{via Julien Douviar}

For the first time in what seems like forever, we are back home! While it has been an incredible few months filled with family and friends and weddings and reunions and celebrations, I am so so so excited to have zero items on our agenda for a while. (I actually did a little happy dance when I put away my suitcase yesterday.) This weekend will be spent cleaning, organizing, cooking, baking, writing, running…and possibly a little pumpkin-patching. You know, all the things that will get my mind right again. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

1) I have a weak spot for cinemagraphs, and these by Julien Douviar are just lovely. (via mymodernmet.com)

2) Now that it is officially fall, I’m ready to dive head first into warm bowls of edible goodness. First up: Tuscan Kale and Pumpkin Seed Risotto (cupcakesandcashmere.com)

3) Travel tips from my spirit animal, Anthony Bourdain. (via esquire.com)

4) I am always a sucker for pretty packaging, but I never thought about how color influences my shopping cart. (via thekitchn.com)

5) Ask Lena Dunham: the only advice this girl – or any girl – will ever need. #asklena (via joannagoddard.blogspot.com)
