Bonding Together.

“cozy+smell of pancakes-alarm clock=weekend”
― Amy Krouse Rosenthal
 
The smell of rain lingers, hello morning sunlight it's so nice to see you.  There is joy and laughter among us. Once again I am at peace. :)
Weekends are spent bonding, and creating new memories as a family. We get to set aside our busy schedules we have during the week, kick back, and just enjoy each other's company more. This weekend the weather was cool. It rained, and I took out my oil burner. Our home was filled with the aroma of apple spice. (This is when I realized, I am pretty excited for autumn to arrive). What season do you enjoy the most? I'm torn between autumn, and  spring.

My daughter and I enjoyed creating art. This can even be done on ceramic plates. We used two of our ceramic coffee cups. Taking permanent markers, just create your art. After pre-heat your oven to 350, and bake for 30 minutes. As far as it washing off, we haven't had any problems with that. I have read on other sites though that they had a problem with it washing off. We are just using ours for display.
 
I hope you had a wonderful weekend creating new memories with your love ones.

    Fall is my favorite! I like spring too but not as much as fall. I just hate to be hot or cold. :)

    I'm torn between Fall and Spring being my favorite too. I am definitely a four season person though.

    Jennifer, I totally agree! I'm not one for being hot or cold. So I guess Fall just has that in between weather. :)

    Jayne, thank you! Yes you must try it some time. It's so much fun. :)

    Angela, I've been torn between those two for so long. I may be leaning more towards Fall though. It's beautiful watching the leaves change colors, and I love making hot apple cider in our crock pot.

    Thank you all for stopping by!
