this week was good because of...

...a weekend in one of my favorite places in the country...



...with one of my favorite people and her family.

...the best kind of girl time - full of good conversation, yummy foods and yes, shopping.



...snuggle time and play time with these adorable girls.

...enjoying the Christmas trees and holiday lights everywhere.



...pumpkin pudding cake. Warm. With organic vanilla ice cream.

...traveling safely in wintry weather.

...being missed.



...the four different types of pumpkin in my fridge at one time (canned pumpkin, pumpkin roll, pumpkin pie and pumpkin seeds). Hello, my name is Sleepeybear and I'm a pumpkin-aholic.

...dinner and a movie on our date night.



...trying on a ridiculously fabulous pair of shoes.

...being responsibly practical and leaving those shoes in the store.

...a simple evening at home - having dinner, getting things done - and the pleasure of him being there throughout.



...magical red velvet cake mix that turns from brown to red when the liquid is added.

...an amazing, grace-filled woman-to-woman-to-woman conversation before yoga class.



...making a delicious dinner from mostly leftovers.

...the first Christmas-gift purchases.



...this lovely banner at Panera.

...the idea of creating new holiday traditions with Wildcat Guy.
