Do you ever have one of those hours, days or weeks, where there are just so many things swimming around in your brain that you’ve got to let some of them out?
Don’t be embarrassed if that happens to you daily, I think a lot of us are guilty of that. Well, I’ve decided to start sharing a few of things (hopefully filtering the boring bits) that are on my mind. I figure Saturday is the best time as any to get some thoughts out of our mind and make room for new ones!
—Jason and I watched this documentary on Netflix this past weekend and were swept away on a beautiful, wine-filled journey to France. The documentary really made me want to take Jason to France. I’ve been a few times, but he has never been. We were planning on going this year, but we ended up moving and using our money for that. Here’s to hoping that if our finances work out we can plan a trip for 2015! I’ve never been to the French countryside and would love to go (Jason even has family there), but we also wanted to visit London and Oxford. So many decisions!
—Life and eating is all about balance. Balancing the brownies with the kale, work with fun, exercise with Netflix binges. I really loved what this blogger had to say about not apologizing for splurging and eating “fatty” foods occasionally (warning: there’s a bit more language than I use, but I really like her point).
—It’s fall and while everyone is on their pumpkin latte trains, I’m excited to be trying out my first fall/pumpkin beers. So far, Harvest Time from Big Boss Brewing (right here in Raleigh) is a winner! Full of spices, light and perfect for the changing seasons…and they even sell it individually at Trader Joe’s! Also, tea! Trader Joe’s has a wonderful fall-inspired Harvest Blend Herbal Tea. If you’re into tea, read about how a love of tea and the origins of the word spread around the world!
What’s on your mind this weekend? Any trips you’re planning or new beverages you’re drinking?
