Fall Friday Favorites #7

Happy Fall Friday!

This week has been flipped upside down because my poor little baby had a cold and wasn’t sleeping well.

I hope everyone had a spooky Halloween and is engaging in the very serious debate over whether or not its too early to decorate for Christmas.

Cafe Bustelo

Praise the coffee gods. Coffee is food group and I will die on this hill. After having a sick baby I’ve been on at least 3 cups a day. I’ll slow down one day, I promise.

Macklemore – Next Year

I’m so happy Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are working together again! This one had such a defined Mack and Ryan feel. I can’t seem to get it out of my head!

Aren’t we all so excited for a new year? 2020 and 2021 have been…you know.

Tofu

I’m so sick of eating chicken. Is anyone else sick of chicken? I’ve been loving tofu lately. I kind of squeeze out the liquid and then heat it up in a pan with teriyaki sauce. It’s such a nice alternative for a meatless meal!

What are you loving this week?

Let me know below!

My Ultimate Autumn Playlist

I believe that every new season, every new chapter needs a playlist. Taking an hour or two to curate the perfect fall playlist is a must-do once the humidity begins to lift.

What sounds more idyllic than relaxing with a warm cup of tea, a fuzzy blanket, and watching the leaves fall and cars pass? As L.M. Montgomery said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Here are the songs (some old, some new) that I come back to every autumn.

  1. Idaho – Gregory Alan Isakov
  2. Charlie Boy – The Lumineers
  3. So Far Around the Bend – The National
  4. Learning to Love Again – Mat Kearney
  5. River – Leon Bridges
  6. Box of Stones – Benjamin Francis Leftwich
  7. Game Shows Touch Our Lives – The Mountain Goats
  8. Man on Fire – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes
  9. Inn Town – Whiskeytown
  10. Blood – The Middle East
