Thankful
Thanksgiving is a funny holiday. People get so amped up for days off from work and non-stop eating and watching tv..but they forget what it's really about. Last year we went around the table and said what we were thankful for and it got me thinking. This year I've tried to think at least once a day about what I'm thankful for..there's no sense in waiting until Thanksgiving to realize all the things in life that make us grateful.
Turkey Day attire
Something warm and loose for all the gobble gobble eating early in the day..and for naptime after :) Then something Thanksgiving chic to wear to the plaza lighting in the evening. Hopefully that dress wouldn't be too tight after a day of grazing.

Warms the Heart
As I was perusing my usual daily blogs I found a little post about this baby owl who was given a stuffed toy owl to feel less lonely. Such a sweet story with a fuzzy picture to go with.
In his five short weeks of life, Orbit hasn’t met many other owls.
So he isn’t at all worried that his new best friend doesn’t hoot back.
The orphaned chick is perfectly content in the company of the stuffed bird perched next to him and is never far from his side.
Orbit, a common barn owl, was given the toy by Lyndsey Wood, his carer at Folly Farm, near Narberth in West Wales.
She said: ‘A friend suggested that I find something like a toy owl to stop Orbit feeling lonely.
‘I thought he might try to eat it, but he just cuddles up to it and goes to sleep.’
It's that time
After a much needed relaxing weekend it's hard to shift my brain from crazy busy to the holidays but this cute little video from Kate Spade puts me in a festive mood. Being that I work in giftwrap I'm also liking this :)

Flat Ornaments
I'm loving the idea of giving flat ornaments as gifts to co-workers this season. How sweet are these?
Blue Cheese, apple, and walnuts...what a heavenly combo
I found this recipe for blue cheese, apple and walnut salad with a tasty dressing of maple syrup, dijon mustard and olive oil. While searching through the other recipes on this site I also found a tortilla pizza recipe with the same ingredients..oh my! If you've never tried you need to make a tortilla pizza it's super easy, just drizzle a little olive oil, add your favorite toppings, bake and voila! You have a delicious crispy thin crust personal pizza.
Life Lately...
The latest addition to our family, little Zoey. Watching the Mayors Christmas Tree go up from my office window, Middy not wanting to move from our house. Alas, the new apartment where she is adjusting just fine. My mom when we went thrifting for new furniture, look at the adorable purse she found, and the fun wooden bear statues that we passed up.

Move Me
This weekend marks my official move into my apartment. I'm so sad to let my cute little house go where I've had 3.5 years of memories but have to remind myself that this is a new start, with plenty more memorable moments to come.

ban.do Holiday
I've always had a crush on the cute accessories from ban.do. From the sparkly heart pin to the shoe clips they always have a great sense of style. The holiday collection just came out..think I need some pom hair barrettes to get into the holiday festivities mood!
It's now..November?
Where has the time gone?! Can not even believe it's already November. I am loving this fall weather though but who doesn't like pumpkin pie and apple crisp?
