Craft time at the library

Our home consisted of sniffles, coughs, and a lot of snuggle time. I'm relieved and happy to say that we are feeling much better. Lately, it's been kind of slow around here. We have been enjoying our time together and engaging in a lot of learning activities. I've come across quite a few learning websites and virtual field trip sites. (I love the fact that there are so many around) Before we all came down with a nasty cold; we enjoyed trips to the library for stories and crafts with our daughter.

Over the weekend, my husband and I cleaned out our garage. I'm really impressed with the finished results. We realized there were things we were holding onto, that really needed to go. So we swept, wiped, and organized our garage. I took some time to clean out, and also organize my laundry room. I normally fold, sort, and hang clothes up in the laundry room. I need this space to be well-organized, and clutter-free. -(Or else I'll lose my mind)

Even though I'm feeling much better, I do feel as though I still need to rest. I don't know about you, but I find it hard to sit still for a certain amount of time. I worked on a few cards this weekend. This was very time-consuming. I waited to lay our daughter down for the night, and then I got started on creating a few new cards.

Mornings, my husband spent time in the kitchen preparing us breakfast, and much-needed coffee. He always has things covered over the weekend. I did make my way into the kitchen and baked up some delicious apple caramel bread. I couldn't resist! I often get in the mood to want to bake. I also made some crock pot apple cider. It hasn't been too chilly out, but I figured it would be nice to sit and enjoy a nice cup of cider.

Lately, November has been good for us. Even though we came down with the sniffles, we are still fortunate to see a new day. I'm thankful for every chance I get to tell my loved ones, how much they truly mean to me. November has been good...

and I hope the same goes for all of you.

Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea.

Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

🎃 Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds If you're anything like me, your favorite season is Autumn, and I get excited when making fall snacks and new recipes. My family loves it when I roast pumpkin seeds for a quick and easy snack. Roasting pumpkin seeds is one of those simple pleasures that turns seasonal scraps into a crunchy, crave-worthy snack. Here's my step-by-step method—with measurements—to help you make the perfect batch. Step 1: Scoop Out the Seeds Begin by carefully using a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the top portion of your pumpkin, making your cut around the stem to create a wide enough opening for easy access to the interior. Once the top is removed, reach inside the pumpkin to extract the seeds. You can do this with your bare hands, but I prefer wearing a latex glove to keep things clean and comfortable—though this step is entirely optional. Alternatively, you can use tools like an ice cream scooper, a sturdy fork, or a specialized pumpkin seed...
