Neighborhood Fall Festival

October 30, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Tonight, we froze our butts off at our neighborhood;s fall festival. They had games, pumpkin painting, live music, hay rides, and lots of great food, of course.

I wore boots for the first time since winter!

So I think this is the longest my hair has been in years!

We got to the front of the neighborhood while the sun was still up so it wasn’t too cold, and we dug in to enjoy some chili and many flavors of cupcakes.

the pumpkin ones were sssooo good. Cream cheese frosting…yes please!

So, sadly I took more pictures of the food than the people.

I kid you not.

They set up this cute little photo op that we forgot to take advantage of. oops.

There were several rounds of hay rides, which we did not partake in.

There were ā€œroll the pumpkinā€ races

(cheap point and shoot camera FAIL)

But the best part was just sitting around hanging out with our neighbors listening to the music. Around 7:30 my hands were numb and I realized this probably wasn’t a good thing,, so we hopped on the golf cart and headed home. We had a great time, but said the only thing missing was a bonfire, that would have been nice!

I love my neighborhood and how we always have great social events!

QOTD: Does your neighborhood ever have parties or get togethers? My neighborhood growing up, our street always had our own ā€œblock partyā€ and that was fun.

    I love your dress! So cute! And the tall boots with the socks – excellent šŸ™‚ It’s crazy cold up here too – I’m about to head out for a run in 30* weather. I fear for what the winter holds…

    I have always grown up and lived in the country. The times I was in an apartment in college we never had any gatherings. It sounds like fun though.

    Side note…where did you get your boots?? I can not find any that don’t have the outrageous heal. I am a teacher and I don’t want an heal on it.

    You are too cute! I love block parties but really haven’t had too many since we’ve been married and live in apartments.

Some days it really is the small things that add u Some days it really is the small things that add up. #mochipartner

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

If you want to try it, there’s $40 off your first month through the link in my bio. @joinmochi #joinmochi mochihealth

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. šŸ˜‹ 

If this is what ā€œone stopā€ on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( šŸ”— in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly ā€œoffā€ feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

It’s one capsule a day and the #1 doctor-recommended probiotic brand for over 15 years—. I started taking Align to help relieve my occasional gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort* and now I feel more comfortable moving through my day. @alignprobiotic
