A joyful heart. Thankful

Lately, I'm approaching things differently. -With a joyful heart. I'm finding peace in simple things. These past few days have been busy.- But what a difference it makes when you approach things with a joyful heart. I'm learning to listen more before I speak. Handle things in a more loving approach. My days are more positive. I am able and capable of seeing things in a different light. - With a joyful heart. I'm happier and more cheerful and it's amazing finding peace in simple everyday things. On Thanksgiving we cooked, spending most of our time in the kitchen, together -which honestly in our home we do a lot of. -It was wonderful. We asked our oldest daughter what she was most thankful for. Of course, she said her family. At that moment, I looked around and saw, a baby sleeping peacefully, my husband preparing our turkey, and our oldest in the kitchen with her apron and hat on.- I  feel so blessed and beyond thankful. - We are a

Grow.

Grow my loves. Inspire, create, smile, and live a joyful life. I'll hold you in my arms. I'll cherish these moments. Read, explore, and set off for a new adventure.- Grow my loves. Remember, I'm always here... Find happiness in small things, lift one another up, and remember there's beauty in all things. You are beautiful, unique, and loved more than you will ever know.- Grow my loves. -Love, Mom

Our week.

Friday is here. - I'm thrilled. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I may sleep in on Saturday or just the fact that I absolutely love when Friday comes around. :) We made it through the week. This week treated us well. Today I woke up feeling refreshed. - I baked some pumpkin doughnuts and sat for a few enjoying a quiet and peaceful morning. This week- was a busy one. It snowed for two days and the temps dropped pretty low. We stayed inside. Keeping warm and enjoying some apple cider. I enjoy making it in the crock pot and letting it simmer throughout the day. - The house smells amazing! I've taken out all of our winter blankets and prepared the beds.  Our oldest enjoyed a few crafts on the snow days. -We added food coloring to some snow and worked on a few coloring sheets. -I'm pretty sure she enjoyed herself. I've been using our crock pot quite a bit lately. -Last night we enjoyed a green b

Cloth diaper days

We're enjoying our cloth diaper journey. It's all new to us. But we're getting the hang of it. I'm still pretty busy with nursing our little one and our oldest demanding I stop feeding her sister to play with her more! :) But now we are on a better schedule where my time with them is equally shared. What we're using : Cloth inserts G diaper pants Bum genius cloth sprayer Waterproof pail liner Wet/dry bag Spray pal splatter shield  For our homemade wipes: GroVia  -Reusable cloth diaper wipes Cj's butter cleaner (Sweet orange scent) When making our wipes. We make just enough for the day. I don't want it sitting for too long and I rather wash them when I am washing the cloth inserts. I bought 3 packets worth. -Making sure I had more than enough. When we're out and about I use the wet/dry bag. I place soiled diapers into the wet section and dry diapers remain in the zipped dry section.

Hello November. Lately

It's way cooler now. - There's a gentle breeze that fills the air. One might even say it's colder out in the evenings. Honestly, I've always enjoyed cooler weather. We're all wearing thicker coats and the little ones wear their mittens and fuzzy little hats. I've set out our snow shovels and ice scrapers. - I'm not thrilled about it, but I know soon enough we'll get some use out of it. I've cleared out my tomato plants and picked the rest of my peppers to bring in. - I'll probably add them in when we make our homemade salsa. -Or maybe even use them to spice up our tacos. Lately, I have really enjoyed blueberries. -Blueberry crumbles, blueberry crepes, blueberry sauce topped on ice cream. I’m sure you get the point!  When the air is warmer, we spend our time playing at the park. -Honestly, I really enjoy walks during this time of year. In our home, I've set out a few fall decorations. -One that is
