the monday tradition

Taylor and I recently started a tradition of Monday date nights. It was his idea of beginning the work week with something fun and not having to worry about cooking! I have to say the past month has been really fun. We've already had pizza, sandwiches, BBQ and Mexican with the goal of a new place every week.

While we usually just relax and catch up on the day, I am hoping the time will transform into discussing the deeper and fun questions like, "Where do you see our family in ten years?" or "What would be your dream career?"

Do you and your mate have any weekly traditions?

It's November 13th and I've only had one other post this month. One. Shame on me and tsks tsks all around. Here's to hoping I can crank out the recent home updates, holiday meals and crafts inspiration! In the mean time, let's have some girl talk, shall we?

Taylor and I have been feeling under the weather this week and I just can't bring myself to pump out the creative posts. Perhaps you know the feeling? My plan is to rest up as much as possible over the weekend so that I'm ready for next week's crazy work schedule.

Today I'd just thought I'd share a little pumpkin love inspired by the top photo. Chevron might be almost over done, but it still has a classy look no matter where it pops up- even on your front steps!

Special thanks to Lauren for her help on this one :) Can you believe it is November? Where has the year gone?!
