Two things... 1 - I NEED that potato soup slow cooker recipe 2 - I like it with the belt off. But hey, that's just my little opinion here! =) Happy Weekend!
I love americas test kitchen!!!! Plus slow cookers are the best =) Congratulations on winning the boots btw!!!!! So happy you won! I think I like the dress better with the belt off. If you were to do a little belt, I think a little thin gold one would be cute =) I used to work at J.Crew so I like putting outfits together. Happy weekend!!!
Loved this! I'm also a slow cooker fanatic and sadly we are down to the last two jars of applesauce I made using it :(. Have a great weekend! xo
Love your homemade apple sauce..and that Essie is such a pretty shade.

the slow cooker potato cheese soup looks so good!!! my husband loves potatoes and cheese. would love to see the recipe, if you don't mind :)
Yay for DIY curtians!! I bet they look fabulous. I have some curtains I want to jazz up too... maybe stripes will do the trick. :)
Homemade apple sauce sounds so good. I always buy apple sauce at the store, but I bet homemade tastes so much better.
I want a slow cooker just so I can make that soup! I bought some egg nog this week, too, but I haven't tried egg nog ice cream yet...
Homemade applesauce is the best!! Just made some a few weeks ago! :)
Oh wow!!! Soooo beautiful outfit!! Chic!! :)
I bought my first carton of egg nog too! And coffee creamer. And ice cream. Ok, I'm an egg nog nut. It is so good. You've gotta take full advantage of the season!!
OMG homemade applesauce- looks amazing! And that's awesome that you've met so many friends through blogging!

I love meeting blog friends in real life :) And then them becoming really true friends :) And I read tons of self help books for fun, so I don't judge for the political books!
The cheese soup looks delish!! and I will be buying egg nog the day after Thanksgiving :)
Oooh my goodness, the soup in the bread bowl has my mouth watering. And I so want to meet blog friends in real life. But none live close to me :(
