hello october 2016

Oh hey y'all! I'm kicking off October in Texas & Oklahoma…combining a visit with my family and some work appts. Facing down the last quarter of the year seems impossible! Let's start with a few hellos…

hello vacation planning. Fall & winter trips on the calendar…need flights, hotels, and details sorted. 

hello paleo eating (sort of. sometimes.). I do well with fairly black & white guidelines around eating (ie…I don't eat meat. There's nothing to interpret there). Post-Whole 30, I'm trying to figure out what 80/20 Paleo looks like in a functional way. 

hello 20. Austin leaves his teenage years behind tomorrow. What??

hello fall routines. Dan & I got a little dizzy looking at our calendars for the next few months. Time for a few routines to balance the chaos. I'm so grateful that he is a true partner…always the first to say "let me handle that, babe." 

hello new capsule wardrobe. I picked up a new pair of boots, refreshed all my black leggings, and added a new sweater. I need to round out with a few additional items. I've taken a break from Stitch Fix for a bit, mostly b/c the selections were hit & miss for me. 

hello family. I'm often able to combine business & pleasure when I travel. I spent this past weekend in OK/TX visiting with my brother, parents, aunt & uncle, and cousins. Tomorrow night, I'll have dinner with two of my oldest & dearest friends. Good stuff. 

hello details. Changing banks has to be one of the most annoying parts of adulting. Switching auto-payments, direct deposits, saved accounts, etc. Ugh. 

What are you saying hello to this month?
