We had some emergency home repairs that finally got fixed this week, and the anxiety of waiting around for contractors (will they show up? what will they find?) had me a bit on edge. Now that it’s all completed, I’m looking forward to relaxing with a nature walk around Forest Park today with the dog and boys (they’re off school), if I can pry them away from Terraria, that is. Fall temps have arrived here in the Lou, and I’m ready to dig out the tea kettle, cozy blankets and shop online for the perfect pair of boots. What are your plans this weekend? Here are some fun links from near and far. Enjoy!

I devoured this book in 3 days and then made my husband read it. Have you read it yet?

A clever breakfast meal.

A fun date night idea to get in the Halloween spirit.

I can’t decide if these hybrid boots are cool, or if they look like you just had foot surgery.

Get your groove on at Grove Fest this weekend!

This is the most honest kid’s menu.

Yeah, it’s sweatah weathah!:))
