if you follow me on instagram, you have probably seen that we adopted a new puppy this month, baxter. this and a few other things could help to explain the silence here on the blog in may and june. baxter is a four month old lab hound mix with a sweet temperament who stole our hearts. sampson, our other baby, is still warming up to him, as he has been an only child for four years, but i think in time they will be best friends. aren’t his little spots the cutest? we are so happy to have him as part of our family now! do you have any tips for handling and introducing two dogs? it has been a really difficult two weeks with getting some bad news, but puppy cuddles are helping me get through.
lately, i am reading this book for book club. have you read it?
[natalie came to visit this month! it has rained everyday in tennessee, but we trying to spend every dry minute here.]
[at the end of may, we celebrated my husband joshua’s 29th birthday at gray’s in franklin.]
{i took a modern calligraphy course with my best friend at the skillery nashville.]
[we have been enjoying summer in nashville’s 12th south and made a stop at the biscuit love food truck.]
[we went to the outdoor movie night at the belcourt theater to watch ‘singing in the rain’]
[and of course we celebrated our wonderful father on father’s day, here is us in 1989.]
much love to everyone this weekend.

i have the best sister. in. the. world.
{sisters, madeline and natalie circa 1987}
we have been so close our whole lives, but now she is halfway across the country. to stay connected, we skype, call, and read each other’s blogs. she started a new blog this month, wild communion – go check it out! she is a super talented massage therapist and health/paleo guru. she blogs about health, wellness, and he life in houston, texas with her husband (and my brother in law). she is also the prettier sister and extrovert of the family. i can’t talk her up enough….she is my favorite.
happy halloween! the title of this post should be ‘girl stays in on halloween; hates herself.’ the weather is terrible tonight in tennessee so we will be staying in, catching up on magazines and eating inhuman amounts of candy. i am sad to say my ideas for halloween costumes will have to wait till next year-idea one and idea two.
besides tonight’s weather, i love this season. i love october. it is not only my birthday month, but the most beautiful time of year and i am sad to see it go tomorrow. to celebrate october, here are five things i love about this fall and also a little peak into this past weekend.
1. front porches (cinderella pumpkins)
2. firepits and smores
3. fireplaces filled with wood…furbabies (meet sampson!!)
4. flowers – decorative kale
5. family – my sweet cousins
a few fall links from around the web. how to cozy up your home for fall. spiced pumpkin seed recipes. thirty wonderful autumn ideas. ten halloween movies to watch tonight. festive creepy cocktails for tonight.
and check out my lovely ‘fall’ pinterest board.
all images in the post are mine. xoxo madeline
