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 beans and ham dish. - Green beans, potatoes, ham shank, chicken broth, onion, garlic, and a few other seasonings. -It was divine! 

This week we did some bowling. -In the kitchen, on the floor. It was so much fun. We didn't keep score. We just enjoyed our time spent together, making memories. This week we also have been planning our Thanksgiving dishes. Setting out our recipe book and picking up a few items from the store. -I'm so ready! I really enjoy Thanksgiving. - A day to be thankful, to enjoy your loved ones around the table, and all cook as a family. - I look forward to this time each year.

This week- I took out a few of my card supplies and started planning new designs. - My card shop is reopened. It's been a while and so I decided to reopen it again. -stephaniescharmingcreations
I'll create new designs soon! 

This week- my daughter wanted us to design a bracelet. We took out all the supplies and worked on creating a beaded bracelet. It was nice to have that bonding time with my oldest. At times I feel like all I do is nurse the baby and do housework. I'm slowly adjusting and finding more time for my oldest daughter and myself again. Often time’s mothers forget to focus on themselves and we as mothers must remember to take time for ourselves too!  

How did you spend your week? How's the weather where you live?

How to Transform Glass Garlic Jars into Multi-Functional Pin Cushions with Storage

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone! A while ago, I purchased some pin cushions from my local Dollar Tree and stored them away, completely forgetting about them.

DIY Holiday Decor: How to Make a Wintery Faux Foliage Bowl

Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea. The three main materials you will need for this craft are a bowl, a cork, and some wintery foliage.

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...
