Halloween Books

Our day of picture books have come and gone but I'd be remiss to not share the books that my kids have loved over the years - because I feel like seasonal picture books (and crafts!) are the best ways to make things feel 

Check these out and add a few new ones to your collection or to your library wishlist!

Halloween in the Orchard is in the same series as the gorgeous "Thanksgiving in the Woods" book and it's just everything.

Pumpkin Bars

I made these pumpkin bars last weekend and they have been a HUGE hit with my family.  The flavors were super similar to my mini pumpkin cream pies with WAY less effort.  They were really quick to put together and they're suuuuuuper delish!

ThursDAY in the Life

Last Thursday I snapped pics of our day since it was kind of a "nothing" day - with minimal activities, extras, etc. 

Homecoming is coming up next week and the middle school cheer girls have a few early-morning practices with varsity to get ready for the pep rally which means G was out the door by about 5:45 to make it to school at 6:00.  GOD BLESS DAVE who took her ;)

Amazon Lately

One of my friends at school was talking about this book and so I ordered a copy for Luke.  I'll keep you posted but it seems great and has incredible reviews.

WIWW

It's no secret that I have a "type" when it comes to my clothing choices.  I love a flowy maxi/midi dress with unique details that I can wear in all seasons.  Alone in the summer, with a jacket/cardi over it in the Fall/Winter and with flats, sneakers or sandals.  I don't mind paying for something that I know I'll wear it year after year and get a ton of wear our of it throughout the year.  I'm not sharing a bunch of pics of myself today since a lot of the things I wear are years old, so instead I'm doing a little roundup of items that I am currently wearing and some that I'm loving.

Before I get started please enjoy this text exchange from the summer when Luke and I went to host Bingo at a local assisted living residence...

... so if you're down for having a lovely elderly woman appreciate your mumu than THIS is the post for you ;) hahaha

Dancing Queen ;)

Well - it happened, y'all.  Griffin Joy got to go to her very first middle school dance as an actual middle schooler ;) Since before this girl could walk she's been with me as I've gotten things set up, danced with her brothers in the empty gym as the DJ does sound tests and has been the first one in the photo booth when the vendor wants to make sure everything is working - so this was kind of a monumental event ;)
