watching the stack of books on my nightstand grow thanks to your recommendations.

loving season nine of How I Met Your Mother – they seem to be going out in high-style.

planning our Thanksgiving meal.

still searching for the perfect dessert recipe.

walking on our new office floor (update coming soon!).

enjoying this "everyday icons" interview series.

ordering our Christmas cards.

wanting bake some of my favorite breads.

buying apples by the bushel.

playing on the ground with Ellerie.

drinking tea again – hooray!

marveling at the crazy arm workout that comes with carrying a kiddo around.

shopping for hanging planters for the office.

working on my lesson plan for the Big Picture Play! event.

clearing my closet down to the bare bones.

looking forward to a visit from my dad next weekend – we've got office storage to build.

wishing you a happy Wednesday.

    First comment?! 🙂 Woot!
    That article about being a new mom is really good! Applicable to other big life changes too, like moving in with someone or starting school. I’m excited for you that your office is coming together and I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

    5 months already?!? Crazy!
    She’s so adorable, I love the photos. I came across this and thought of you, http://sweetmadeleine.ca/2013/10/14/here-are-some-lies-people-tell-you-about-infant-sleep/ It seems to be similar to your parenting style.
    I love the links from today.
    Thanks,

    I picked up the book Night Circus after your post about reading a few days ago. So loving it and don’t want it to end. Thanks for the recommendation!

    a) Your arms look awesome. Must be all that baby-toting!
    b) A big closet purge is definitely on my winter to-do list. I have so many clothes taking up space that I don’t wear or that don’t fit me anymore.
    c) Can’t wait to peruse the comments on your books post to get some more book suggestions!

    i’m one of those moms that nursed, rocked & did everything wrong when it came to sleep training. and you know what? my son is 5 & sleeping just fine & has been for a long time 🙂 it’s such a short time & i miss it so much. i think as mommas we need to do what is right for you & your own baby. so much emphasis is put on “how you should do it” and how you should do it is not right for everyone 🙂

    Definitely feeling this list today. We’re eating Summer’s chicken chili too and it IS amazing. I’m loving the inspired interviews and I’m catching up on some on the Everygirl too. Getting ready to letterpress print Christmas cards (!) and clearing out my closet too! Wednesday high five!

    This is a favorite recipe of mine! Not much to look at if you make the bars, but I think you could bake this in a spring-form pan and it would look lovely. It tastes amazing!

    A dessert we love for festive meals – thin orange slices topped with chopped dates and drizzled with grand manier. Easy, absolutely delicious and a somewhat light finale to a grand menu. Come to think of it, this totally sounds like a regional recipe from California to my German ears! Maybe it can be of some inspiration 🙂
