sunday morning musings (032/033)

UM hi, long time no talk!! My apologies for my radio silence here the last few weeks but… we got a puppy!!!!! Well, my parents got a puppy, which means I in turn, also got a puppy. She is the cutest thing ever, as you can see. And she is amazing. Her name is Quinn and you will certainly be ...

sunday morning musings (031)

This entire week was a blur!!! In my head it’s split up into BTE and ATE – Before the Election and After the Election. Why did we not think the election would go on for DAYS with the way 2020 has been going?! Thankful to be on the other side of it FINALLY. Also, we VOTED!! …and then ...

october 2020 things

Happy November! Another month down and another month closer to the end of the wildest year of our lives. October was a good one! I crossed some things off the seasonal bucket list, baked a lotttttt of delicious things, and celebrated some of my favorite people. And the most exciting thing, we booked ...

sunday morning musings (030)

Can’t believe Sunday Morning Musings is 30 weeks old! This year is seriously just flying by. I made a couple loaves of banana bread this week and the smell of them baking in the house was an immediate flashback to March and baking banana bread like every week. I wonder if the smell of banana ...

sunday morning musings (029)

What Kind of Friend Are You, According to Meyers-Briggs. This article absolutely nailed it for me. How about you? I did a thing this week and bought a new lens for my camera. I have to say there seriously is nothing more exciting than getting new camera gear. I geek out over it so hard!!! Lately ...

the 2020 pumpkin beer taste-a-thon

Back with another seasonal cocktail (ok it’s just beer, but humor me) tasting! Although I’m not someone who loves all things pumpkin spice, I do really love a pumpkin beer in the fall. Nothing beats a cold one with the cinnamon sugared rim. I had big plans for this post, but to be ...

sunday morning musings (028)

I SO enjoyed our rainy Monday this week. Totally embraced the gray skies and spent the day being lazy, watching YouTube and making vodka sauce for dinner. Every once in a while you just need those days, and we were certainly overdue for one. We started Friday Night Lights (my first time, Ry’s ...

a fall 2020 bucket list

Well, fall is officially underway. As someone who always has big dreams for this time of the year (and rarely accomplishes them,) I decided this year I’d really go for it and make an actual list. When I wrote my summer bucket list, I never imagined I would cross off nearly everything on it, so ...

sunday morning musings (027)

Went to meet with a bunch of wedding photographers with Lynds this week and am now considering changing my entire career. Not actually, but maybe?! I re-potted a bunch of my plants on Wednesday this week and it was so much more labor intensive than I ever could have imagined. There was dirt ...

september 2020 things

Happy October – I’m not gonna say that I can’t believe it, but I can’t believe it! I was talking to Mom a few days ago about how we should make homemade pasta for Christmas this year, which turned into talking about pierogis and she had said it’s almost time to make them. And ...
