Hello friends, and happy October! 🍁🍂
I'm joining Amy from the blog, Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa, for her Currently link-up. It's held on the first Wednesday of each month.
This month we will be sharing: Falling for, Scaring (me), Working on, Loving, and Entertaining (me).
FALLING FOR: Happy October, friends. It's a new month and the beginning of fall. I love how people decorate for fall and Halloween. Our local supermarket decorated the area with hay and pumpkins.
It's the perfect time of year for making muffins and bread. When I see muffins like this one on Instagram, I want to bake them. Do you have a favorite fall muffin or bread recipe that you like to bake?
SCARING ME: I know some people like to decorate the outside of their homes with scary decorations. It scares me when it's nighttime. I like decorating the outside of my house with mums, pumpkins, and cute Halloween decorations.
WORKING ON: I'm still working on switching over to fall clothes since we've had some warm days lately. I'll be wearing a few layers. I still have my summer flowers blooming in large stone pots in my yard, and I'll have to clean them out soon. I'm not sure if we will be getting a lot of kids this year for Halloween as it falls on a Saturday this year. I need to buy some Halloween candy to give out to the the kids. I love seeing the costumes the little kids wear.
LOVING: This summer my daughter and I saw Harry Styles when he performed at Wembley Stadium in England. You can read about that post here. Well, I saw him perform again last weekend with my husband at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It's my third time seeing him and a first for my husband. He was amazing and very entertaining. He puts on a great show. I was happy to wear my Harry Styles T-Shirt I bought when I was in London over the summer. My daughter got us great seats, and now I'm such a fan of Harry. I liked the show so much that one of our friends saw my Instagram story and I influenced her to go with her husband to see the show. I'm very excited because I'm going to see him again next week and this time with my daughter. It will be nice to enjoy it with her and to be in the moment and not film as much as I did at this show.
Now that it's fall and October, I like getting my nails done in darker colors. I'm thinking of getting my nails done in a deep red color. Like this color shown. It's called Slip Dressed Up by OPI.
Some of you might have noticed my recent photos on Instagram @brklynhousewife of my recent trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This was our first time visiting, and we loved it there. We were traveling there with some of my husband's family. I hope to write up a blog post about this trip at some point. If you want to see more pictures of my trip, take a look on Instagram.
ENTERTAINING ME: My husband and I belong to the Roudabout Theatre, and we'll be seeing more shows. We love that we get great seats to the shows at a discounted price. We just saw the show, The Imaginary Invalid, which we enjoyed and found funny and entertaining.
I sometimes forget how busy and crowded Times Square can be at times. I do love taking photos of the area.
My husband and I have been watching shows lately such as:
East of Eden
Widows Bay
Sugar
The Paper
Ted Lasso
The Four Seasons
What are you watching, and do you have any shows to recommend?
It's been such a busy time for me this summer, and I did a lot of traveling. I enjoyed the summer, but I'm looking forward to enjoying fall. I'm hoping to find more time for blogging. If you want to see more going on with me, then visit me on Instagram @brklynhousewife.
What is currently new with you?
Hello friends, happy October 🍂
I love this season for getting comfortable and cozy reading books.
I'd love to share with you the books I've read recently.
SUCH A FUN AGE BY KILEY REID
I found this book in our neighborhood's little library. I love reading a physical book, and this is from Reece's Book Club. It's about a babysitter who is wrongly accused of kidnapping the child she is babysitting one evening while shopping in a high-end grocery store by a security guard and a shopper. This book talks about race, privilege, and the relationship between two women. I recommend this book and enjoyed reading it.
TWISTED TWENTY-SIX BY JANET EVANOVICH
I found the book at the little library in our neighborhood. This is the first time I've read a book by this author. I enjoyed reading this Stephanie Plum series and I found it to be a fun mystery read. I would like to read more books by this author.
BEAUTIFUL UGLY BY ALICE FEENEY
This book was recommended by Heather at Our Life in a Click. If you read this Heather, thanks for the recommendation. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It had a lot of twists and turns to the story that I did not see coming, and I couldn't put it down.
SHE'S NOT SORRY BY MARY KUBICA
I was on the wait list at my library for a few months for this book. When the book was ready for me to read, I was excited but, I started reading it but I didn't like it, so I returned the book. This was disappointing to me, but if I don't like a book that I'm reading, I will return it to the library.
LOVE LIES AND PUMPKIN SPICE BY RACHEL BEATTIE
This is an easy cozy mystery that I enjoyed reading. It's a perfect mystery read for the fall season.
What are you reading now? If you have book recommendations, please let me know.
I will share this post at the monthly book link-up party, Share Your Shelf. It's held on the first Thursday of each month. Slices of Life
