Friends, it is nearly November! And as you can see from my opening picture, our maple tree is feeling it. In less than one week, almost all of its leaves have dropped and the world around us is looking like November. The glowing oranges, reds, and yellows are dampening into more muted versions of themselves... Continue Reading →
Week 43 In My Notebook | 2024
Although I wasn't ready for the weekend to end, I'm in a much better mental place this Monday than I was last week. The weather this weekend was chilly and windy, which made playing in the backyard extra fun for the kiddos. The warmth from our time at the firepit on Saturday evening was especially...

Week 41 In My Notebook | 2024

It was shocking to write Week 41 in today's title given that... Continue Reading →
Friday | Knitting & Reading Updates
Happy Friday! I'm publishing late today because Colton had a 7:45 appointment this morning for his covid and flu shots. His doctor was kind of enough to schedule him before her day started because he's at the beginning of a four day weekend and this would give him time to recover if he needs it.... Continue Reading →
Quotes from September | 2024
Happy Wednesday! Thanks for all the support for my covid and flu shots on Monday afternoon. I am happy to say that I've only had a slightly sore arm and no other ill effects - not even a headache. I believe my window for illness has passed so I think I escaped this round of... Continue Reading →

However, Monday is here and it's time to get going! Today I'm sharing a few pictures and... Continue Reading →
