Today I am celebrating Virginia’s very distinct seasons. I love Virginia in Autumn: the fallen leaves, fun scarves, tall boots, apple cider and puffer vests! It’s November in Virginia, huzzah! I swear this is one of the prettiest times of the year for this state! This past weekend I spent hours driving through our mountains, surrounded by bright orange and red trees. {Only to be chased away from the mountains and back to the beach by a few magnificent snow flurries on Sunday morning!}
I consider myself a lifestyle blogger. I blog because it is a really fun way to document my life. I love recipes, crafts and fashion just as much as the next blogger does… so much so that sometimes I feel like I forget to record my happenings. I forget to stop and archive the chronicles that are my life, not just the clean recipes I love to eat. So many of my fellow blogfriends do a great job of keeping a monthly record, but my favorite is Kelsey’s monthly post over at Sitting in our Tree. So I am going to borrow this idea from her, and begin documenting what I’m doing every single month.
So as the leaves and temperatures begin to fall here in the South, as the mums begin to wilt, and as the holiday decor begins to switch from burlap to glitter… I bring you November.
EATING — clean, paleo foods until the week of thanksgiving when I begin prep for my endoscopy.
DRINKING — orange le croix.
DRINKING — orange le croix.
PRACTICING — time blocking and sticking to my calendar. It’s a tough battle to fight.
MASTERING — saying NO to candy corns… the fact that Halloween has passed has helped with this…
LEARNING — all about designing and building a house
PLAYING -- this.sick.beat.
FINISHING — our to-do list on the current house in hopes of putting it on the market after turkey day!
PLANNING — a client appreciation gathering for my mom’s real estate business.
READING — magazines! for the first time in a very, very long time!
WATCHING — Gilmore Girls on Netflix AND cheesy Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. Don’t hate.
WALKING — through Target wayyyyy too often.
WEARING — leggings with boots that actually fit my calves! Hooray for target and their wide boots available online!
COOKING — more often, in hopes of saving money from eating out so frequently.
WORKING — zero more weddings until 2015! Hooray for an excellent 2014 wedding season!
TRAVELING — no where fun this month… although I wouldn’t be opposed to a trip to a winery… or to Switzerland.
WANTING — to really hunker down and get into shape before the year is over.
CELEBRATING — our first wedding anniversary on November 9 and then thanksgiving with both of our families, at my house!
