O' pumpkin pie, your time has come 'round again and I am autumnrifically happy! ~Terri Guillemets                         Autumn- the warm sun, the cool gentle breeze, and all the beautiful changing fall colors. I'm in love with all the beauty around us. Mornings are spent enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee with my husband. This weekend we all had a little date with nature. We set out and found a beautiful spot in the springs where we enjoyed, ourselves and took some family pictures. We enjoyed the calming sounds of the creek and the lighting was beautiful.  Lately, it's been so cool out. I've been enjoying hanging out clothes and opening up a few windows. I normally use our dryer to dry our clothes, but with this weather, it's been great for hanging laundry out. I continue to close windows once the sun goes down. It's still a bit...

Simple, fun, and hands-on play. Today I created these simple boats for floating. For this all you need- -Plastic cup (cut the top portion of the cup off) -Straws -Tape or decorative washi tape It's so easy to put together, and my daughter absolutely loved watching them float. We took a bin and filled it with water. I added one drop of blue food coloring, and there you go sail away and visit a few sea creatures. We had a blast! Enjoy~

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” ― Lauren DeStefano, Wither Well hello, sweet Autumn, I'm so thrilled you have arrived. It's been a little on the chilly side late at night, and early morning. The air is crisp, the smell of rain lingers, and I think I'm in love with having cooler days. This weekend we enjoyed chasing our daughter around, her laugh is contagious-I absolutely love her sweet, and gentle giggle. She's feeling so much better, and so we have been enjoying having her back to her old self. (Thank you for all your kind words while my daughter was recovering from a pretty nasty cold). I appreciate it so much! I finally got around to taking out some of my Fall decorations. I haven't got around to putting all of them up, but I figure I will soon.  Lately, I've been burning a few candles-Apple spice ...
