So I fully admit that I am not a summer person, I love Spring and Fall because it is nice enough to be outside without sweating profusely but I am not going to be one of those people who start discussing Fall before summer even ends.
I will say however that Pinterest has totally skipped over Fall and went to Winter with a ton of Christmas pins and I can’t say I am mad about it. It is making me want to craft again.

free books! my trainer is also moving and offered to send me the books he was planning on donating 🙂
I was so excited. Get it girl, never pass up a free book!
Nice that you have a all of those books. Enjoying another beautiful summer morning outside by our pool. I don’t rush this season at all. I won’t make pumpkin bread until late September!! To each their own. If we were all alike it would be boring. Enjoy your weekend!
Love, Steph’s Momma
I won’t be without a book to read for the next few years! Ha! It was rainy here so I hope you enjoy the day by the pool!
That quote is everything! That stack of books would be the PERFECT birthday present – Go you for scoring the best gift lol
Do it! I need to add Bora Bora too. I am so jealous of Australia that is my number 2 place to visit.
Right?! So good to remember! Totally the best gift yet! 🙂
That chicken recipe looks so good! I may just have to try it!
I am excited to try it too, the apples and butternut squash should balance nicely together.
yay for free books!
that recipe looks AMAZING. yum.
have a good weekend girl!
I am so excited to read them once I finish my challenges of course!
Those pile of books like a great birthday present to me!! I’m all about the butternut squash, so totally pinning that recipe. Let’s see this weekend I need to start and finish shopping for a Fall Football secret swap I’m participating in. Then I need to ship a couple of packages off. I’m hoping for some pool time, too. Oh and I have work to do but reading is also on the agenda, duh. Have a great weekend!!
You have a busy weekend ahead of you. Hope you get some fun reading done poolside. Have a great weekend!
I would have loved a chance to go through Kate’s library! Lucky girl, so many books.
It was so much fun, I couldn’t help myself!
LOL @ the group chat meme! 😉 🙂
I’m not a summer person either. I can’t stand being hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehe! Love you guys. I swear everywhere I go I am hotter than everyone in the room, in the sweaty way not the looks way. Haha!
Great score on the books!
So many, I will never be without a book now.
oh my gosh, ALL of those books?! That’s so amazing, I can’t wait to hear what some of them are! I am soooo not ready for it to be winter, even though I do love the holidays. Happy Friday!
I am so excited to read them, some have been on my TBR for awhile which is awesome! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas for the family time it brings but the snow can go to H-E double hockey sticks.
Yay for free books, that was so nice of Kate. Looking forward to hearing your reviews about them. That quote is so great!! Have a great weekend!!
It was so sweet and she tempted me by saying they would just be donated if I didn’t take them so I took more. 😉 Have a great weekend!
“We’re both whack” hehehehe! Love all the books! You need to go build a bookshelf now for that collection.
Those printables are a great idea! Happy weekend!
I need them for my declutter-athon that needs to happen!
I’m excited for more “fall” eating like squash and apples – that chicken looks soooo good! Have a great weekend.
It sounds so tasty, I am not a pumpkin person but I love all things apple. Have a great weekend!
Mmmm that chicken looks amazing…such a fantastic fall recipe!
Such a good mix of flavors. I can’t wait to be able to turn my oven on again!
You have all but motivated me to go through all my stuff and get rid of a ton!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
De-clutter away girl!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Yay books!
That chicken dish does look tasty.
Give me all the books!! Haha!
THANK YOU for being like the one blogger who isn’t rushing fall! And yay to all the Christmas pins, they make my heart happy 🙂
Woohoo!! I love Fall it is my favorite season but it will come in due time. I have so many crafts to complete now. It is fun to start planning.
Oh man, you really scored on those books!!!! I can pin fall and Christmas all year long 🙂 Have a great weekend!
So many good books. They are my favorites.
A-to-the-men for that quote. Perfection! And, that recipe does look gooooood.
We have to remember to embrace the flaws. I really want to try that recipe.
I love that quote!
Thank you. It really is a good reminder.
