I’ve been working on a few recipes for upcoming posts and these two brunch recipes were home runs! I can’t wait to share them.
No home runs here – just goooooaaaalllllsss! Mazen’s Fall soccer season has come to a close. He loved the practices and hated the scrimmages. His kick has gotten so much better – he’s good!
Check out this cute school project. Mazen is 43 inches tall, and the streamer that hangs from the bottom of his self portrait is cut to size!
Saturday night chili party! This was the Arrowhead Mills cornbread mix – pretty good and easy to whip together.
My guests brought this pumpkin pecan pie with freshly whipped cream!!!
This Star Wars play-doh set is great! It came with little moulds with which you can make elephant walkers and lightsabers. I found this one too, and it looks even better!
I have written about this Scribble and Write previously, and the stars have aligned with school and number writing because suddenly he loves the challenge of writing all the numbers and letters.
When I first moved into my house I left this window open to maximize the beautiful view, but the sun is SO harsh in the mornings that I finally caved and got a shade. I got one of the top-down-bottom-up kinds so you can just cover the sliver of sun you need. What I didn’t realize is how epic this would be as a blog prop to filter the light perfectly onto my table!
I’ve been loving gel nails so much this year, that I bought a DIY set so I can do them myself. It is amazing, and is already saving me money. I’m planning to do a post about them soon! This is my all-time favorite gel color, and I choose it 99% of the time.
Speaking of sparkles, this is my current phone wallpaper. Loving the glitz!
The Rialto from Belmont Pizza is my all-time favorite. I ate a slice of it for lunch with massaged pesto kale salad and a pear.
Spotted: this new restaurant coming to the downtown mall! (Anyone get the Gossip Girl reference?)
If only we all looked this sharp on a Saturday night 😉 M is loving his “pinstripes” a.k.a. suspenders.
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says

I love sparkly nails at the holiday season!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Omg, Mazen in suspenders is SO cute!! and I love his self portrait! Art class was my favorite growing up 🙂
Margaret says
I am looking forward to the pita pocket recipe!
By the way, I live in Charlottesville too, and I’m trying to get the word out that the local International Rescue Committee, which helps support Cville’s refugee community needs donations of household items such as dishes, utensils, bowls, pans, and also bed linens and towels. I’m going through my own possessions in order to make a donation. Items can be dropped off at their office at 609 Market St.

Love Mazen’s suspenders – how cute!
Did you get a dog, Kath?! It looks like you have a food and water bowl on the floor! 🙂
KathEats says
Wait for tomorrow’s post! 🙂

Tracy says
I love your kitchen table chairs! Will you please share where they’re from?
KathEats says
They are the Remy side chairs from RH!
Nicole D says
I’m looking to forward to finding out what DIY gel nail set you bought. I love the look of painted nails but just don’t have time to wait for a traditional mani to dry or the money for a gel manicure twice a month…..
Charlene says
Mazen looks extra adorable in those suspenders! Do you mind sharing where you got them? I might have to pick up a pair for my little guy to wear for the holidays 🙂 Thanks!
KathEats says
Karen got them! I think from an online suspender store
jill says

KathEats says
I’ll ask which one she used : )
jill says

polly says

Amanda says
