I've never made cinnamon buns from scratch before this recipe and let. me. tell. you: boy, was it easy. And delicious. And quick (maybe, maybe 25 minutes total). I tweaked it a little and used whole wheat flour (because I'm 'healthy' like that) and then covered them in cream cheese icing (because that's how I roll). Deeelish.

I went raspberry picking in the summer and totally forgot to share these pictures. Ahhh summer, now just a distant memory. Please come back (sooner than later).

Peanut, our family dog came to visit on the weekend. She's such a cutie, but also very mischievous too. It was nice to have her visit for a long weekend of walks, cuddles and naps, but I was also thankful to give her back Sunday evening.
* Yes I let her sleep in bed with me (so spoiled, right?) but she doesn't shed and she smells good, so, those are my excuses.

I love inexpensive accessories (it means I can afford to buy more, right?) and love stocking up at H&M, Forever 21, Sirens, and lately, Dollarama. Yes, the dollar store. You'd be surprised what you can find there (if you haven't already looked) and why pay more than $1 for a pair of silver hoop earrings when you don't have to? And nobody knows the difference! Exactly.
November 1st?! How did that happen? Hard to believe Fall has come and almost gone already. Yesterday I was out shopping and they had ornaments, Christmas trees and decorative holiday items out. I mean, I guess 'tis the season, but it always seems to come so quick. In other words, we've got under two months till my favourite holiday! So exciting (but can I skip on the snow).
Isn't the above pumpkin so cute? I wish I could say it was mine but it's Ashley's (I did ask if I could 'borrow' her idea but alas did not end up carving a pumpkin this year). I didn't dress up this year either like I have in the past. One thing I did do, though, is eat far too many Candy Kisses and treats, oy.
Bedo is killing it this year with their F/W collection. I was in the store a couple weeks ago during my trip to Montreal and was drooling over almost every piece. I walked away empty handed (didn't want to spend $80+) but even love the way they've styled their collection.
Joy the Baker is my favourite food blog. Not only does she whip up amazing desserts, dinners, appetizers, cookies, cakes, breakfasts, soups and more, she's hi-larious. No seriously, she is. And witty, she's so witty she's makin' all the kids want to be just. like. her. I have made several of her concoctions before (my fave ginger cookies are courtesy of her) and this time I took on two recipes at once. At once! Quinoa Cakes (with some stuff in 'em) and a Vegan Broccoli Soup. And hot damn they were good. Seriously, this girl knows what she's talking... er... cookin' about. Don't take my word for it (or my photos, because not only is girl a phenom chef, she takes extraordinary photos too), check her out.
* I modified my recipes a tad just because I didn't have a few ingredients. Here's what I used in lieu:
Sage instead of cumin
Lime juice instead of lemon
No olives
Cilantro instead of parsley
I recently discovered the 'Comments' tab within blogger and realized I can view all my most recent comments (doesn't matter what post it was left on) without having to open up each post. Many of you are probably saying, 'Duh!' right now, but I didn't know!
Reading through your comments totally brighten my day and you, my lovely readers, are so sweet. I am so grateful for each and every comment you leave. Thank you for coming to my blog, commenting and interacting with me. I love blogging and knowing you love my blogging too, makes it all the better.
I just wanted to mention that I have noticed (I have missed several) comments left where a question has been asked. I typically don't respond in the comments section as I'm not one to go back to see if a blogger responded to me there. I'll try to go to your blog and respond but often times the commenter doesn't have a blog. I just wanted to remind you that you can always ask me (anonymously too, i$ you'd like) questions through my Formspring page. It's easiest for me (and you) as all the Q's & A's are in one place. So feel free to use that.
Thank you again for reading, it really means so so soo much to me. xo
After a year of being told and untold many times that I would be moving offices, it finally happened, and I got a window. Woohoo! The view isn't spectacular (a roof and connecting building), but in the winter, the snow squals in this little alcove are awesome and it's a window, hell-o. I'll take a window over no window any day and this is a refreshing change since I've been located in the basement* for over a year now.
* It's not really the basement of the building, more like ground level or a walk-out basement, if you will (aka you know the bugs you might come across in your basement? Well, you might have come across them in my office. Ack!). There were windows, just none near my office so natural light is a refreshing change.
H&M purchases: dress, zipper snood, skinny pants, top, dress, bubble skirt, cropped skinny pants, dress
F21: skirt, skirt, dress, skirt

Jacob moto-jacket
This wasn't a purchase yet given to me from my girl friend that I stayed with as she didn't want it anymore.
What a score, 'eh!?

The weekend is here! After a long week at the office, which included
moving offices, I'm completely exhausted and in need of a good sleep in.
Can't wait to do so tomorrow morning and enjoy the fall weather coming
our way this weekend. What do you have planned?
