Currently {October}

Hey y'all,

I finally feel settled back in NC now that I have been home all week. I'm excited for a calmer weekend this weekend filled with B3 classes, a Trader Joe's run, teaching my Pre-K class at church, deep cleaning my place, and book club. Thank's Anne for the prompts even though I'm a few weeks late to the game.

Currently

wearing...It's finally Fall here in NC! This week I busted out my J.Crew vests to wear over sweaters for work on Friday and today. I have three-ivory, black, and pink. I am debating grabbing the navy, olive or wine color.

collecting...ideas for Christmas presents. Typically by mid-October my Christmas list is in its final stages. I know that sounds crazy but growing up, my family in California always needed ideas early so they could shop and mail items. Now the aunts no longer choose a cousin to purchase items for since we are all adults but I still try to finalize it early for my parents. Let me know if you have anything on your list!

making...tomato soup! This past weekend I made dairy free tomato soup and I have been enjoying it for lunches this week with either a salad or going to the cafe downstairs for a grilled cheese.

taking...lots of photos at the Fair! Last night, my small group from church and I headed to the North Carolina State Fair. It was a lot of fun and lots of fried foods. I had some ribbon fries (essentially homemade chips), a blooming onion, mini donuts, a cheeseburger, a sample hushpuppy, two fried oreos and that was it!

planning...a restful rest of October. With vacation and then a weekend filled with running around town, I am excited that this weekend is pretty low key and next weekend will be the same but with Dracula the ballet thrown into the mix.

What are you currently up to?

Best,
