Traveling

We went to Portland, Oregon last month and I am sharing a few pictures.

Below is a picture of the Rose Garden.  This rose garden is one of a handful of international test rose gardens in the world.  We love buying sandwiches at a place called Elephant’s Deli and bringing them to the Rose Garden for a picnic!

Driving through the Willamette valley, a field of ranunculus was growing! 

Below are pictures from our hike at Silver Falls State Park.

Bought

I bought this Dyson V8 absolute cordless vacuum last month and I love it!  It is so handy for using around the house.  We have lots of little spiders ( gross, I know!) that like to hang out along the baseboards and frankly it was a huge hassle trying to vacuum them up.  With this vacuum, I can easily walk around the house and suck up the little bugs and I’m done in a few seconds.  Plus, I was able to vacuum the cat hair off the couch.. it cleaned it so well in only a few seconds. Was it cheap, no. I did get it for $100 off, I don’t know I guess there was a special or something.  Either way, I loooooove it.

Want

Hmm, what do I want??? How about a red leather bag… hey, a girl can dream right?

Fall is starting to pop up here and there.  I’ve updated my shop with Fall finds and have also included them here… many of these are also on my wishlist!

Wearing

I am wearing these slides below. I got them in a rose gold though. They are from Ugg and they are so comfy!! The sole is leather and is so soft. I love them!  I wear Ugg slippers around the house in the colder months and now I wear these around the house in the warmer months!

Reading

When Life Gives You LuLuLemons – by the author of the Devil Wears Prada, this book follows Miranda Priestley’s other assistant, Emily.  A fun book to read while at the pool or beach!

Game of Thrones book 3 – Yep, still reading this book… slowly.  I savor these books because I know when I’m done there are no more so every once in a while I will read a chapter or two.

Watching

G.L.O.W. – A show on Netflix, it is about actresses who try out for a show about ladies who wrestle. A comedy.

Insatiable – Also a show on Netflix, it is about a previous fat girl who loses weight and enters into a beauty pageant. A comedy.

Eating

We have fired up our pizza oven and this was the first pizza to come out of it!  A potato pizza.  I know, potatoes on a pizza, right?! Well, before you diss it, try it because it is delicious!!!  The recipe is here (oh boy, I look at my old blog posts and cringe… photography and lighting, not so great, oh well).

I made pumpkin bread… and I’d share the recipe, except I forgot which one I used!!!
