Taking Stock - the month of October

  The month of October through the eyes of Instagram

The months are flying by aren't they? Eight weeks until Christmas - please don't remind me! I love taking a look at each month through the eyes of Instagram and this month, I thought I would do something a little more different. Once again, this post features my month of October Instagram pictures but I also thought I would join in on Taking Stock, by Pip at Meet Me At Mikes this month. Pip shares what she calls 'Taking Stock', a great way to snapshot where you are, who you are spending time with and how you are feeling via the list below.

I thought it would be a unique way to capture life at this given point and give me some time to reflect on the month that was October.
