Here's a little peek into our DC trip this past Aug.

Mixed Berry & Banana Baked Oatmeal

I find myself in such a rush every morning since school has started. The traffic is a little heavier making my commute to work a little longer. I still want to start off my day on the right track with a satisfying, healthy breakfast. This baked oatmeal helps me do just that. I altered the original recipe just slightly. Mixed frozen berries took the place of blueberries and when roasting the bananas I sprinkled some light brown sugar instead of honey. I also used this premixed muesli and it came out perfectly. The house smelled like a little piece of heaven as this baked in the oven. Ripe bananas, blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, honey and brown sugar... need I say more? Make a batch on Sunday and you should be good for the rest of the week.

Eleven

{via}

Eleven years ago on this day, as I was heading out of my house I remember thinking to myself 'what a beautiful day'. It almost felt as though the sun was shining a little extra bright. My bus ride to school was a shocking one to say the least. In full view of all the bus passengers was the image of the first tower being struck across the Hudson. We could not and did not want to believe our eyes. From that moment our lives as a nation have changed forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who lost a loved one on this day eleven years ago.

Oh heather grey tee how I love thee. The hubbs thinks you look like a dingy old tee shirt, but he doesn't understand. From jeans and trousers to skirts and shorts you always come through. I'll always appreciate you for your simplicity, comfort, and ability to work with anything. Heather grey tee I truly love thee.

Peter Pan Syndrome

F21 blouse, jeans, bracelets, vintage bag, Guess shoes, Fossil watch

Lately anything with a Peter Pan collar calls my name - dresses, shirts, necklaces you name it. I couldn't say no to this blouse when I saw it online. I plan on tucking it into an old pair of wool J. Crew trousers as the weather gets a little cooler.
