Our cool front blew in last week, which is hilarious at 80-something degrees, but was delightful, nonetheless. Less humidity, but still plenty of sunshine, my fave. I decided I’d get my act together with baking season, even if it’s not beginning to look even remotely like Christmas.

Lemme get something straight though, y’all – please do not ever confuse this with complaining. I am over the moon happy to be sweating my lady bits off in November. Do I like a crisp Fall? Sure. Am I willing to trade that out for a Winter that doesn’t send me to the depths of actual icy hell. You betcha.

This week we have more fun Tampa events including my 2nd formal shindig here where I get to brush my teeth with purpose. It’s a real joy to be leaving the house again after months of solitude (i.e. mold poisoning). I am just loving it.

In other news, I did just book a cabin in the mountains for the holidays for a change of scenery and to escape with my family for a bit. To say our lives have been action packed is a great understatement, so I am looking forward to slowing down and snuggling my people. Have you ever been to Blue Ridge Mountains [3]? Tell me everything! I’m excited to explore!
