1. The temps finally dipped a bit this week which means I am in full fall mode. In case you haven’t noticed.
2. CLUB56 (our church’s Wednesday evening 5th/6th grade group that I lead) started up again last night. Those kids are too much for words. I just love them.
3. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time I got home last night. Heck, I was ready for bed when we were starting at 7 PM. Ha!
4. Hot pumpkin oats were on the menu for breakfast this morning. Yes siree bob, they were everything I had hoped for and more.
5. I have a feeling I’m going to be a big hot tea drinker this fall and winter since I’ve decided to give up my beloved coffee. So far, I’m really diggin’ it though.
6. Janae posted about an egg salad sandwich yesterday, and I could not get my mind off of it. I was bound and determined that we were going to have egg salad sandwiches for dinner, and you bet we did. I made it with plain Greek yogurt, a little dijon mustard, and a pinch of dill. Perfect!
7. Then I wondered why I don’t make egg salad sandwiches more often until I looked up at my husband as he was choking down his sandwich. Guess that answered my question.
8. I had to pull out the good ol’ sweatpants this morning. I was chilly! I love my sweatpants. My poor husband barely sees me in anything else during the cooler months since they’re the first thing I change into when I walk in the door.
9. I just realized I have no photos for today’s post. #sorryimnotsorry
10. I hope you all have beautiful day! Make it a good one!
Questions:
- Are you in “fall mode” yet?
- Do you like egg salad?
- Am I the only one that changes into my sweatpants as soon as I walk in the door?

I am most definitely in fall mode!! It’s my favorite season of all time!!
I LOVE egg salad and recently discovered the whole substitute mayo for Greek yogurt thing an now love it even more!!’
Yes, I cannot do anything until I put sweatpants on when I get home!!
Isn’t it great? I love knowing that I’m getting an extra punch of protein in there along with the eggs!
I lovelovelove egg salad but haven’t had it in forever!! I’ve been totally craving it since Janae’s post too and am making it for lunch/dinner/haven’t decided how long I can wait for it yet!
I’m definitely a sweats-once-in-the-door girl. Wherever I’m coming from, no matter the time of day or whether I need to go out again, when I’m home, I’m wearing my comfy pants. End of story, no questions asked. They help me be calm at home and be focused out in the “real world”.
Sure am! I am so making pumpkin oats tomorrow morning now! I cannot wait.
I love egg salad but hate mayo so Greek yogurt is the perfect sub for me.
Not at all I made fun of my husband the other day because he put on jeans after work, I asked him why put on jeans if we are not leaving the house? I am in workout capris or sweats whenever I am at home.
In the summers, I have a romper made out of sweatpant material that I change into as soon as I walk in the door. In winter, I put on sweatpants. There are few things more satisfying in life.
I can’t remember the last time I had an egg salad sandwich, so I honestly don’t know if I’m a fan or not. I may have to make one soon so I can test it out.
I hadn’t had one in forever either, but it instantly sounded good to me when I saw the photo!
sweatpants or yoga pants! right when i get home!
torr always makes fun of me tho cuz i usually dont change my shirt, which usually does not match yoga pants haha
and i LOVE egg salad! I havent had one in a while either actually…
Haha I’m the same way with my shirt.
I love the feeling of fall in the air. Sweat pants for me for sure tonight!
Forget sweats, I’ve already changed into pj bottoms before the door behind me has shut!
Haha oh I do that too!
I have only had egg salad once. It was at Carnegie Deli in NYC. I loved it though! My roommate does the same thing when she gets home. Home=sweatpants/comfy clothes. I sometimes stay in my outfit, only because I don’t want to take the time to change or I just feel cute!
Comfort always wins for me!
Oh, I most definitely am in fall mode! I love egg salad sandwiches, but my husband would be exactly like yours if I served him one….haha. And I am definitely a sweat pants girl! In fact, now that I stay-at-home, I almost never wear real clothes anymore. My poor husband…
And I have a suggestion for a great fall drink if you aren’t drinking caffeine! This was my go-to when I was pregnant – decaf chai tea (I just bought the tea bag ones) with a splash of milk & honey. SO good. And fall in a cup!
Haha what’s wrong with our husbands?!
I love the chai tea idea! Thank you!
I like egg salad! That actually sounds really good — I might make that for lunch!
That’s me all over… once I get home hello sweat pants!
My old church’s kid program was called Club56, too!
I’m totally in Fall mode…jeans, sweaters, corduroys, boots, pumpkin, the whole shebang! This is coming from someone that starts the Christmas music right after Halloween and puts up the Christmas tree the week before Thanksgiving.
