Simple Comforts ♥

Well here we are only two weeks into Fall and I've already gone and caught a cold.  I'm usually the last one in my family to come down with it but this year it was me who took the fall first. I suppose it was only a matter of time.  As soon as school starts back up, all sorts of contagious ailments start making their rounds.


I haven't had much of an appetite and the only thing that sounded good to me was soup so I made some.  I didn't want to make a trip to the store so I used what I found in the refrigerator and freezer.  It's a little on the skimpy side with only the basics but the broth was good which was basically all I wanted.

There's something so comforting about chicken soup.
 

While my soup simmered I made pumpkin bread. 


It's the first pumpkin-y thing of the season and it was oh so good.
I love Fall food.


Do y'all remember Mrs. Roper from Three's Company?  She was the Muu-Muu queen.  Well that's what I've felt like these last few days, the muu-muu queen.

It being gloomy and drizzly outside and having a cold are the perfect excuse for me to sport my pretty prints around the house. 


I've been trying to add some rows to this baby blanket I started long ago.  Even though I keep knitting rows and rows it grows at a snails pace.  I think I'm finally reaching the halfway point though, thank goodness.


And oh yeah...it's post season baseball time!

Yes, I admit, I am a muu-muu wearing, baseball lovin' boho mama.

The simple pleasures of life are still
 enjoyable even with the sniffles.

  8. Hi Beca, so nice to meet you. I am blog hopping from Teri's place. I enjoyed my visit. I love color too! I started Bible journaling two years ago and it has really opened my eyes up to color and the Word. I hope you can stop and visit my web home. I hope you feel better soon!

  9. Ha! Mrs. Roper! I like your muu muu.
    I'm so sorry that you have a cold. Boo. Stay warm.
    I made some similar weak chicken soup. It was okay, sometimes it's not salty enough. I'm usually not a "salt everything" person, but I guess maybe I should measure.

  10. Beca, I have not heard that Muu-Muu term in so long. LOL. I actually had one when I was pregnant for my fist daughter. When we don't feel well, we don't need to really get dressed. Good that you made yourself some soup. There's too many germs around...everywhere. Yes, it seems the start of school brings out the germs . Blessings to you, take care and get well.

  11. It's not fun to come down with a cold this early in the season! Chicken soup always makes us feel better too when colds are going around. It is nice to be warm and cozy when you're not feeling good, and the boho print dress looks very comfy! Hope you get to feeling better soon :)
