Currently

I'm a regular reader of the Jones Design Company blog and love Emily's feature called "currently" that she showcases every so often. At the end of her last edition, she asked us, her readers, what we're currently doing, so here it is...

I figured it was a great opportunity to take inventory of my life. 

Currently loving: All things pumpkin - homemade chocolate chip pumpkin muffins (recipe compliments of my friend's mom), pumpkin candle from TJ Maxx and mini, white pumpkins from the Burger Farm's Pumpkin Patch.

Currently reading: HGTV Magazine, Country Living Magazine, Marie Claire Magazine and blogs galore via my daily Bloglovin' feed.

Currently waiting for: The upcoming holiday season. I love all the festivities and holiday shopping!

Currently excited about: My new raincoat from Curate Boutique.

Currently enjoying: All fall festivities! Recently, my goddaughter, my mom and I headed to the pumpkin patch to select the perfect pumpkin. Of course, my goddaughter wanted to find and purchase the biggest one. I loved the pumpkin patch as a kid and still love it now.

Currently trying to: Live a healthier lifestyle. Eat better. Exercise more.

Currently working on: Better budgeting. Now that the wedding is over, it's time to move forward with saving for a new house. I've enjoy my four years in our current home, but am looking forward to a new decorating challenge.

Currently using: Aquaphor. I'm pretty addicted. Have been for several years. It's my go-to for lip balm.

Currently wearing: ComfortPlus heels from Payless. Don't laugh. I know ComfortPlus sounds very... mature. When I needed a last-minute pair of shoes last spring, I was completely shocked to find a comfortable, yet stylish, pair of nude, peep-toe wedges at Payless. I wore them out, so I went back to pick up another pair before they were discontinued for the season. To my surprise, I found that ComfortPlus carried other decent pairs of shoes. In addition to another pair of peep-toe wedges, I picked up black patent heels and nude patent heels. Thank goodness for the BOGO sale! I have to say these are the most comfortable heels I have worn in awhile.

Currently planning: Ben's 30th birthday party... coming in 2014.

Currently learning: Photoshop

Currently watching: After discussions with my coworkers who rave about Pretty Little Liars, I started watching it from the beginning via Netflix. I'm now hooked. I'm a couple episodes into season 2.  That leads me to the reason why I'm also watching Dancing with the Stars for the first time: Brant Daughtery. I'm also watching Hart of Dixie, The Mindy Project, Nashville and Duck Dynasty. Seems like a lot, but DVR and Netflix has changed my life.

Currently dreaming of: A vacation. A beach. A vineyard. Something.
