Bought

I haven’t purchased that many things recently, knowing that Christmas is coming… I try to save things to buy for my Christmas list since we love opening presents.

I did purchased this grapevine deer head which I’ll use on my nature woodland tree this year as a tree topper.

I also liked how they did the tree topper on this tree!

Eating

Our outdoor pizza oven is fully operational now (I said that like Admiral Ackbar,the Death Star is fully operational!” Okay I’ll hide my Star Wars nerd again).  We have been eating pizzas since August.  Here is a look at what we’ve made

my favorite, a potato, onion, parsnip and rosemary pizza.  Recipe courtesy of yours truly.

Herb garden zucchini pizza, recipe from Love and Lemons.

This is a classic Italian pizza – mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil and tomatoes.  

This is a vegetable pizza – spinach, sautéed mushrooms, roasted and marinated red peppers, red onion, provolone and parmesan cheese.

This is a simple salad I made – just took a salad mix from costco (a blue cheese with dried cherry one that had kale and other greens) and added some freshly chopped pears. It was delicious!

Want

Blair at Atlantic Pacific has created a collection of clothes exclusively at Nordstrom that drops today! And I’m obsessed! I’d put pictures into the “bought” category… except the clothing line literally just dropped this morning so I haven’t bought anything!

I want so many of these!! Shop the collection here.

One King’s Lane related their Holiday Collection this weekend!! Oh it is SO MUCH FUN to browse through it.  I highlighted a few things here.   Try using the codes OKLPREFALL (25% off) or OKL20CARD (20% off).

Reading

I started the Throne of Glass series – “The story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupted kingdom with a tyrannical ruler. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures.” – Wikipedia.  If you liked the Hunger Games, you will likely enjoy this series.

Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven – a new magical book involving the tales of Harley Merlin. A fantasy book with a potteresque feel.  If you liked Harry Potter, you’ll like these books too.

Watching

The Norsemen – on Netflix.  It is like Game of Thrones meets the Monty Python.  You have to have a certain sense of humor to enjoy this show – I was crying at times from laughing!

Once Upon a Time – on Netflix. This show was on ABC and just finished in 2017.  I can now binge watch it and am on Season 4.  It is about what happened if the Evil Queen had the happy ending. If you are a fan of Disney characters and fairytales, you’ll enjoy this show.

The Romanoffs – on Amazon Prime. Just started this show this weekend. The episodes are 1.5 hours long, so basically mini movies.  It follows the lives of the the descendants of the Russian Royal family.

What Else?

Also, I’ve updated my curated shop of favorites with lots of new items – be sure to check it out!

I’ve also started doing a new Tabata Training program on my Peloton Bike (you can read a full review here).
