Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas!!

I just had a wonderful evening filled with lots of baking and eating. My favourite. Here are a few snap shots of the tree and a cute little present. I love the wrapping paper.

My first time taking a picture of the Tree with the pretty blurred effect also known as Bokeh. I like it and hope to take more cute pictures like this in the Future. I also hope to post more often but refuse to feel guilty that I am not.

Anyways I hope all you of have the Happiest of Christmases and eat lots of treats...I sure am. :)

Apple picking and pumpkin saving

One of the very first things I have crossed off my list is apple picking and boy was it a beautiful day to go. The trees just started to change colours and the weather was still warm enough to go without a coat.

GIant Jack O'Lattern

My little brother ran into the pumpkin field to "SAVE ALL THE PUMPKINS". Let me tell you this boy is obsessed with pumpkins and from the middle of September until January that is all he talks about. Yes his obsession with pumpkin beats his love for Santa.

My Pumpkin and what I wore.

Little white one

We had a good day and bought loads and loads of apples for baking and pumpkins for pumpkin jam. I've been working a lot lately and that has been consuming my time on top of school, but I am trying my best to take the season in and enjoy every moment without worrying about what I haven't done yet while doing something that I wanted to do.....(does this sentence even make sense) Oh well

On a completely different note but related to October and its awesomeness. I have been super busy building my Halloween costume. The bestest day of Fall. I am going to be a LIGHTHOUSE. Yup it is epic and yes I am that weird. :)

Fall Goals

Fall is here and I already feel like it is coming and going to fast. So before I get anxious about not doing the things I want to do this season, I wrote everything down on a list that I will continue to add too. Last year I missed out on my favourite season so this year I want to make sure I make the best of it.

Starting with the most fantastic coffee mug. I think I am going to pinch myself over and over for not buying more of these mugs when I had the chance, even more pinching because I had (and have) a Starbucks employee discount. BOO! They haven't been releasing cute seasonal mugs like this lately so I will forever regret not buying several more. On a side note I went on ebay to see if I could snatch up a few and they were selling them for $55....craziness.

FALL 2012 GOALS

Lots of BAKING!!!

I love to bake, I bake for pleasure and I honestly enjoy baking. I stress bake and it really does wonders to my mood, except when someone puts away my measuring cups all wrong and I swear I feel like the Hulk. Don't touch my measuring cups. You have been warned.

Drink lots and lots of Tea.

Lately all I want is tea. I drink my morning coffee and for the rest of the day I want tea which for me is really weird considering I was a huge coffee junkee and now the thought of a latte is not as appetizing unless I am with someone special and can actually throughly enjoy drinking it over good conversation.
My Favourite tea right now is Toasted Walnut from Davids Tea. It is Fall and winter in a mug. Seriously go and try it.

Take lots of Pictures

I have a new camera and I intend to not only use it for school but to take pretty pictures...well hopefully.

Apple Picking and Hazelnut Picking

A seasonal favourite, its that time again when my family goes out to the farms and gather the food we will need for the next 2 seasons. Apple picking and Hazelnut picking outings are my favourite because we usually stop and get Krispy Kreme coffee and their coffee is the bomb. Love it.

Pumpkin Jam

Not to brag or anything but my mom and I make the best Pumpkin Jam ever. So good.

Stanley Park Walk

Stanley park is so beautiful this time of year and all you need is someone special and something to keep you warm and you are guaranteed a good day.

Well this is the list so far, I felt like I need to write this down and it feels good to have something like this so I can look back at it sometime in the future.

:)
I have an actual baking list too but it is huge.

Lovely Things - Cozy Sweaters

Another Lovely Things List. This week Sweaters, lots of cozy sweaters. With the crisp autumn air approaching I am craving cozy knit cardigans and sweaters. Last year I was on a bit of a cozy turtleneck phase, but this year I want to add 50s cardigans and cute pullovers to my wardrobe. I find that I tend to have a way easier time spending my budget on dresses than on basics. So today I am on the hunt for cardigans and such, but if I come home empty handed Im sure some of these will make their way to my closet.
