Isn't It Lovely?

this post is part of my 31 Day series. here is the beginning

It's here! And it's beautiful! The trees here are fluorescent and glowing. Ollie and I went for a 3.5 mile walk up the prettiest hill. I left my camera alone and just enjoyed the scenery and my company. November might be my favorite month. Did I say that about September??

November 1st also means that 31 Days are over. That month went fast, and I enjoyed participating with the other bloggers. It was good for me to challenge myself both with writing and cooking. There are some new recipes I tried last month that we really liked and turned out to be really easy! And, even though I didn't post every day, I posted way more than usual and it feels good to have a fuller month. As for my budget goals, I kind of lost track mid-October since Caroline and Maria were here. We ate out a little more than we usual do, and obviously had to buy a little more groceries. I'll do some math and maybe write a bit more about that later.

Thanks for following along. I hope you found some new recipes that you and your family enjoyed, too! I have a lot of fun things planned for November so I hope you'll stick around and see what happens next :)
