I Love You, Boots
While I wish I could wear a cute scarf or fuzzy sweater some days, I am grateful for the warmth because it makes my morning walk with Sadie much more enjoyable. Walking her with cold air whipping around my face = no fun.
This morning Sadie was in true crazy-dog mode, picking up each and every piece of trash, then looking at me as if to say “Look, Mom! A treasure!” I knew our normal 40 minute loop wouldn’t cut it today, so while I was preparing my breakfast, I let her out back to hunt for lizards.
"Ooooh lizards... Come out, come out wherever you are!"
"Stop taking my picture and come help me, Mom!"
She didn’t catch any lizards this morning. Next time, Sadie!
After a good workout and fun doggie play time, I was ready for mah breakfast! Hot oatmeal sounded perfect and since I’ve had a box of Kashi instant creamy vanilla oats sittin’ pretty in my pantry for months, I decided to prepare a packet.
Kashi Creamy Vanilla Oats
I dumped the dry mixture into my bowl, added water and microwaved it until I got a thick and creamy bowl of oats.

I added a heaping spoonful of pumpkin mixed with a quarter of a scoop of cinnamon protein powder to the oats and stirred away.

Eventually I had a vibrant bowl of cinnamon vanilla pumpkin oats!

Last night during our trip to Whole Foods, I picked up a box of Mighty Leaf chocolate mint truffle tea that was anxious to try this morning as part of my breakfast.

I love the intricate tea bags!

After admiring the wonderful craftsmanship on the tea bags, I got around to actually brewing a cup.

My super-hot breakfast hit the spot!

Thanks for checking out my blog.
I love those boots – if you lived here in Boston you could wear them already…
I’m not sure that’s a good thing. You’ll have to give us a fashion shoot when you do get to wear them.
Did you like that tea? I am not really a tea fan. It is never sweet enough for me. I am always looking for yummy teas that I would like!
it’s very yummy, but i wouldn’t say it’s very sweet. you should look into apple teas. they always seem to be on the sweeter side to me.
Lemon grass/mint! So warm, cosy, and comforting!
Oh and btw – I’ve been wearing boots since the first official day of fall – which was about 3 weeks ago! I say go for it, even if it is a record breaking 99 degrees out-just wear them with a cute dress. xoxo
I love chai tea. And I just bought some gingerbread tea and some sugar cookie tea that I am oh so anxious to taste. Yum!
wooooow – where’d you get those flavors??? they sounds amazing.
I am a tea lover! I have at least 5 in my desk but my favorites are Good Earth Sweet and Spicy and Might Leaf Vanilla Bean.
yum that tea looks great! my mom is a coffee distributer and tea too, only mighty leaf and we havev SO MUCH in my house all the time its insane! I will haev to tell her to bring home some of that kind!
your oats look fantastic! I have had that kashi oatmeal before, wasnt too impressed it made a skimpy little bowl in my opinion, BUT the flavor looks like it would be so much better with that pumpkin mixed in!! 🙂
That’s it!! I am getting some LC cheese at the store today! I have seen it on just about everyones blog lately and I havent had it in a while!
I am back-reading your blogs. Found you on skinnyrunner’s blog and LOVE yours. You have such personality in your writing. Anyway-I love the boots above. Who made them? Do you remember? Thanks!
yep! they’re made by miss me. i think i got them online at urbanog.com???
