Friday - Wurst Bar with Brooke and Josh. Yes, I had a bun-less burger with peanut butter and bacon; don't judge.
The weekend was a great combination of friend time and rest time. I woke up today feeling refreshed and ready for the week, which is always a surprise but a good reminder not to overbook my weekends. Also, can I mention how gorgeous the weather was this weekend? Ann Arbor, you can stay this temperature as long as you want (I fear this weekend's forecast). The one weekend regret is that I may have played a little too much Cookie Jam (basically Candy Crush, but with cookies). I see myself quitting cold turkey soon as to allow more time for reading, working out, and not being attached to my phone. I hope you all had a lovely weekend! See my review via pictures below.

TGIF! We don't have too much planned this weekend, which will be lovely. I hoping to read and relax and just enjoy down-time. I really like to keep my weekends as low key as possible so that I feel refreshed by Monday! I also hope to do some trail running this weekend if it isn't too cold (somehow Michigan has been providing us with 35 degree mornings). Enjoy your weekend, friends!
If you saw my weekend update, you already got a glimpse into how much I love fall trees. It is probably my favorite part of the season. Someday I will explore New England during this time of year and take it all in. Today I had the chance to take pictures of the fall glory currently happening at the University of Michigan. Enjoy my fall favorite via these pictures below!
I had such a fabulous long weekend with my momma! I really really miss living closer to her. It was so nice to go on walks together, go out to eat, sit on the couch and watch a movie together, laugh, and hug! You may notice a major theme in the pictures below - fall trees! Ann Arbor was in it's prime time for beautiful trees and I am so glad my momma got to witness it! I wish I lived close enough to my mom to spend more time with her! I am so incredibly blessed to have such a good relationship with my mom. She really is the best and I am thankful for the time we had together! Today was full on momma withdrawals! friday
saturday and sunday

My mommy is here and I am beyond excited to have her all to myself this weekend. Although, I will likely allow RJ to spend time with her as well. The plan includes hugs, the Detroit zoo, more hugs, a trip to the cider mill for donuts, fall walks, some hugs, maybe a movie, scrabble playing, perhaps a University of Michigan Art museum, some more hugs, and some good food! Since this Friday includes a visit from my mom, I figured I could do a mom edition of four friday favorites.
Whether it is a pumpkin spice latte, mulled wine, or hard cider - fall in a cup is one of my favorites during this season! I love how certain flavors and colors in your cup can give you feelings of nostalgia and happiness. Here are some fall drink recipes that I hope to try/make this fall season. Enjoy!
Saturday, October 10 marked year one for The Price Life blog. I really started this blog for me - to document my life in Michigan and to share some of the things I am thinking about, doing, liking, cooking, reading, and/or eating. Honest moment - sometimes I feel like this blog is dumb. But, then I remember why I am doing it. I am fairly certain than in 10 years from now (if I am not still blogging), I will look back and be glad for this online memory collector. Thanks for letting me share all the little things that I experienced, enjoyed, and was challenged by this past year. Looking forward to sharing more in the coming year!
How was your weekend? Ours was lovely. We saw Gone Girl on Friday night and I am glad I read the book first. The movie was pretty good in a dark and twisted sort of way. Saturday included a coffee and reading date, a fall walk to the dog park (we are dog sitting Abby this weekend), a solo bike ride, and a girls night out to a couple of places (Black Pearl, Lena, and Frita Batidos) with my friend Sarah and SIL Andrea. Sunday we did nothing, which was perfect. We watched a couple of our shows, napped, and watched football. Also, the Sunday tradition of Andrea coming over for dinner, followed by a trip to frozen yogurt continues. We are all so thankful to live in the same state right now!
My mom arrives at the end of the week and I am really looking forward to hugging her a bunch and showing her a fall version of Ann Arbor. Enjoy your week, loves! TGIF! Michigan is bringing it this weekend in terms of the fall weather! I am hoping to do some fall walks and bike rides this weekend; you really have to take advantage of the sun when you can! I am also planning on catching up on shows, finishing my Cheryl Strayed book, and watching the Seahawks! Enjoy your weekend, friends! {all photos courtesy of: Pinterest}
Now that it is October, I feel ready to enjoy fall to the fullest. I have added a couple fall favorites to my weekend and Friday posts, but I figured I could do a blog series during the month of October that focuses exclusively on Fall.
Before I moved to Michigan, I had never heard about Cider Mills. Since living here for two years, I have gone to three! My favorite, hands down, is the Dexter Cider Mill. The doughnuts are out of this world...so much so that I may risk not feeling well for a couple days to eat their doughnuts this fall (Dexter Cider Mill doughnuts > Gluten intolerance). Below are some pictures from the past couple of years Cider Mill Adventures! Last year I took Valerie and the year before I went with friends! This year I hope to bring my momma who gets here next week! |