Hot pumpkin oats sound delicious! I need to make some of those this week!
Haha I love it! I’d totally do all of that too, but I don’t think my husband would let me.
I love egg salad made with yogurt, so freaking good. I could eat it everyday
I am definitely with you on the comfy clothes!! As soon as I get home from being out, I go straight to my room and change into them!
I love egg salad but I don’t make it very often. Not sure why…..other than the boiled eggs stinking up my house, lol!
I don’t make it very often either… I should make it more though. It’s cheap, (can be) healthy, and delicious!
I am definitely in fall mode! I love it! Give me some sweatshirts and jeans with some boots and it is perfect!
Haha Cody was so sweet to eat it anyway! I’m not a big eggsalad person myself, my brother ate them all the time growing up but the smell made me gag!
Haha he was. He will pretty much eat anything, but he has the things that he loves and doesn’t love as much (egg salad being one of them apparently). I had no idea he didn’t like egg salad much though because I’ve never made it for both of us before!
Yay for fun evenings with kiddos
I totally get tired by 7 pm too–but I don’t have a real good excuse. Haha.
And yikes- i can not choke down egg salad either. But maybe it’s b/c I’ve only ever tried it with mayo (and I hate the taste of mayo). Good idea to use GY!
I live in my sweats/gym clothes/running shorts year-round, so when I actually wear jeans, JP always comments on how “dressed up” I look!
I’m definitely in full-on fall mode–football, cool weather, changing leaves, soup for dinner most nights of the week… aaaah!
I just got some SUPER cute, comfy, fall jammies from VS. I put them on assoonasI walked in the door yesterday
Fun!! I love cute and comfy jammies!
I’m not a fan of egg salad, but I definitely had two hard boiled eggs as part of my breakfast! And I am ALL about tea lately. I prefer it to coffee, but I haven’t been drinking it lately because of the warm temps. My new tea obsession is Bigelow’s vanilla chai- sooooo good!
i like everything egg! while i don’t want summer to end, i must say – i love wearing comfy sweat pants and sweat shirts!!
It hasn’t been cold enough for me to break out the sweatpants yet, but I’m seriously looking forward to it! Mine are enormous and oh so comfy…can’t wait!
Haha, for some reason I’m not a fan of egg salad either! I guess it’s something about the texture, but I would much rather go for some tuna salad any day
Ha, my hubby is used to seeing me in sweats n’ pjs since we both change as soon as we get home from work. It may not be much to look at, but it’s good for snuggles.
Very true!
I’m a hot mess as soon as I step into the door! It has been cooling down here too. I had pumpkin oats for breakfast this am too… are you in my brain or what?? xoxo
Woo hoo for pumpkin oats!
I had pumpkin oats this morning as well!!! Yay!
Heck yes, I’m in Fall mood! So excited for all the fun recipes.
And I’ve actually never had egg salad before! I’m weird like that.
I am so ready for sweatpants and hoodie weather! Right now it’s the perfect cool, rainy afternoon here and I’m enjoying it while I take a little break from homework
My grandma used to make a killer egg salad, but I’ve never attempted. I think I’ll keep it that way.
And, well, I think you know where I stand with the whole fall thing
I sure do!
We have been leaving the windows open all night so it’s def slipper and sweatshirt time in the mornings! In a way I like it because I’m not overly hot when I blow dry my hair now!
Agreed – that is a definite plus!
I DO like egg salad, but I haven’t made it in a while! Thanks for the reminder!
I’m in Fall mode, just wish the weather would cooperate!!! I’ve been dreaming of pumpkin spice oats with cinnamon honey for breakfast tomorrow all day today.
LOVE egg salad sandwiches, thanks to the batch of hardboiled eggs I made today, now my lunch for tomorrow is solved
Ohh cinnamon honey sounds amazing!
I’ve cut back on coffee as well and have been drinking tea ALL day. It will be nicer when it’s cooler out.
I’m totally in fall mood
I love that it gets colder and that I can, as you, wear my comfy sweatpants again!! But really I can’t wait for winter…I love that time of the year..always have..don’t ask me why 
Definitely not a fan of winter!
I am in fall mode! Waiting for some cooler weather this weekend and anything with pumpkin in it. That’s cool your giving up coffee, good luck. I used to like a nice strong black tea for breakfast myself but went back to espresso.
I’m surprisingly doing great with the no coffee thing. I’ve only had like two cups in the past month and a half, so I’ll take it. It’s amazing what a baby will motivate you to do.
