Ellie constantly wants to be outside.

A few weeks ago, I saw my first glimpse of fall in our neighborhood.

This wine is lovely. A Syrah with great peppery notes for less than $15.

Ellie lives to swing. I’ve discovered I can read while doing it, so yesterday we swung for an hour.

Matte nails are huge for fall . Buying a topcoat can breathe new life into old polishes. I used Deborah Lippman’s version. OPI has one for about half the price.
