Days go by...

♥ My garden continues to thrive. 

♥ Peppers are on the way. --I'll add them to sandwiches, salads, and more! 


♥ Baby is now 11 months. Oh my! She's growing so fast. I'm still nursing and I am so very thankful. She's been enjoying some yogurt topped with pureed peaches. --Ah, she's in love. 


♥ New recipes. Ah, yes I enjoy baking. Recently made a batch of these yummy banana-peanut butter cookies. 

 ♥  They were absolutely delicious. 


♥ Our oldest daughter really enjoys coloring. I enjoy that time as well. I sit and watch her color so peacefully. --She doesn't know this, but when I watch her...I often think about all the amazing things she'll do when she's older. I'm already so amazed by her. 




♥ Block building is very popular in our home. Our littlest one is starting to enjoy this time building blocks with her sister.

    Those cookies look delicious, anything with bananas I always seem to enjoy. I think the same thing when I watch my children color - the simplest things just warm my heart! :)

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.

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...
