For the time being...

Via

As some of you may have noticed, my posts have been a little sporadic these past weeks. Blogging has become one of my favorite hobbies and I have so enjoyed being a part of the blogging community. I continue to meet so many wonderful women and am continually inspired by their passion and creativity. I love getting to share my life and this space has become the perfect place to do that. 

With that being said, I am in a blogging slump at the moment. I find myself feeling overwhelmed with my final quarter's classes, work, keeping up with friends, and thinking of fun and creative blog posts. So, as much as I love this little blog and the community that surrounds it, I am feeling the need to take a small step back for the next few weeks. 

No, I will definitely not be gone forever. In fact, I'm not leaving entirely. It just might be a little quiet around here for the time being while I complete the final steps to GRADUATING COLLEGE. 

I will still be posting and hopefully some of my wonderful sponsors will be sharing here as well! And I am hoping that I'll be back in a few weeks, full swing, and ready for the holiday season in blog land! 

Again, it has been a pleasure to be a part of this community. And you have no idea what your kind words and support means to me. 

Much Love, 

Weekend with Mama

My wonderful mother came up to visit me this weekend!

I was beginning to feel a little homesick, so it was such a treat to spend some time with her!

Our weekend began with a little shoe shopping...

Obviously, we both bought a pair.

Our weekend also included much chatting, board games, exploring, and LOTS of yummy food. Saying goodbye was hard, but it'll be a quick three weeks until Thanksgiving!!!

And now we have, once again, reached Monday. 

Two more midterms this week.

Will they ever end?

What did you do this weekend?

Much Love,

Ghosts of Halloween Past and Present

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

In honor of today, I decided to compile my past four years' Halloween costumes. 

Because what's more fun then taking a trip down memory lane? 

And so, here we begin...

Halloween 2009

This year's theme was superhero's. I'm pretty sure we called ourselves "The Fab Four".

CLASSIC. 

Halloween 2010

HUGE Glee fans in 2010. Like religiously watched every episode and listened to all their covers. So it was really the obvious choice when brainstorming Halloween costume ideas. And incase you can't tell, I'm pregnant Quinn. 

Halloween 2011

Luckily, our roommate happens to resemble Justin Bieber. 

I actually felt a little starstruck...

Halloween 2012

E.T. phone home. 

Now this one was a party HIT! If you're looking for a last minute costume idea, look no further. 

And so, there you have it.

Hope you are having a fabulous Halloween!

Much Love,

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

I don't know about you guys, but eating pumpkin seeds is one of my favorite parts of Halloween. Because, fresh pumpkins seeds are really only available once a year, at pumpkin carving time.

So, if you are planning on carving your pumpkin in the next couple days, SAVE THE SEEDS. And turn them into this delicious snack.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients:
Pumpkin Seeds (obvi)
Olive Oil
Salt
Garlic Powder

STEP 1: Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

STEP 2: Remove excess pumpkin guts from seeds and place them in a medium sized bowl. Add in desired amount of olive and stir until all seeds are lightly coated.

STEP 3: Spread a thin layer of seeds onto a baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle salt and garlic powder over seeds.

STEP 4: Bake seeds in oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring the seeds after about 10 minutes.

Bon Apetite!

Much Love,
