Octcurrently

waking to foggy mornings.

finishing Newsroom season one.

watching Scandal season three and still totally obsessed.

loving this blog post…"you're a good mama."

and appreciating the honesty and truth in this one.

packing up calendar orders as quickly as possible.

keeping the US Postal Service in business.

hunting for the perfect t-shirt.

planning on using this photo frame for fun Christmas decor.

looking forward to working my way through the projects this book.

anticipating a very busy November.

working on saying "No" to some things to say "Yes" to others.

having hardwood floors installed in the office.

hoping to see some of you at the Queen Bee Market next week.

feeling full in a good way.

cheering on three sweet friends who are expecting babies.

listening to podcasts as we walk around the neighborhood.

brainstorming on a new idea.

turning Ellerie into a flamingo for Halloween.

flying up to Northern California today to see family and attend another wedding.

    Check out Everlane (www.everlane.com). Their v-necks are GREAT. Not too long or too short. Not too baggy or too tight. Not too low or too high. Basically the Goldilocks of v-neck t-shirts. (No – I’m not affiliated with them, just an obsessed customer.)

    I’m addicted to scandal, just finished season 1 and 2 on Netflix and catching up on season 3. I don’t know how I didn’t watch it sooner!
    Have fun on your trip!

    FLAMINGOS!!! We were in San Diego this past summer for vacation…..my “souvenier” was a small pink flamingo made of beads…..I just feel in love with them (there are so many!) at the San Diego Zoo.

    You’re a good mama too Elise! How I wish someone had ever said that to me when my kids were little in public. It would have made the world of difference – and I am totally going to make a point of saying it to the next mama I see struggling with her child.

    It’s so fun to watch Ellerie grow and fill out! She’s so round and perfect-she is at a wonderful age. I can’t wait to see her in her costume.
