My Obsessions

1. When it comes to the holidays all I seem to think about & ponder over are decorations & treats. I've been doing some window shopping over the past couple weeks as stores begin to put their Christmas things out. I use to complain that they did this too early, but then I realized it was one of my favorite things. It means the holidays are coming! And since they always go too fast I don't mind starting early now that we have Ryder. You can find my decorating inspiration here,

2. I can't get enough fleece sleepers for Ryder! We like to keep the house cooler at night & we still go on walks a few nights a week. Since the temperatures decided to drop drastically this week, we need warm outfits for him to wear in the stroller.

3. The holidays always put me in the mood to make yummy goodies to eat. Every year my mom & I bake cookies, pies, breads, & new meals. I've been doing some digging on Pinterest & found these Old Fashion Doughnut Muffins. I can't wait to make them!! How awesome would they be with a cup of hot chocolate? I'm also excited to bust out festive cookie cutters & make sugar cookies.

4. Has anyone been watching ABC's 13 Nights of Halloween?? I get so excited for this each year. And this year is no exception...unless Ryder has other plans...I've already caught Hocus Pocus about 3 times & I love it more each time! You can see their whole line-up here.

5. The cooler weather has me browsing stores for new scarves. They are pretty much an obsession of mine the past couple years. I am completely in love with the scarves in this new collection at Target. Infinity scarves are a perfect accessory on a chilly day.

6. Ryder is completely in love with this playmat. After watching him kick at anything dangling from his other activity mat, we saw this in store & knew it was a must have. He will kick at the keyboard for up to an hour if we let him. He wears himself out on this thing!! It's great! I recommend this toy to any babies who like to kick their hearts out!
