Welcome Fall!

Hello all! I've clearly been MIA as life has been a bit hectic as of recent. I've been deep cleaning every ounce of our home (including our garage which is typically Adam's job). I have donated such an incredible amount of our belongings! It feels absolutely great! I had been wanting to do so while I was in school, yet had very little "free" time, & when I did, I wanted to spend it with my boys!



While Fall doesn't "officially" begin until September 22nd, it has begun in our home! September has always been one of my favorite months as it's the month that my grandma was born! In fact, when we were trying to conceive, I hoped that we would have a little one due in September. If we would have had a girl, her name would have been Sophia Caroline, after my grandma Carol.

Have you seen Starbucks PSL (pumpkin spice latte) pumpkin hatch on their Facebook page? It's adorable! This morning, the pumpkin was performing yoga. You'll have to check it out! Sadly, my PSL intake will be limited this Fall as I'm going strong on my diet!

Oh how I miss the changing leaves in Oregon! Yet again, here's another photo of my favorite bridge in Oregon. I have always been intrigued by the St. John's bridge, yet have no idea why.

My Fall table runner is in the same state as when I last posted. I've got approximately four or five of the sections sewn. I haven't had motivation to sew, and when I do, I'm too lazy to clear my sewing table! I've also been too lazy/tired to cross stitch, as it would consist of setting up my favorite lamp. The struggle is real!

One of our three guard dogs on duty. Otto enjoys barking at anything or anyone who dares to step foot into our cul-de-sac. Don't mind the junk to the left of the front door (outside), that was one of my many piles awaiting pick up from one of the thrift stores.

Why yes, that is a Mohawk that Otto's sporting! My darn husband requests this annually, and I absolutely hate it! Yet, I refuse to put Otto in my car to transport him to the groomers, so I suppose since Adam's willing to, I should be thankful!
