“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”  ―  Sarah Addison Allen ,  First Frost 1. The cool air.- Ah, it's perfect and I just fall in love all over again with this Autumn weather. 2. Fall scents.- Candles, oils, sprays and spices.- Ah, it's wonderful. I'll normally use my warmer around this time. :) 3. Warm soups.- Around this time our pots and slow cooker are filled with soups. I love preparing chicken soup, or vegetable barley soup. We enjoy this time.- Every year around Halloween I make cider in our slow cooker. It's nice coming in from the cold and warming up with something so delicious. 4.Outdoor play.- In Autumn it just feels different. The cool air, kids running through leaves and parents gather and sip on warm drinks. We love tossing up leaves! It's so much fun. :) 5. Fall crafts.- Oh boy, I enjoy this so much! We gather leaves, twigs, paper, stamps, stickers and much more. My oldest daughter lo...

Fall weather has arrived. It's been cool with a gentle breeze, and I'm excited about the cooler temperatures. However, during this season, my skin and lips often become dry.   With this simple scrub recipe, your lips and body will feel soft, smooth, and stay moisturized throughout the day. I love making my own body and lip scrubs.   Here's what you'll need: - Pumpkin pie spice - Coconut oil - Sugar - Measuring spoon (1 teaspoon) - Small bowl - Airtight container   Start with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and mix together. Combine 1 teaspoon of coconut oil with the sugar and spice mixture. Mix all ingredients well. Now you're ready to transfer it to your airtight container. With this recipe, you can make extra to use as a body scrub if you'd like.  You're all done!  Enjoy~ Pin/share for later

To be little again. To wake up with no worries. Just being content and wanting to play and be free. To laugh uncontrollably and to spread your imaginary wings and fly.- Oh to be little again. I remember playing hopscotch and skating down the sidewalk with friends. We'd laugh, share stories and just enjoy being kids. We had no cares in the world. Oh what a joy it would be just to be little again. Now I watch my daughter's as they grow. I want for them to experience childhood to the fullest. Laugh, play, sing, dance... Just be.

Breakfast is made. Showers are taken.  Lessons are done.  Reading is done. - For now, that is. The laundry is washed and put away.  Dishes are washed and put away. Some playtime with the girls.- Building blocks, wagon rides, baby dolls, pretend cooking, and a few tickles here and there.  Lunch is prepared and eaten.  Naps are being taken. And here I am. Not napping, but contemplating on what I am going to do next. I purchased a few flowers. I haven't planted them yet. I'm hoping this evening I'll be able to. -Once it's a bit cooler and the clouds move in. I figured it out! I'll enjoy a nice cup of coffee and enjoy this adult coloring page I recently printed off. - It was an offer for a freebie and I couldn't pass it up. So while the girls are sleeping, I'll enjoy this time. Clearing my thoughts. Expressing my creative side.  - Just a little time...doing one of the things that I enjoy.  Welcome new read...

Morning. Sunlight. A bit of stillness. And there's a chill in the air.  The sun gently shines through the surface of blinds and through the curtains... I enjoy this time.
