Doing well.









We're all doing well.
Our days are less hectic and we are slowly getting back to our schedule.
I'm enjoying the cooler weather. Fall weather is absolutely lovely here in Colorado.
Lately, the air is fresh and I'm enjoying the beautiful colors of fall. - It's so beautiful out.
We are enjoying baked goodies.  Preparing, warm baked oatmeal and apple crisp.
My mother was out for a short visit. -It was nice having her. She prepared a few dishes for us. During her stay, we would all sit around and chit-chat. Our oldest really enjoyed time with grandma. 
Lately, I've been experimenting with some new cloth diapers we recently purchased. I've done all my research on- detergents, cloth-safe diaper creams, and much more. So far it's pretty simple. -I think I've got the hang of it! 

Simple days, and a lot of baby-wearing- make things simple and I seem to get a lot done when doing this. And of course, I absolutely love the bonding time we share. Our oldest enjoys reading and singing to her little sister.  I must admit I'm sad to see my husband return to work soon. He has been so helpful with the girls and it was nice having him around for a month. In the past when he was in the military he was always deploying. - So now when he is home I absolutely cherish these moments. 

So lately, we're all doing well. How's life treating you? Are you also enjoying the fall weather where you live?

      Hi Mya! First, I'd like to welcome you as my new reader. I'm so happy to have you here. :) Normally I do post recipes. This one my husband actually threw together. The topping consists of- Brown sugar, butter, and oats. Just mix it all together. The center has apples between two tortillas. Bake in the oven once it is all put together. Also if you'd like, you can drizzle a simple icing on top. (powdered sugar and milk) mix until it is thick and drizzle on top. Like I said he just threw it all together. :)

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like Blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is clicked and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our fe...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
