Failure to Blog

Well aren't I just the most delinquent little blogger in all the land.  I finally commit and then disappear.  No excuses, just life.  If anyone's still with me, or joining in, please accept my humble, harried housewife apologies!  We've been up to a million things!

Over the past few months, we have....

• listed our house for sale (any takers?  Bueller?)...upward and onward!
• found a gazillion new houses I love and want.  Like now.
• cleaned out our said house and have been keeping it in show-ready style on the regular.
• had a "girls weekend" kind of summer with little Miss L....the two of us did the Midwest (Chicago is my kinda town!), the kinda south (I dig Nashville), and the west coast (Viva Las Vegas!)....lovin' the Mr. for letting us skip town for so many random events and letting me enjoy the newfound freedoms of stay-at-home-mama, I-don't-need-to-worry-about-vacation-days hood!
• painted. and painted. and painted.  And then painted some more.
• vacation planned!  (Off to the DR we go, come November!)
• had a million park picnics, neighborhood walks, nature trail hikes, Starbucks breakfast dates, and library story times with Miss L
• thoroughly enjoyed summer!  Now onto fall...

Well, the pumpkins and hay bales are out on the front porch, the pumpkin spice coffee is brewing each morning, our sweaters and boots are out, and I've been Pinterest-ing the heck out of holiday ideas.  I love fall!

What are your favorite fall traditions?  Any special plans for the upcoming holidays?
