7 Things to Smile About Right Now

1. The fact that you can still wear your absolute favorite summer dress just one more time (even if this past weekend was the last)

2. That running outside is pleasurable yet again, especially with the scenic fall leaves & wind blowing in your hair

3. Pumpkin everything. Have you tried adding it to your oatmeal yet? If not, I highly suggest you do.

4. The fact that candy corn was on sale for .89 cents the other day at CVS, reminding you that it’s OK enjoy a handful here and there (and to act like a kid again)

5. Hayrides, hot cocoa, cornstalks and apple cider everywhere

6. The discovery that adding a few chocolate chips to your coffee & then stirring = pure bliss.

7. Fall vegetables. Hello acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash. Try one of my favorite ways with butternut squash here.

What’s got you grinning from ear to ear?

XoXo,

    Oooh, I love the idea of putting pumpkin (maybe a dollop of organic canned pumpkin) into my oatmeal! Maybe add a little sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon and a drizzle of agave nectar or a spoonful of raw honey. Wow…I’m going to try this out this week. Thanks for the awesome suggestion!

    I love this time of year for doing yoga outside. The leaves rustling in the breeze, the slight crispness in the air and the way the air smells kinda like a campfire…all makes for an amazing yoga session. 🙂

    Thanks Ashley! Yes, I love adding a little agave nectar, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg to my oatmeal, maybe a little ground flax as well for extra nutrients and crunch. Can’t go wrong with pecans & walnuts too to jazz it up!

    Loving the outdoors yoga idea!
