Cozy Days







 Hi everyone! We've been having the most gorgeous weather lately. It's been sunny for days and while the days have been a bit warm, it cools off nicely at night - perfect sleeping weather. Really the perfect weather if you ask me. How's the weather where you are? 

Let's see... what have we been up to - homeschooling, lots of walks outside every opportunity we get, buying gorgeous dahlias from the farmers market, making lots of cappuccinos and cups of hot tea, decorating the porch for fall, taking a trip to the mountains over the weekend, and spending lots of time in the kitchen for me. It's honestly my happy place and with so much going on in the world right now I'm finding I want to spend even more time there. It's so relaxing and comforting to me. I made our favorite lasagna for dinner tonight and a batch of pumpkin muffins with a cinnamon glaze to have for snacks and breakfast. They are perfect alongside a cup of coffee. I'm looking forward to having one in the morning! 

I have to admit I've already jumped on the Hallmark Christmas movie train. Hallmark began airing Christmas movies last Friday and I couldn't wait to start watching. Although I'm not at all ready to decorate for Christmas anytime soon, I'm beginning to get excited about it. What about you? Are you beginning to think of Christmas or are you in full fall mode?

Hope you are having a cozy day!

  1. It looks like you've got some beautiful autumnal weather there. It's been rain and more rain here just lately with flooding in some parts of the UK. I haven't really started thinking about Christmas yet, though my son and his partner are spending the festive season with her family in Colorado, so it will be just four of us for Christmas dinner this year. That lasagne looks delicious, as do the muffins.

  2. Hello! Beautul photos! The weather here has also been lovely, warm and sunny, but cool at night. Wish I could pop over for a cappuccino and a muffin. Both look delicious!

  3. Hi Julia, you have been busy! Your photos look lovely and reflect how cosy your house is. The weather here is not so good. We had the tail end of cyclone Lola hitting us yesterday with 130 km/hour winds. It has improved today with just rain now and it is a bit windy still. I have started buying my Christmas gifts, though I haven't thought of what to give everyone. I planned Christmas Eve dinner yesterday and made a list of food supplies that I can buy ahead of time to spread the cost a little. Cappuccino and pumpkin muffins sound great for breakfast!
