On the mend, and a recap

Happy Thursday!  Thought I'd check in with the blogosphere after being somewhat under the weather the past few days.  I finally have a prescription filled, and hopefully I'll be on the mend soon.  
I think it's just the change of season/weather that has totally messed me up...congestion, sore throat, cough, and extreme exhaustion.  Oh and the worst part, is the loss of taste and smell.  I am soooo ready to start baking pumpkin and fall treats, and light my new autumn candles, but I figured it probably won't be worth it if I can't even taste or smell them!  Sad.    

Anywho, I'll leave you with a few pictures of the last week or so....I got some fun goodies, baked some treats for a bday party, made a DIY necklace, and also cooked up some wonderful fall soups.  
Enjoy!

YAY!!  Hunter Wellies!!

Yummy cookie cups -- recipe to come soon!

Mexican Chicken Soup - recipe here

Perfect Chambray shirt - Target


Organizing my closet and putting away all my summer sandals...ta ta for now!

Finding these beauties in my fall/winter storage -- so fun!!


DIY necklace time! Inspired by Alicia!

Finished product :)  I love it!

First chili of the season!  I used a combination of these 2 recipes: 1, 2
Easy and delicious!
Hope you are doing lovely, and enjoying the fall!!
I'm looking forward to the Duke Football game and the State Fair this weekend with friends!!
Such a fun time of the year :)

XOXO
