Slice of Life Saturday’s ~ Boot Season!
Happy Saturday, folks!
It’s officially boot season here in Baltimore. I was finally able to christen one pair of my riding boots last Saturday–hooray! Since I live in my pjs during the week, the weekends are pretty much the only chance I get to wear my boots, so it’s going to take awhile to bust a move in all of them. Yeah, I may have to stop buying a pair of boots every year. The new shoe rack Squirrel built me is full. I asked him is he would build me an overflow area, but all I got in return was an indignant look–I guess that’s a no. No worries, I’m skilled in stacking.
Are you thinking about your Thanksgiving menu? I have mine all planned out. Here’s what we’re having:
Two weeks ago, Squirrel and I unplugged and took a trip to the woods. The weather was absolutely amazing. It felt so good to walk away from the computer and my busy schedule for a few days. I actually finished an entire book, and I got to do so by the warmth of a fire. Squirrel can’t catch a fish to save his life, but he can gather the heck out of some fire wood. We had a roaring fire three days straight.
Maddox (our pup) lounged around in the leaves and waited for handouts–they’re were plenty. Aside from a walk to the lighthouse, the three of us just sat around and snacked on campfire food. It was a pretty epic three days. I even put in the extra effort before the camping trip and made Smitten Kitchen’s homemade graham cracker recipe. They were worth every minute of effort. If you’ve never had a homemade graham cracker, I recommend trying them at least once.
I don’t currently have any fancy holiday plans, but I’m about to find some just so I can buy this dress.
These boots–as if I need another pair.
These Loaded Junk Food Brownies.
I want to devour an entire bag of these Rum Spiked Caramels.
This shirt is currently in my Etsy cart for Squirrel.
These vibrant dipped bamboo utensils.
I’m about to re-decorate my living room for this couch.
This recipe for French Toast Waffles.

love all the favorites and your camping trip! I’m so jealous that you get to make Thanksgiving dinner-I don’t think that’ll happen for me until I get much older *le sigh*
Love reading your Slice of Saturday! Unwind girlfriend, we all need it! Your Thanksgiving menu looks delicious!
BOOOOOOOOTS! boots are my everything: i get them out like, the MINUTE labor day ends and i don’t even care. :) i actually got made fun of/verbally assaulted last week by some florida natives while i was on vacation b/c i was wearing my riding boots and a tee shirt. total jerks: it wasn’t even hot there, and i looked CUTE. :)
i love your boots: are those the steve madden ones? i feel like i was eyeing those boots at DSW the other day.
Very good, thanks.
I appreciated this. Indeed, we very often postpone life for the future. And life is short. So I think that I’d rather start dating again. Found fart partners Fetfantazy.com and will register today when I get back from work. The problem is that I work a lot, have almost zero time for going out. So this website looks like a bit helper to mem.
It’s interesting how such texts encourage reflection not only on everyday life, but also on personal matters. When you catch yourself thinking that you want to share these little things with someone else. At such moments, I better understand why formats like singles dating remain relevant – they create a space where you can start a dialogue with a person who is also close to such simple joys.
