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 very special to me is a banner our oldest daughter made about a year ago. My husband picked up a Rubik's cube and ever since he has enjoyed fiddling around with it.  This weekend we were busy gathering the rest of our cloth diaper materials. -I'll post about it soon! We did enjoy some time outdoors, but most of our time was spent indoors. - Reading, cooking, organizing, puzzles, and enjoying our time spent together.

I can't believe it's already November. - I'm already starting to gather new recipes and ingredients for Thanksgiving. - I absolutely love when we're all in the kitchen together. I hope this month treats you all well. I'm sure looking forward to making new memories and accomplishing new goals. :)

Welcome new readers! So happy to have you here.

    Yum! Homemade salsa sounds so good. I want to grow my own tomatoes, I've said this for 3 years now. I like going for walks around this time of year too. The air is crisp and the leaves are fallen and crunchy. Happy Tuesday!

    How nice to make your own salsa. I've never tried that. I just saw that juice in the store this morning, they had a few flavors, I think. I was so tempted to buy some. Knowing you bought it is confirmation; I'll have to get some next time. :)
