Welcome to fall, y'all! Fall is my very favorite season for SO many reasons. First of all, the weather - it's time to break out your fall peacoat and nice cozy jeans. Goodbye sandals, hello boots! You also might need your umbrella (or a snow shovel! Yikes!) Secondly, Halloween, Thanksgiving and all my other favorite wintertime holidays are that much closer! I can't wait to see what this year's holiday season will bring for me and my family!

And now, for National Women's Friendship Day: a showcase of my very good friend Victoria Paterson-Maiman. This girl is kick ass and I am SO glad to have met her! She worked with Justin at his previous (much more horrible) employer. We were friends at first sight! Anyway, she's awesome and amazing and the best pal a girl could ask for! I am LUCKY to have her in my life!

We made it through the summer and now it's coming up my my favorite time of year - Fall and leading up to The Holiday Season! I cannot wait for the holidays to come! Get ready!
Happy Cheese Pizza Day! First we have a delicious Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza recipe coming to use straight from Karly at Buns in my Oven.

Check out my Readables Pin Board for solid recommendations from Eat, Live, Run / GoodLife Eats / Marc and Angel - as well as What Should I Read Next's handy tool to help you find a book that fits your very own style!
