Here and there.













Halloween was simple.- We had a twirling Cinderella and a tiny bumblebee buzzing through our home. Our oldest had a friend over for games and a few crafts. 
We filled our cups with cider.- This is something we do every year. 
Later, we headed out. We visited a few homes and filled their bags with sweet goodies.

 I'm still enjoying this fall weather. - The snow never did make it.  I'm happy. I'm not quite ready for snowy weather. For now, I'm enjoying the cooler weather.  We were able to try out this year's Halloween drink from Starbucks.- Frappula Frappuccino.  It was delicious.

 Little pumpkins remain on our windowsill. I'll move them soon and rearrange them on our dining table.  I've taken a few requests for Thanksgiving and so I've been making a list of new foods to prepare. 

 Things have been simple.- I like it this way. We're still taking our weekly trips to our local library. I recently checked out a craft book. Maybe I'll make something soon. - My girls keep me busy. I'll see if I can fit in a little bit of craft time. 

 I started working on finishing my little ones' scrapbooks.- I'll admit I'm behind just a little.  Things tend to get a bit hectic around here.- I'm fine with that. For now, I'll enjoy these simple moments with my family. 

 Thank you all for your sweet comments on both my blog and Google+. I'm so happy you all enjoyed my post on my pumpkin doughnuts. They were delicious and really just hit the spot! I hope you were able to try out my recipe. 

 Thank you all for following along on my blogging journey. I appreciate all of you!

    I'm hoping to have my girls photo scrap books caught up with Christmas. I am not a Starbucks person but that drink up there looks delicious! They still have it? As always love your photos.

      Angela, thank you! The Starbucks drink was available for a day or two after Halloween. -But I'm sure if you go to your local Starbucks and tell them you want that drink made, they can do it. ( They even have a secret menu) :)

Budget-Friendly Spring Frame Decor with Faux Flowers

There’s something truly wonderful about transforming the simplest craft supplies into a soft, delicate piece of décor.

It reminded me of my love for quick projects that utilize materials we already have on hand.    I had a few leftover faux flowers from a previous craft , and instead of putting them away again, I thought, “Why not add a touch of spring magic to this frame? ”    It’s one of those easy, no-stress projects that is calming to create and instantly brightens up any space. With just a few snips and some hot glue, that plain frame transforms into something soft, pretty, and perfectly suited for the season.

Lately: Things That Have Made My Heart Happy

Lately, I’ve been holding onto the small things—the gentle, unexpected moments that slip in between the busy ones and remind me how much beauty there is in simply being here, together. We’re almost stepping into April, and even though this month has brought its share of mishaps and little detours, it has also offered us so many soft, shining memories. The kind that settle in quietly and stay. These are the moments that have made my heart happy… Welcoming Spring With Fresh Flowers One morning at the market, I picked up a small bundle of spring flowers—nothing extravagant, just simple blooms in soft colors that felt like a whisper of the season ahead. Bringing them home and placing them on the table instantly brightened the whole space. It felt like inviting spring inside, letting a little bit of newness and hope settle into our everyday rhythm. Sunsets That Slow the World Down Evening after evening, the sky has been putting on a show—warm gold melting into rose, fading into deep violet....
