Pumpkin Cookies

Happy Fall, Ya'll!

Okay, I know its only the second day of September

BUT I am so excited for Fall. Pumpkins, leaves,

crisp cool mornings, sweaters, etc. are just a few

things I love about Fall. Labor Day weekend is 

when I put out my Fall decoration and to really

kick off Fall, I decided to make some cookies.

I came across this recipe on Pinterest and

was immediately intrigued. What could you

not love about pumpkins & chocolate? I 

figured it would be fun to take you along

on my pumpkin baking adventure, enjoy! 

I introduce to you, Pumpkin Chocolate 

Chip Walnut Cookies. SO GOOD!

Hi friends,

Today's post is What I'm Loving this month. I love

putting these together and sharing what I'm currently

loving right now. It's been awhile since I've shared one so 

I figured August would be a perfect month to do so. Enjoy!

Denim Skirt + Floral Wrap Top. I've 

always loved denim skirts so I was trilled

to see they are back in style. Also, I love

the way wrap tops look---very flattering.

Life Update: Anniversary, Birthday, + Farmers Market Trip

Hello everyone!

It's been awhile since I've posted on here. The month of 

July, well actually the entire Summer has flown by and 

snuck up on me. The weekends seem to be filled and

it's crazy to think August is here and Summer is

coming to end. Since July I've been super busy with

work, traveling, + celebrating. Let's begin with some

updates. Enjoy!

Update

Our ONE year wedding anniversary! Stephen & I celebrated

our one year anniversary on July 22nd. Can't believe its already

been a year. Where did the time go? We spent our actual anniversary at 

home.  I made a delicious brunch spread for us which included endless 

mimosas. We spent the day reminiscing on our wedding pictures, 

guest book, & all the wedding cards. We then picked up pizza from a local 

shop {totally a Sterling thing} and had our anniversary cake from Nothing 

Bundt Cakes--so good! A few days later we went out to eat at winery 

since our actual anniversary was a bit cloudy outside. I also purchased

these adorable gifts from Etsy! Overall it was a lovely celebration and 

I'm so blessed for my husband, xoxo.

My birthday was a few days ago and I had so much

fun celebrating! I spent the morning sipping

coffee in the cutest pj's followed by eating some yummy

 cinnamon rolls. Then I got ready and put on the most darling

sundress for a BBQ birthday with my parents! My 

husband made the most delicious brisket, it was SO good!

After our BBQ celebration we went out for ice cream.

My parents got me a few small things along with Joann

Gaines new cookbook that I can't WAIT to read + test out. 

Thank you all for making my birthday lovely!

The day before my birthday I explored downtown Granville 

Farmers Market! I've never been before and was excited to see what they 

offer. They had a lot of vendors selling veggies, fruit, jams, baked goods, 

oils, dried ingredients, flowers + more. I ended up taking home this gorgeous 

flower bouquet--how stunning?!?! It was a great Saturday morning and the 

weather was perfect! I definitely plan on coming back soon.

Hello, July!

I can't believe July is already here. How

are we already half way through Summer?!?!?!

Anyways...with July 4th coming up in a few days 

I decided to put together a little inspiration collage. 

I love dressing up for festive holidays, getting together

with family, indulging in great food, & of course watching

 all the pretty fireworks! Enjoy! 

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo
