Brunch at Wild Eggs!

The weather is finally starting to cool off a little here in the bluegrass. The changing of the seasons always puts me in a better mood. Fall always feels like the perfect time for organizing and reflecting. My wardrobe starts to feel fresh and new as I pull out sweaters and scarves that have been pushed to the side for months. There’s just something calming and peaceful about this time of year. I love it. I love heading out to brunch in the crisp fall air with my little family. But to be fair, I love heading out for brunch in just about any weather…ahem! We tried Wild Eggs for the first time last weekend and it was delicious!…

A Witchy Halloween Tea Party

On Sunday I attended another Seasonal Tea Society meeting – Halloween Tea Party edition! You can check out the first meeting I went to in the Spring here. We were all to attend in our witchiest costume for the fall/Halloween meeting. I decided to be as frugal as possible and find things in my closet for my costume (see similar item details below). We had a blast chatting, enjoying our tea, and getting to play dress up. I don’t really have any other reason to dress up for Halloween so it was fun to put a quick little costume together and get together with my best friends! Kalen always goes above and beyond as the host of these fun parties!

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Coffee With Shuffle Bean Coffee & Chemex

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Coffee with Shuffle Bean Coffee

Good morning, friends! Today I want to share one of my favorite ways to brew coffee! I am one of those stereotypical mommas with a coffee addiction. Just slap one of those “But first, coffee” t-shirts on me paired with my LuLaRoe leggings, a messy top knot, and a mug that says “Mom Fuel” on it. So basic. I know. But the way I brew coffee is anything but basic.

Don’t get me wrong – I like my instant cup coffee too! Sometimes you just need a dang cup of coffee in 15 seconds. But most mornings I enjoy taking a few more minutes to make coffee in my Chemex.

Using a Chemex coffee maker is (in my opinion) the simplest way to make a smooth and delicious pot of coffee. All you need is a Chemex (here), a paper Chemex filter (here), boiling water, and good COFFEE. The Chemex is made of glass – there are no tiny parts to clean. This is a BIG deal for me because let’s face it friends, I am lazy. I would never clean something with a bunch of little pieces to wash and sanitize. I want to mention that up front because some of you are already looking at this thing and thinking that it is going to be difficult to use. It isn’t.

My favorite coffee to use is Shuffle Bean Coffee. Good quality coffee is always a good start! …

What I Wore: Orange Shift Dress & Leopard Comfort Pants

My style has been very comfy and laid back lately. I’m all about leggings, flowy tops, and dresses. This orange rust color dress (similar dress linked here) is such a favorite of mine. It is made of the softest suede-like material! I have found so many different ways to remix it – you can see how I wore it as a top with jeans here. It is just so versatile!

These comfy leopard knit pants are not quite leggings. They are a thick and good quality material so I would definitely put them in the “pants” category. I searched for them online and found that they are still available here on Overstock.com for $10.39. The description of them is literally “leopard print comfort pant”. I can’t think of anything that sounds more true to my style than that. COMFORT PANT. I am wearing these on Thanksgiving.
