2. Your favorite fall fabric-denim, flannel, tweed, corduroy, tartan, polar fleece, leather? Do you own something made with your favorite fall fabric?
Sweatshirts would be my favorite fall fabric!
3. According to Everyday Health here are ten healthy fall foods- apples (flavonoids may improve brain health), pears (for heart friendly fiber), cranberries (helps your body fight oxidative stress) winter squash (for eye health), pumpkin (another great source of Vitamin A), leeks (an anti-inflammatory food), brussel sprouts (full of fiber and anti-oxidants), sweet potatoes (loaded with Vit A and C), parsnips (keep your bones healthy with Vit K), and broccoli (may help prevent cancer).
How many on the list do you eat on a regular basis? Which one is your favorite? Which one gets a big no thanks from you?
I eat apples on a regular basis. I also like squash, pumpkin (in bread :)), brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and broccoli. No thanks to pears, parsnips and leeks.
4. Tell us about the last time (or a recent time) you experienced a wave of nostalgia?
I was at Dollywood this week and it reminded me of when our family went there 11 years ago. I was thankful to have a fun day with my oldest daughter this time.
5. Sept. 22nd was National Daughter's Day. Like mother, like daughter...does this idiom ring true for you? You may answer in terms of your own role as a daughter or, if you have daughters, then your role as a mother of daughters.
Well, I had no idea it was national daughter's day. My daughters are my lifeline. I love them with all that I am. Each of them are like me in different ways.
I am going to transfer into What's Up Wednesday for all my random thoughts!
What I'm eating this week........
I skipped dinner Sunday night because I ate so much over the weekend!
Monday, I had a smoothie after a day at Dollywood.
Tuesday's dinner was frozen yogurt and a quest bar. My day started though with a brisket egg taco from Buc-ees!
I spent the 6 days traveling and I so enjoyed the time away!
Here is part 1 of that recap...
What I'm dreading.........
I still have some hard conversations to be had soon and some upcoming legal things over two different cases. Life is hard right now.
What I'm working on.........
I am catching up on work after being off a few days. I am thankful for the flexibility to be off work though and be able to go on a trip.
What I'm excited about.........
I have a few things on the calendar the next week, so that is good for me. I enjoy a little time at home, but I'm excited for things to do too.
What I'm watching/reading.........
I started watching the Golden Bachelorette last week. Yes, I did. I am trying to catch up on Only Murders in the Building and Emily in Paris. I also just started watching season 2 of The Old Man.
I am behind in reading. I went on a 6 hour trip and honestly had no down time to read.
What I'm listening to..........
I got caught up on all my podcasts while traveling and am listening to my playlist called " Serenity". It is a good calming playlist for night.
What I'm wearing...........
Today I am wearing this new outfit from Amazon. It is so comfy!
I hope to hang out with Jennifer at some point and go to my great niece's soccer game.
What I'm looking forward to next month.......
My youngest daughter is flying home for a weekend visit!
Have a great day!
Loved your answers and yes to sweatshirts! I now have two that are soooo soft that make me not want to wear the other couple I have.
ReplyDeleteYay to your recent travel and boo to your legal stuff this week, but I know you will feel better when you get it behind you. You are stronger than you know and look at all you've done! If I were in your town, I would definitely take you to happy hour to celebrate!
Happy hour sounds so fun! Wish we all lived a little closer! thanks!
DeleteI am sorry you're going through a tough season including legal issues. On a superficial topic, I like the outfit that you bought from Amazon. If you get a chance, snap a picture and share with the world (if you want to :)). Love the pictures of you and your girls. I'll bet Dollywood was fun! I have never been but want to go. Have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI will try to get a picture to share! It's rare I take outfit selfies :). Yes, Dollywood was so fun with my daughter. You too!
DeleteI am glad you made it home safe and sound after a wonderful, much deserved trip! I wholeheartedly agree about the sweatshirt material; I didn't put that, but I should have. Interestingly enough I also mentioned how my sons are my lifeline right now as well; it's funny that we both used that exact word. I'll be so glad to see you this weekend, I've missed you! I love that outfit and think you should do what Maria said and take a picture of you in it. Let me know about the court thing on Friday! Much love to you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHa, that is so neat how we used the same word! Yes, looking forward to the weekend. I will need a hug Friday night!
DeleteI didn't know it was National Daughter's Day and I was with my daughter that day! I hope all goes well with the hard things you have going on.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I didn't realize it was either.
DeleteI eat apples nearly every day, too! One of my favorite foods!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the cooler weather also. Yeah Fall!
ReplyDeleteSame!
DeleteHoodies are my favorite too. Love your new outfit! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy!
DeleteSweatshirts are my favorites too! We eat a lot of apples too; in fact I just went to the orchard this afternoon to buy a few bags of apples.
ReplyDeleteI am to the point now I have to refrain from cute sweatshirts. I have purchased 2 this year, which seems like a lot with what I already have. How fun!
DeleteCute outfit! I love the color for fall! We liked the first season of The Old Man, and will start the second season once we're back home. I will be thinking of you as you work out legal issues and tough conversations. Daughters are a blessing for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks and I appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
DeleteI will forever miss Bucees & easy access to froyo haha. When I visited Houston earlier this month froyo was one of my first stops.
