This weekend we put up our Christmas tree and it took all the energy I had not to quit in the middle of it. Don't get me wrong, readers, I luurrve Christmas decorating {after all, it's my favorite holiday} but I kind of lost my motivation mid-way because I tend to get bored of looking at the same ornaments year after year. We kind of wanted to get new ones this year, but couldn't stomach paying the insane amount some of these stores are asking {of course, the beautiful ones are the most expensive} so I chalked it up and just decided to use the same ones and to change it up slightly we did a monochromatic color this year instead of using combo colors. The new ornaments will have to wait until next year when we move into our new place. I'll try and take photos of the tree later on this week to show you. On a more successful note, it's always good when you are pulling out the Christmas storage and find brand new Christmas cards you totally forgot you bought last year. Score! For those of you who decorated a tree this year, what color scheme did you go with?

The hubs and I had no set plans this past Saturday (very rare for us) and with the weather being the perfect picture of Fall, we opted to do one of our favorite activities - trek around the city in search of a great brunch spot. I normally populate my iPhone's Notes with a list of places to try out, and have had Clinton St. Baking Company on said list since I can remember. We've attempted to eat here a few times in the recent past but the restaurant's normal 1 1/2 hour wait never really agreed with our hungry bellies. This past weekend my craving for blueberry pancakes won out, so we bit the bullet, and headed to see what all the rave was about. They are known for the best blueberry pancakes in the city and let me just say, they totally live up to the hype and were so worth the wait! Their portions are very generous; Hubs had their drool-worthy Brioche French Toast so needless to say we didn't have an appetite until well into dinner time. The weather was perfect, the company was amazing, and my indigo colored denim fit the occasion perfectly.
