happy october 1st!  where has this year gone?  i love october for so many reasons: i love fall; it's a great excuse to get out of the southern californian heat and drive up to the mountains to see some season change or fly across the country to new england.  i love disneyland and how they decorate everything halloween- i love halloween.  i love buying cinnamon and pumpkin scented everything.  i love baking fun fall-like dishes.  i love lazy football sundays and crockpot cooking.  And of course, most importantly, i love that jeff and i get to celebrate our wedding anniversary.  

currently on my october to-do list:

go apple picking (source) // bake pumpkin donuts (source) // go off the grid, yosemite camping (source) // make a yummy harvest trail mix (source) // head east for fall = our anniversary // get crafty (source)

| reflecting + getaway |

+ the cutest little print

i promise i won't get back into falling off the face of the earth due to work.  work has mentally drained me so late last week jeff and i went and bought a tent then a few days ago we bought ourselves stand up paddle boards.  both of these purchases will offer a getaway.  yesterday while i was paddling along the lagoon at sunset i felt so...as cheesy as it may sound...alive.  we separated ourselves from this crazy world; connected without technology and just enjoyed the moment.  We can't wait to take our tent to who knows where and just ground ourselves with nature and life.  I often times forget to take a step back to just be still and breathe.  So I'm sorry I haven't blogged in almost a week, love you guys and appreciate your support; I'm working on my balancing act. xxoo
