Eat, Drink, Relax and Sunday Morning Coffee

Fall is here and you know what is looming around the corner. (The holidays! Yikes!) But for now, let’s remind ourselves to eat, drink, relax.

As the leaves change colors and the weather cools, the cozy season of autumn encourages us to slow down and enjoy the present moment. It’s a chance to relish the flavors, aromas, and moments of tranquility before the busyness of the holiday season takes over.

Season 3 Volume 38

Thanks for joining me for Sunday Morning Coffee. This is a place to share, learn, explain, dream, and have fun. Let’s get started!

About Me

With the arrival of fall, it feels like the next few weeks are our last opportunity to savor the simple pleasures of eating, drinking, and relaxing before the whirlwind of holiday festivities begins.

Which means it’s time to eat, drink, relax.

Whether it’s sipping on a warm cup of cider, indulging in comfort foods, or simply taking a moment to unwind by the fire, fall offers a precious window of time to appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons and the joy of the here and now.

So what am I doing?

I am reading a ton. Nothing in particular but at least an hour a day. I started reading my Kindle every night before bed. It helps me relax and I love it.

I am also eating healthier. As you saw earlier this week, I am creating delicious salads and eating protein bowls almost every day.

And I am bike riding at least four times a week when I am in Ventura.

And just as important, I am trying to sleep at least seven hours a day.

And you know what?

I feel better than I have been in a long time!

Of course, I have the most adorable grandson, my two youngest sons have moved back to California, and Michael and Ellie are engaged. That might have something to do with it too!

My Latest Project

Believe it or not, I am throwing myself into holiday planning.

That said, it’s actually not that easy as I am still in the middle of a lot of fall projects.

I have five fall projects in my craft room that are started but far from done.

For my holiday projects, I am trying to modify the materials lists so I can use more of the craft supplies I already own.

And it’s going well. This year you are going to see some beautiful gingerbread houses, but they are not what you expect. There will be lots of trees, and a few driftwood projects I made from my collecting on the beach at our house.

I am also going to decorate the beach house in a fun and beautiful color palette. In a simple yet modern coastal vintage way.

Tomorrow I will be combing the beach for 40 pieces of driftwood to make a really cool Christmas tree! I will be sharing it in November sometime.

My Biggest Challenge This Week

Do you know what’s going to be here in a few weeks?

Is the Amazon Prime Big Deal Day.

What’s that?

It is two days of amazing deals that will help you start your Christmas shopping early. It’s similar to Prime Day and it’s all about amazing deals!

If you have followed me on Prime Day before then you know we share a lot of deals for three solid days. My team is already starting to get ready and we are making lists of Prime Big Day Deals we think you might like.

You could really help me if you let me know in the comments below what you might be looking for. If it’s in the Prime Big Deal Day sale, I will find it for you.

In the meantime, here are some of the Early Prime Big Day Deals below. The tree is 48% off!

Another week is behind us! I split my time between Ventura and South Pasadena and managed to get a lot done! This week I shared lots of fall decor, the mystery about the Beach House tomatoes, my favorite copper wreath, a fall salad, my favorite protein bowl recipes, and a beautiful copper pumpkin DIY.
