Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Shoe Advice

We are headed to a wedding this weekend and I couldn't be more excited. I have a fun red dress picked out, but now I need help with my shoes. Assuming the weather is cool enough I'm planning on wearing black tights. But which shoes?? Which of these three would you wear?

probably my favorite, but is sandals with tights a thing?

Some oldies, but goodies

Plain jane (obvi), but suuuuuper comfy.

Advice, please!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies

One of my friends pinned this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe on Pinterest last week and I had been craving it since. I saw the recipe soon after making apple crisp so I had to finish that first :) Last night I decided I had had enough apple crisp and decided to make the brownies. I was not disappointed. The flavor was delicious. I will say the texture was a bit unique, almost rubbery. They were still super tasty, especially hot. I think the texture was due to the fact that I substituted applesauce for the egg. Also, pumpkin in baked goods tends to result in a different texture in general. So, I would highly recommend these! Head here for the recipe.

ps. As I am writing this, I am using some of the leftover pumpkin in a bowl of warm oatmeal. Tasty!

Well, it's official.

This moving thing is really happening. That up there is our new little cutie house. Chris took care of our living situation last week. Today we booked the moving company, car transportation company and our one-way flights. Our stuff will ship out two weeks from today. We will fly out three weeks from yesterday. It's hard to believe it's all coming together so smoothly. We really are moving to other coast! Right now I'm mostly just feeling relieved that the details are working out. I have a feeling the sadness will hit me once we actually are out there.

Apple Picking.

Last week, I told you I was hoping to go apple picking. While the weather wasn't what my apple picking dreams are made of, it was nice enough outside to make the trip. We had a wonderful day as a family. A peaceful drive through the foliage, hearing the endless laughter of little ones on field trips and watching Meredith go to town on a whole apple were the highlights. Oh, and of course warm apple cider donuts. Here are some pictures and another little video of our day.

ps. best picture ever? i think so.

Happy Saturday!

We are off on a mommy-daughter adventure today. I'm taking Meredith to a museum I went to with my little Kinders. I am so looking forward to seeing it through her eyes. I'm also excited just to be out and about soaking up sunshine and the warm, fall air. I hope you enjoy your Saturday. Hugs!
