It’s Sunday, and I have a surprise

1. There’s going to be a giveaway tomorrow — that’s always exciting. Right?

2. Taking breaks from blogging on the weekend gives me time to think of new posts for the work week since I only post 5x a week. But guess what all of you lucky, and lovely readers of mine? I’m going to do National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo for short), and post every single day for the month of November. That includes weekends! I did it last year as well, you can view all of the entries tagged under NaBloPoMo.

It all starts tomorrow.

What is everyone up to today on this Halloween day? I think I’m going to vacuum out my car and give it a good wash — even though I keep it in pretty tip-top shape as it is. I think I need to get rid of some pebbles and leaves in the foot well. I’ll have the auto shop look at that sort of thing once I put my winter tires on next month.

I like that you don’t have to completely bundle up for winter, some days you can wear shorts, where as others you can wear cute boots and pants.

I think I’m going to pack up a few things into Picnic Baskets one day this weekend and go take the Boyfriend and our dog on a surprise picnic.


I love doing special things for people and having Picnic Backpacks packed up and ready to go on a stroll through the crisp woods or even trails by the house – finding a nice dry spot to set up lunch and enjoy.

I haven’t gone on a picnic since I was a kid. Honestly, tell me doesn’t that sound incredible right now? I want to eat my lunch outside today.
