally picked a tree that was the right size for our living room (not too small this year!) and I love how people driving down our street can see it through the front window. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?
November Around The Web
Hello, friends! I hope you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving safely with your families/friends. We ended up having a small outdoor celebration and I’m really grateful we had warm November weather! This month we made the most of some warm weekends with bike rides and dinner outdoors and I actually did a lot of online Christmas shopping. It felt good to get a jumps start – I even put up our decorations before Thanksgiving this year for the first time ever!
I am waiting for my new iPhone to arrive and would love to get one of these phone cases with Jamie’s photography!
Have you interviewed your parents or grandparents about their lives?
We tried these Brussels sprouts and this soup this month. Both were delicious!
Adding these documentaries to my list!
I’ve also been reading a lot lately! Looking forward to reading some of these as they come out.
I’m always fascinated by families who downsize or choose to live in smaller homes. Some great tips even for our home!
Daydreaming about a big European trip… someday!
Grateful we will soon see the first female Vice President inaugurated (and Joe Biden of course!).
Embracing Gratitude Today!
Fall Leaves
We are having a pretty beautiful Fall/start to Winter here in Kansas City! I took a quick walk around my yard to capture some of the YELLOW leaves on my neighbor’s tree and was just in time because the next day they were gone. Feeling grateful for the change in season and all the colorful views!

October Around the Web
Happy Halloween, friends! This October was extra special because we were able to celebrate my sister Sophie’s engagement, she found her wedding dress and she had a birthday! Dale also turned 29 this month and despite being on a busy rotation at work we celebrated with Minsky’s and a fire pit night. We also fit in lots of traditional October things with a visit to Weston to pick apples and pumpkins, we went to Louisberg Cider Mill and watched both the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates on our outdoor projector. Last night we topped it all off by watching Hocus Pocus with a few friends. We’ve made the most of this extra strange spooky season! Here are a few of my favorite’s this month:
My dream bathroom from Sarah Sherman Samuel! Saving for someday…
