five friday favorites

I can't believe I'm finally back to posting two days in a row! It's a miracle, haha. I've been in sort of a meloncholy mood and reading so much my eyes are burning and raw. But my laptop has been calling, to me, as I knew it would at some point, and so here I am.

I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you from this week. Next week I'll be focusing on Thanksgiving favorites, and then the week after and for the entire month of December I'm pretty sure it will be all Christmas posts, all the time. You've been warned! :)

ONE | FAVORITE PHOTO

Before it snowed, my parents came out for an afternoon walk and dinner. 

I love this picture Steve snuck of me and my mom talking while Riggs walks with us.

TWO | FAVORITE COLOR 

I love this Essie nail color called 'carry on' so much. It's perfect

for fall with it's dark, rich hue and warm colors always help to warm

up my pasty skin :)

THREE | FAVORITE RECIPE

Peanut Butter Rice Crispie Ball.

Need I say more?

FOUR | FAVORITE PASTIME

Reading these books (or actually re-reading them). 

I have been reading every spare moment I have reading, thinking

about potential plots as I drift off to sleep and dreaming about 

the characters nearly every night. I don't know why but I really love

these books. Maybe because the characters are so real and no one is

one hundred percent good, they're all a little flawed.

I'll probably have to re-read them again before the final book comes out...

FIVE | THESE WORDS

I saw this yesterday on someone's Facebook and went on Pinterest

to find it and pin it. So very true and something to keep in mind if you're

a non-parent judging other parents. We've all been there, right?

I remember when I was pregnant, making lists of things I would 'never'

do once Riggs was born. Ha. Hahahaha.
