realizing: how spoiled we got with warm temperatures throughout September and October. Minimal need for coats and 75ish miles per week of outdoor biking since May is pretty well coming to an end now, sad to say.

stirring: some hot chocolate for Hendrik from my homemade mix. At least a few times a week (even in the summer) he's been asking if it's cold enough yet to have it, so at least there's one person who's happy the chilly weather has arrived for good...

appreciating: running water in the kitchen! Wheeee! Love my new faucet. (Going 4 weeks without a sink or dishwasher during a remodel really helps you not take it for granted after that.)

investigating: vacationy stuff around San Diego and maybe Palm Springs. I have a work trip at the end of January, and with how close it is to our anniversary, plus the fact that I have a free plane ticket to sunny southern California in the winter, it seems like we can't not make a vacation out of it, right?! This weekend guide especially makes me want to get to Palm Springs.

following: Brit + Co on Instagram, one of my favorite happy-inducing visuals in my feed - they always have such fun and vibrant photos and creative quotes/graphics, plus lots of inspiring girl power messages too.

This month I am joined by co-host Julie of A Hopeful Hood, and we want to hear what you're currently up to! Please link up only related posts below, and be sure to visit Julie and some others as well.

And for my favorite month to write a currently post in, I'll be back on December 6 with co-host Catherine of A Short Blonde to talk about what we're currently lighting, spending, choosing, sending, and singing.
