Isn’t it wonderful when you come across photos that include a bunch of your favorite things together? Well, I like babies and I like yarn. Today, while pinning, I found these beautiful photos by Reverie.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing a bunch of things you love, but all of them combined are just overwhelming? That is how I feel right now. Nothing is terrible. I love my classes. I love thinking about grad school or other future plans. I love blogging. And spending time with friends. But even if I am doing things that I enjoy, I still feel busy.

Yesterday, in the middle of my classes and my internship, I went to a cozy Starbucks in a town where I don’t know anyone. There was a fireplace and Mumford & Sons started playing in the background. And I just sat there for five minutes with my gingerbread chai. It was so perfect! How often do you go to a coffee shop to just sit by yourself? Not read. Not write. Not talk to anyone.

May I have another opportunity in the near future to do that again :)

Meanwhile, my actual camera sits in the corner of my room. I think it is literally on the floor. It hasn’t gotten out much this season, but all of that is about to change because I am photographing a wedding next summer!

In FRANCE!

Let the inspiration begin now :)

More on this later. I’m so excited!!!

Finally, the weather has been chilly for more than a day! It makes me want to stay indoors with blankets and a good, non school-related book. Last night, my roommates and I watched Date Night and enjoyed cider and pumpkin souffles. Yum! This weekend should be full of more of those things, in addition to a ton of homework.

November means many things to me. Mostly, it reminds me of the confetti, frosting, and princess parties since that is how I used to spend each November 15th. This year, I will be celebrating by seeing Feist in the city and wine tasting.

Other reasons why I am excited about this month:

Broadacre opened recently in Downtown Sacramento. Two words: Lavender Latte.

Yesterday, I skipped the Halloween festivities and held a precious baby instead. My niece!

She is going to have the time of her life hanging out with my little sisters :) Now, I have to finish this blanket, among other things.

PS. I did dress up for a split second. What kind of ears are these? Definitely not cat ears.

Last night, I was searching for cute social media buttons but I couldn’t find any that I loved. And then I thought…hexagons! Of course. So I made these little hexagons using photoshop and honeycomb textures from Pugly Pixel.

There are a bunch of image mapping tutorials on the internet, but I’m not so savvy in that way, so I used an image map generator to link the hexagons. That is why you’ll see a bright blue lopsided outline if you click one of the links.
