Hi Friends!
Time for another rambly little chat. Here’s what’s on my mind lately:
Apples!
It’s Honeycrisp weekend at the apple orchard near us and I can’t wait to go pick some! They usually run out super quick and picking starts today so I’m debating between dragging hubby over after work or going bright and early tomorrow morning. Then I’m definitely making some crockpot applesauce first thing! The pic above is a flashback to one of our apple picking trips in 2009 🙂
Birthdays!
Tomorrow night we’re heading out to celebrate hubby’s 30th birthday. Even though his actual birthday isn’t until Oct 1st, this is the best night for our friends to be able to get together. Plus, it ensures we’ll get a celebration in, just in case baby decides to come early! Continuing the throwback theme- the pic above is from his 26th bday! Can’t believe we’re almost 30!
Freezer meals!
I’ve been scouring the internet, Pinterest etc and brainstorming a list of freezer and crockpot meals so I can stock the freezer before baby comes. I’ve got a pretty good list going and plan to do some work in the kitchen either this weekend or next. I’ll keep you posted on how they turn out.
Pictures!
We’re getting our maternity pictures taken on Sunday. Our friend Jessica, who took some great pics for us for our 5 year anniversary last year (like the one above) is going to take them. We’re going back to our college town (since it’s just 20 minutes away) so it should be fun!
Blankets!
Hubby is actually quite talented with the sewing machine, so I’m trying to convince him we should make one of these fun tag blankets. Cassie posted a great tutorial yesterday.
New Phone!
I’m still truckin’ along with my iphone 4 over here. It is slow as molasses and i CANNOT WAIT to get the new one. I’ve been waiting for it to be released FOREVER. Definitely getting the 6, the 6 plus is just too big but errr mah gerrrrddddd….so excited!
Pumpkin!
I just can’t get enough. I love fall. I have plans to remake a couple of my pumpkin recipes from last year and hopefully take some better pictures…but really I just want to eat them.
That’s about all for now I think!
What are you loving lately?
Enjoy!

I love you babe, but I think if you tried a little harder, you could have found a throwback bday pic with less pit sweat🙈
Audrina @ Mindfully Audrina says
It looks like your week has been filled with fun! This reminded me I should start freezing my meals for school, thanks 🙂
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Looks like you have the perfect weekend ahead – apples and partying! Yay!
Enjoy 🙂
jill conyers says
I can’t wait to get the 6!
Tara Newman says
My iPhone makes me happier than it should so I am with you…can’t wait for the 6! Interested to hear about your freezer meals. That’s the one thing that I can’t find the motivation to do but would probably be helpful.
Hollie says
I’m excited for apple picking. It sounds like you have quite the weekend planned.
debikayo says
Hey, I plan to get a 6 sometime in the next few months too. I have a plain ole 5 but the turn off button is getting twitchy and I have a blob on my camera lens, which makes me insane
TAGBLANKETS- My baby granddaughter LOVES hers, and last summer I helped my daughter in law make a couple for her. That way there is one for the wash, one for the diaper bag and one for her bed. They are super simple to make.
Have a great weekend!
Purelytwins says
we are so excited for iphone 6 too!!!! our current iphones are so slow and lose the their battery all the time!! grrr
Dietitian Jess says
Happy 30th to hubby, hope you guys have fun celebrating! Cant wait to see your maternity pics 🙂
Amanda says
I’m loving Goat Cheese a little too much lately. Just can’t help myself! And I’m always loving all things pumpkin =).
Kim @ FITsique says
Apple picking and pumpkins = <3 I haven't found a good spot to pick apples in in my current city so I need to do some research this year! Its my last year here and I want to make the most of it!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
those taggy blankets are the best and that would be amazing if your hubs made one!!! seriously impressive!!
Carla says
we still have a million taggggy blankets here too and mine is 8 🙂
Leslee @ Her happy balance says
I have never gone apple picking but it’s on my fall to-do list every year, maybe this will finally be my year!! I do however love picking my pumpkin from a pumpkin patch, can’t wait for that! I’m planning a halloween party for the 3rd of October, so I’ve been loving working on all the decorations and food ideas. I’ll do a bunch of that this weekend along with a long run. Happy early bday to your hubster.
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
happy early birthday to your hubster 🙂 im looking forward to a calm weekend.
Elle says
Happy early bday to Mr. Bean! Fall is definitely a little slow to start here in SF but that hasn’t stopped me from busting out a batch of homemade pumpkin spice syrup for my morning latte! Bring.it.on. 🙂
Kelly says
I love that your hubby is handy with a sewing machine. My husband cross stitched a large picture for our daughter when she was a newborn. It’s incredibly sweet to think that my strapping 6’5 husband would spend a couple of hours every evening cross stitching for her. It’s framed and hung in her room. I love it!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I have had a Droid for as long as I can remember, but I am thinking that my next phone will be an iPhone. I’ll be excited to hear how you like it. And I agree on the plus… it is CRAZY how big phones are getting now.
Rachel says
Love these posts and that first photo is just adorable! There is something just so exciting about Fall. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! Enjoy all of these last weekends as a family of 2.5!
Amanda Robinson says
I wish we could go apple picking here, but alas I’m in Florida.
On a random note, I’m going to be in Columbus next week for work and I would love any restaurant recommendations you have. I’m determined to stay on track with my eating and fitness!
Laura @losingrace says
Looks like such a fun weekend! Enjoy Apple picking, celebrating birthday’s, and getting photos taken! Those tag blankets are so cute and easy to make. I made one for my nephew and he takes it everywhere!
Danica @ It's Progression says
The weather has been really cold here this week – down in the 40s, rainy, and windy – too soon, right?! Because of that though I’ve been loving hot oats for breakfast and soup/chili for dinner…something warm!
Lisa @ Healthy Nibbles & Bits says
I need to go apple picking!! It’s been a few years, but I always get so excited about the adventure. I’m still on my iPhone 4, too!!
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
Want to have a party to welcome the Iphone 6? My 4 is on it’s deathbed. Have an epic weekend, buddy!
Matt @ Runner Savvy says
The 6 plus is huge! I am happy with my 5 for now. Still plenty fast.
Jillian Henny says
Some great stuff you’ve been busying yourself lately. I want to try apple picking. It sounds kind of fun. Though, I don’t know one that’s near my place. :))
Oh, and the iPhone 6!! I’ve been thinking of getting it but I’m still reluctant to let go of my Sony Xperia phone. Separation anxiety issues. Once it’s officially released everywhere, I’ll think about it after I get to read some reviews. I’m really not to jump into the bandwagon, much. But it’s a gorgeous phone, though. 😀
Heather Williams says
AHH!! I just got my iPhone 6 too!!:) SO excited!! Loving apples right now myself! CANT GET ENOUGH:) You look beautiful Lindsay!!:)
Danielle says
Apple picking is so much fun! I recently found Honeycrisp Apple dish soap at target and it smells soooooo good. Almost makes me want to wash the dishes……almost. Let us know what you think of the iPhone 6. I might be due for an upgrade before too long 🙂
Lindsay says
oooh that soap sounds awesome! will keep you posted about the phone!
