November 2015. A week before Thanksgiving we made a few little pom poms felt turkey crafts. The little ones seemed to have enjoyed this craft. When Thanksgiving arrived, we placed each turkey on the table for display. Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment. I would love to hear what your peaceful moment has been during the week or a peaceful memory from the past. Leave your comment below or on Google+. 

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty.  It should be offered as a gift.”  – Kate DiCamillo This peaceful moment... The girls were ready for bed. But before we could send them off to bed, we ended the night with a story. My husband read them both a story and they giggled and wriggled. We love that they enjoy us reading to them.    May their love for books continue to grow.  ❤  Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.

I took a little break from social media.  I just wanted to enjoy my family more  and take in all these beautiful moments I spend with them.  I'm back and I am ready to share our little adventures with you all. Our nights are definitely colder. Hot tea, tutu-wearing, princess parties, and autumn painting. Scattered leaves, flowers fading and the sun shining so brightly. We're all healthy and happy. I couldn't ask for more.  If you are reading this, I hope that you're enjoying this autumn season. May you continue to be blessed and happy. 

This peaceful moment... November 2015, it snowed the night before. Our oldest daughter went out and collected some snow. We used glitter, food coloring, and a few containers. We drank some cocoa and made an indoor snowman. It was a very enjoyable morning. Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.

Hello October, You have been missed dearly.  We welcomed October with cool temps. It is absolutely gorgeous out with all the autumn colors.  We had a relaxing weekend. I took out a few autumn decor pieces and arranged them around our home.  I've completely become obsessed with anything that smells like fall. I normally have my wax burners on, but lately, I've been fighting a few candles early morning and late in the evening. Since the weather is cooler, I've been leaving the windows open. I normally open them in the afternoon. This past weekend the girls painted their little pumpkins. This is something we enjoy doing every year during the first weekend of October.  I baked over the weekend. Pumpkin cookies and banana bread. I really need to use up the rest of our bananas. After all the baking was done, I enjoyed a slice of banana bread with a nice cup of coffee.  We checked out a few books for the girls at t...

This peaceful moment took place in November 2013. Cold weather, coffee brewing, and these delicious Jam cookies were in the oven baking. It was wonderful and we enjoyed them as we sipped our coffee and stayed warm indoors.  Each Thursday I will be posting a peaceful moment.

We recently took a little trip to the  Manitou Cliff Dwellings  museum. Our oldest had a field trip scheduled with some of the other students who also attend the online academy. My husband and I have visited the Cliff dwellings in the past, but this was the first visit for my oldest and her sister.  The weather was perfect out. A cool breeze and the sun peeked out from behind a few clouds. The children watched a 16-minute video on the Anasazi people. After they painted some clay bowls and we all took a tour. The tour was about two hours and the kids absolutely loved it. What a lovely adventure for all.
