currently {november edition}

cooking | i will be honest, i am not the best cook in town. however, i have really been trying! we have been enjoying my mom’s homemade soups at our house {chili, vegetable, and chicken and rice} cheese boards, and homemade pizzas. i am also loving fresh salads and fruit. i am all about some trader joe’s finds {the prices and flavors are perfect in my eyes} 


planning | our babymoon to savannah, georgia ♥  it’s very close to charlotte and i have been three times {loved it each time} and mr. monaco will be experiencing it for the first time. we will be there november 20-22 and are staying at a beautiful bed and breakfast. we are planning on taking in the beauty of the city and just doing what we feel like while there… however, i would like to maybe make a few reservations/look up some cute places to check out. any suggestions? 


smelling | well… considering i have had a terrible cold for a week now… not much. however, i could smell the dreft detergent when my mom and i washed baby monaco’s clothes last sunday and it was so wonderful. every time i open his closet this week, i can also smell the sweetness. some of my favorite smells include: fresh linen, hazelnut, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and lavender. 

appreciating | a very close family. i can literally say anything to them and i feel comfortable… and that’s a really good feeling. 


anticipating | a trip home at the end of the month and the holiday season- my very favorite of all. bring on the glitter, coziness, and love that the season entails. and of course, meeting our son in about ten {ish} weeks ♥

be sure to stop in tomorrow for another bumpdate – week thirty!!

    Are you going to be home for Thanksgiving?! We'll be in Cincinnati for the holiday. If at all possible, we should try to meet up! I know it'll be a busy time, but just maybe it could work!

    Mmm, this is the best time of year for soups, right? And a babymoon in Savannah sounds wonderful! I've never been there but I hear it's beautiful!

    So exciting! I'm sure you can't wait for baby. I think washing and folding all my little guy's clothes before he came was one of my favorite parts! (Strange, because I hate folding and putting away my laundry, ha ha) 😉 Those foods sound delicious! I think I need to try some homemade pizza myself. Have SUCH a fun babymoon! I've never been to Savannah, so no tips here, but I've heard it's beautiful!

    I love how everyone's cooking either soups or baking cookies for fall. 🙂 A B&B in Savannah sounds so romantic and charming! I've never been, but I'm sure it's lovely. I wish that my husband and I had thought to go on a babymoon! Enjoy your trip!
