A Few of my Favorite Things: September

Well, friends, it's been an eventful month. I'm honestly quite exhausted and getting over a nasty cold. As we approach my very favorite time of the year, I hope you begin to pull back to home and find the quiet rest that comes with cooler weather. That's my hope for this season for you and for me! Here are a few of my favorites from September:

1. I ordered this rug for our playroom and I love it! It's not too loud, but still adds pattern and texture to the room. It's also WAY nicer than sitting on hardwood all day!
   
2. I haven't had as much of a chance to read this month as I would like, but I did read Rush by Lisa Patton. Anne from Modern Mrs Darcy (my favorite site for book rec's!) recommended it and I really enjoyed it. It's a lighter read, but tackles some legitimate, heavier issues.
   
3. Our new home and state is so different from Colorado that it's still taking me some time to feel at home. It's almost as if we are on an extended vacation. What's helped me the most is continuing to do "normal" things. We've found a new library. I wake up, drink coffee, and read. Slowly, slowly, it's starting to feel like home.
   
4. The weather here has still been warm, and I've never been one for summer clothes, so I've ordered a few new things lately. Maurice's is one of my favorite places for pretty tops, and they didn't disappoint. I ordered this striped tank plus a few others that are sold out. I love their fall styles too, so check them out as you add to your cool weather wardrobe!
   
5. Some friends and I are reading 100 Days to Brave together over the next few months. We've started it and I'm already so challenged to live bravely. And there is something so special about reading books with friends. I may not be in CO anymore, but our text group about the book is keeping me going on my homesick days.

What are you loving this month?
