Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea Bright on a BudgetDella Devoted, and BYBMG!

1. Fall is officially here! I am so happy to have some cooler weather! We've even had some rain which has been so nice. I've enjoyed wearing some of my favorite cooler weather clothes, seeing the leaves starting to change color, I've already made a batch of chili, and I'm looking forward to cooking some soups.

2. My sister's birthday was last week and she requested a nanimo bar cheesecake. She always goes for unique or elaborate cakes, so this was a new recipe for me and one she found on Pinterest. I'm happy to say it was really good! Even if I did have to modify the recipe a bit! 
3. I've done a little shopping for fall decorations over the last couple of weeks. Target has had some really great stuff in their Dollar Spot. The leaf lights and the lantern were both $3, and the pumpkins were $1 each. And then we were at Michael's and my sister spotted the cute bird. It was on sale and was only $5! Target has had some really similar ones in the past, so I was surprised to find this one at Michael's.
4. Does anyone play Words With Friends? I was quite shocked when I put down this word at scored 115 points! Definitely my highest scoring word ever! Needless to say, I won that game by almost 200 points.
5. In case you missed it, I shared a book review earlier this week as well as some pictures from our trip to Mt. Rainier!
Hope you have a great weekend! Do you have any fun plans? I'm planning on putting up my fall decorations!

  1. I am terrrrrrrible at Words With Friends! And people expect me to be good at it, given my English major-ness, which makes it doubly disappointing, haha! That cake/ganache (I think?) looked sooo good in your IG story!

  2. I love that we both blogged about Target birds! I need to hit up a Michael's and check theirs out!
    I think my username on WWF is Crystal-is-awesome if you want to play!

  3. A lot of it depends on the letters you get. Thanks! The ganache was super good!

  4. That's because Target birds are the cutest! ;) I only saw the one at Michael's, it was just randomly stuck on a shelf with a bunch of other stuff, I would love to find some more! Maybe our store was just out of them? But they did have some other cute fall stuff. I just sent you a WWF game!
