Friday Roundup

Boy September just flew by! I cannot believe we are already in October with the leaves falling and crisp weather. Next week Curtis and I will be heading to Portland so I can attend The Hello Sessions! It will also be a nice getaway for us and we will still make it back for Thanksgiving on Monday (in Canada).

I’ve been making a list of where to eat, what to see and where to shop in Portland. Does anyone have recommendations for our trip? Any must eats?

As it is October 2 today, this quote is very fitting on how I feel:
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
