Our week.













This week:

-We had a special play date. Playtime and a Halloween craft are included. My oldest was thrilled to have her friend over. They played, worked on a craft, and ate some delicious blueberry muffins made by my friend.

-Worked on decorating our pumpkins. This year instead of carving pumpkins we decorated one and dressed up the other.  It was such a fun time.

-Headed to the library. We checked out some books and attended storytime. My oldest danced and played with a few other kids. I take this time and chit-chat with a few other moms. -Ah, it's nice.

-We made pumpkin cookies. -Of course, we did, it's fall time! ;) 

-I purchased a few more cloth inserts for my cloth diapers. -So far I am absolutely loving this whole cloth diaper experience. - I'll have to post more about it soon! 

-Found a mom and baby yoga video on youtube.- Mum &Baby Yoga. Very cute video. My little one seemed to enjoy the gentle movements. :) And of course, I enjoyed the interaction between us.

This week has treated us all well. Later tonight we plan on attending the Fall Fest at our Church. They will have candy, food, hay rides, and a few other activities for everyone. What are your plans for Halloween? I'd love to hear them. :)

Hello to all my readers. And a big welcome to my new readers. -So happy to have you here.

    I'm glad you had a good week. It seems like you're settling in really well as a mom of two. I love the Mr Potato Head parts on the pumpkin, what a great idea. My mom tells me that when she was a kid, you had to use a real potato for the parts.

      Jennifer, awe thank you! It's a big adjustment. But everything seems to be falling into place. :) I'm very happy about that. That's pretty awesome about using real potatoes for the parts. -Boy how things change!

    I love cloth diapering! I didn't do it with my older boys (3 and 4) but we are with my one year old and I wish I found it earlier. Don't they just look so cute with their fluffy bums?!

    I also love the idea of decorating pumpkins instead of carving them! We haven't been very interested in pumpkins because even my oldest basically watches daddy carve. We'll have to try this next year! :)

      Kaylene! You're so right! I really wish we would have done it with our first. I absolutely love it. I'll be making a post soon on my cloth diaper experience so far. -It's been wonderful. And I agree, their fluffy bums are adorable. :) As far as the pumpkins go, give it a try! I think your kids will love decorating their pumpkins. Such a fun experience for all.

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

From Trash to Treasure: DIY Faux Stained Glass Garden Decor

 Today, I’m so excited to share a heart-centered project that turns a simple household item into an elevated piece of garden art.

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
