This Week's Favorites

Hello ladies and hello Friday!

We have a relaxing weekend ahead of us...a basketball game, probably a movie and possibly horse riding (?), random but fun!

A pretty uneventful week here, but here are a few of my favorites from this week...

Favorite Quote. Still going strong on the current She Reads Truth Study {Hospitality}. A favorite quote from this week...

This is my first study to do with them and the Lord is teaching me in so many ways through it! If you need a free, challenging study, I highly recommend this one!

Favorite Song{and video}. This song is so beautiful in itself and then the video came out. Oh my... stunning. I get chills every single time.

Favorite Moment. We went to a Handball game one night this week. It is very popular here and I like to describe it as soccer but with your hands. Ha. I am very knowledgeable, if you can't tell. These ladies were tough and so impressive. It was a really fun {and different} night out! Another favorite moment was a weekend trip to Warsaw with my handsome husband, check out this beautiful city here!

Favorite Recipe. Does this not look delicious? It is not very "fall" but I think it would make a great dinner side dish!

Favorite Pin. One of my best friends is coming to visit in December and we are going to meet in London. I seriously cannot contain my excitement! This is a place I have wanted to always visit. So this post was very helpful. But, I need your help too! Have you been to London?? I need all kinds of recommendations! Especially hotels. We are trying to stay on a budget which is pretty hard to do in London. So if you have tips, please share!

I hope you each have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions!

Happy Friday!

Weekend Getaway / Warsaw, Poland

This past weekend we enjoyed a lovely few days in beautiful Warsaw. 

Robert and I really want to take advantage of his days off and travel as much as possible. After their win (!) on Friday, they got the rest of the weekend off...so a weekend getaway it was! Warsaw is the capital of Poland and only 2 1/2 hour train ride away which made for a easy journey.That made this guy very happy...

We really did not know what to expect, but as soon as we arrived we were so pleased. Warsaw is a beautiful and bustling city, it was such a pleasant surprise.

We checked into our hotel (Hotel Intercontinental...one tip? stay here!) and then chatted with the concierge to figure out our day. We first decided to hit the beautiful Łazienki Park. 

The park was about a 40 minute walk from our hotel, which we didn't mind because it was such a great way to see the city AND we stopped at the cutest french bistro (Charlotte) on the way. 

The park was breathtaking and full of every fall color you could imagine. 

We spent the afternoon walking under it's trees and soaking in it's beauty. 

And playing in the leaves!

After our visit to the park, it was time to head to our dinner reservation. The concierge at our hotel set it up for us and honestly we had no idea what to expect. But once again, so pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed our meal and wine in such an elegant ambiance, it was such a treat. If you ever find yourself in Warsaw and want to enjoy a nice dinner, Rozana is a must. After dinner we enjoyed our hotel's beautiful pool and a relaxing evening. 

The next day was spent enjoying their buffet breakfast (Roberto's favorite) and exploring Old Town. 

We had a little more time to enjoy the city before our train left so we headed to Warsaw's biggest mall (Arkadia) and enjoyed a fun afternoon of shopping and eating. 

This trip was so needed...it made me fall more in love with Poland and it's beautiful culture. 

Warsaw, thank you for a beautiful time.

Life's Little Moments {October Edition}

This weekend the husband and I took a quick weekend trip and had the best time. 

We went to Warsaw, Poland and honestly had very low expectations. But man, it was the most pleasant surprise. Fall was in full bloom there and beauty surrounded the city. It was a wonderful getaway and I will share about our adventure tomorrow!

I am pretty shocked it is already November. But it makes me pretty excited. I just love this time of year! Before I get on with this great month, I want to take a little look back at some little moments from October...a month full of lots of change and also plenty of fun. Get ready for a picture overload!

 My mom, grandmother and I took a little weekend trip to Colorado. On our agenda? Lots of snuggles! We went to visit my cousin and her growing family. It was such sweet time. My aunt had baby kitties, and oh my cuteness. Though nothing could compare to sweet baby Nora...

 We celebrated my step-dad and my step-sister's birthdays this month! It was full of balloons, plenty of dessert and lots of family time. One night we went to the Corn Maize to celebrate and totally enjoyed ourselves.

This stud has been practicing and playing all month. So amazed every day by his dedication and hard work.

We celebrated this little nuggets baptism. I mean look at that smile??

There was lots of packing and preparing for Poland. Seriously, such a task!!

 I made some easy DIY pillow covers to bring to Poland with me. A little apartment tour will be up eventually {hopefully sooner than later}.

Love me some KC and Nicholas Sparks. But this sunrise...leaves me speechless. God's majesty is all around us and it is incredible.

 I spent loads of time with family this month, preparing for my leave. And it always makes my heart so so happy.

We had a pumpkin painting party...

Watched a little stud and big stud play some football...

I even got to see my in-laws and enjoy a wonderful weekend with them before I headed out. 

I said my goodbyes. Which is never easy but we make it better with funny pictures before school and princess crowns...

And then I arrived in Poland with my love!!

And have been getting situated and cheering on the royals ever since.

I finally got to see the hubby play, we hosted a dinner and have been exploring a little of what Lublin has to offer during our time here. 

Moving is never easy, but so glad to be back with that man of mine and we are slowly but surely getting situated! Very thankful for this adventure and opportunity.

And I made these delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins...not only are they perfect for October but November too!

Too many pictures and a lot to recap about beautiful October. What a sweet and busy month!
