Autumn is Awesome: TAG

Since I don't make YouTube videos but I actually really love the tag my friend Rachel made up I figured I'd just do it here.  If you want to see her video click here!

Autumn is Awesome:

1. favourite/least favourite thing about fall?

My favorite thing about fall is probably Halloween.  I love everything about Halloween and it is the one time of year that orange is acceptable in my life.  I obviously love the change of weather and fall fashion but I think Halloween is just awesome.

My least favorite thing about fall is Dairy Delite closing.  If you know what that is, you'd definitely understand.  Thankfully I think they stay open into October now!

2. favourite clothing item for fall?


Scarves with anything and everything.  I pretty much will wear a scarf with every outfit if I can.  I also love boots but I lost my favorite boots to an embarrassing situation last winter.  RIP boots.

3. favourite makeup trend for fall?

Well since I honestly like to keep my make-up pretty simple all year round, I do try and embrace the darker berry color in the fall.  I am happy to see coral get retired as well... I think it has a time and place and honestly fall is not that place.

4. favourite fall food/drink?

My favorite fall drink is the iced pumpkin caramel latte from dunkin donuts.  YUM!  My favorite food is probably making spice cake and adding pumpkin to it.  

5. fall tv show premiere you're looking forward to most?

It's a tie between American Horror Story: Coven and Scandal!  I cannot wait!!!

6. favourite fall tradition?


Pumpkin carving which we are bringing back!

The BUMP and more!

So, it has finally happened.  As my co-workers say, I've popped!  It only took 23 weeks!  ;)

I am beyond excited that I've finally passed the awkward "are you just putting on weight or are you pregnant" stage.  So far I've gained about 12 pounds which is not too bad and is pretty much right on track.  Most of my weight is going STRAIGHT to my booty and belly.  I'm furiously applying coco butter lotions and trying to avoid too many stretch marks.  Although, I don't know if I can avoid them completely! :)

My emotions are at an all time high and I will find myself crying over the silliest things or laughing over something as silly as cupcakes.  Which funnily enough - I'm not craving at all.  Lately I've been dying to eat broccoli and veggie chips.  I've been guzzling water, milk, and the occasional orange juice.  I feel really great despite the achey feet.  Certain days of work are more draining than others but usually I get enough sleep each night.

Last friday night *cue Katy Perry* was one of the best nights of my life!  The only thing missing was my sweet boyfriend!  I got to see Fun. in concert.  It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.  I took some pictures and videos on my iPhone and once they are uploaded I plan to share them!  I even got a few sneak peaks of them walking around back stage.  I almost took Jack (the guitar player) out with a few pizzas!!  I will honestly remember that night for awhile.  Fun. is my FAVORITE band!  :D


This week is going to be a fun but busy one.  I have work everyday (9-5) plus the commute on the train.  This is a whooper of a week because we have 4 shows of which I won't be able to attend, sadly!  After work though, in the evenings I'm playing saxophone in Grease!  I'm playing for Neshaminy's summer stock show which will be my second show with Neshaminy summer stock.  I'm very excited because one of my great friends from CCU is coming to play in the pit with me on sax!  He gets here in just a couple of hours.  The baby loves music and I am so excited for him to be kicking and flipping during the show.

In other news though, my younger brother is home from Arizona!  He seems to be doing great, especially the fact that he is so tan.  (lucky!)

This is a bit of a random compilation of thoughts and things going on in my life but hey - if the blog title fits!  ;)

Have a fantastic week!

Happy July!

This blog has gotten zero attention since my last post.  I am going to make more use of this and keep track of baby updates plus little life updates.  Pictures will soon be included and hopefully this is a neat little place for me to share all kinds of exciting things about my life.  So far it's been not so exciting...

So July 4th has already came and went!  It was my mom's 54th birthday and we kept it very low key.  I got her tickets for Wicked in Philadelphia for July 31.  I truly hope this present helps cheer her up a bit. She's been a having a rough time.  My parents left today for a cruise with the whole family (Minus any kids or grand kids - probably a great break!) so I have the house completely to myself.  It's nice a quiet and I'm actually glad for it because sooner than I think it will be a mad house everyday.

I've hit the 21 week mark in my pregnancy and I'm starting to really feel the weight I've gained and my tummy is truly beginning to grow.  I'm getting more and more excited.  I really miss my sweet boyfriend though but he is working in New Hampshire until mid August and as I am working a full time job in Philly, we don't get to see each other much.

Next on my to-do list is to reorganize my room and get my registry set up.  I can't wait for my shower :)
