The Pumpkin Patch
The kids had off on Monday, so we took advantage of a free day and headed to the pumpkin patch. Some years we’re sweating, some years we’re freezing. This year was perfectly fallish. We like to start our time at the pumpkin patch by getting dirty and dusty and full of corn kernels. I feel Read More
Monday Motivation
My sister sent this yesterday morning, and I absolutely love it. We live in a society where we are constantly bombarded with perfect pictures. Immaculate, exquisitely decorated homes.

Homecoming Week
The kids love homecoming week. Dress up days, fun activities, cute decorations…what’s not to love? The whiteout/white lie at the middle and high school was probably my favorite. The schools changed things up this year and had all the elementary students walk in the homecoming parade, and there was no candy throwing. They weren’t fans Read More

Favorite picture: Tuesday was a crazy weather day. One minute it was sunny, the next it was pouring. As we were driving we could see areas that were getting rain while we were in the sun. You were hot, then you were cold. We saw an incredible sunset in one direction and a circular storm Read More
