This is such a hard question for me 😜.. anyone else?
.
There are so many yummy fall foods! Pumpkin anything, soups and yummy breads are at the top of my list.
.
I would love to know what some of your favs are🍁comment below⬇️

We took a day off from school to enjoy a new pumpkin patch , Schilter Family Farm 🎃
.
It was so much fun! It is a beautiful location and well laid out. We were able to do the corn maze , which was Top Gun themed and the maze was cut into jets .. so cool! I really appreciated that they had a Q code of the maze so you could find your way out of there within a reasonable time . There are some mazes that I feel like we are in forever so this was a great option.
.
We also enjoyed riding the tractor . It dropped us right in front of the pumpkin patch and we were able to pick a pumpkin.



.
Another fun treat we enjoyed were some Apple cider doughnuts and a cup of yummy apple cider. Delicious! It was the perfect treat to end our time at the pumpkin patch .

Happy Friday 🍂
.
We have a day off from our normal routine today and so I am soaking in the lazy morning ,enjoying coffee in one of my fav coffee mugs,cozied up in a favorite wool throw 🍂
.
Whatever you have happening this weekend , take time to enjoy a warm cup of your favorite drink and soak in the moments that will most likely never be repeated ❤️

Having an inviting table doesn’t have to be super fancy . You can take a few things to make a beautiful setting that is practical and inviting.
.
The memories , conversations , plans, school work and sharing of life that happens around a table is immeasurable. It is essentially the hub of a home. A place to gather , cry , work out life and laugh ❤️
.
I do wonder if every grain in the wood of this table could contain all of it. Would the grain lines of the wood be darker when there were years scorched by fire or hardships ,would the grain have lines wider in years being well watered and flourishing in love or have thinner lines in years of drought ? Interesting to think about what it would hold.
.
What ever season you are in , remember it’s just that a season. Take time to enjoy your family or a friend around your table. Invite them to linger and stay a little bit longer. Savor the grain lines that are forming 🍁

Hello October 🍁
.
It’s been a bit since I have posted . Life and everything inbetween has happened the last few months and I needed to just focus on God and my Family.
.
One of the things I have learned over the last few months, is it’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to show I don’t have it together . There were moments of meeting with a friend , that my heart was so heavy I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes. I’m thankful,so thankful, for those friends who stopped to pray and didn’t push for answers . Sometimes,just sitting with a friend in their mess is exactly what they need.
.
Another thing I learned was that I can only do so much. As much as I would love to be Wonder Woman and have eight arms to do everything ,I am not. Ofcourse , trying to reconcile that with my type A attitude was the hardest.To do what I can do to the fullest each day and let everything else fall away meant there where times the list didn’t get done. The dishes were left in the sink , we had cereal for dinner or the project got put on hold. It was uncomfortable but guess what it was OK.
.
It did help me appreciate each new morning . New day , new opportunities. Appreciate the power of prayer and friends that have walked with my family .
.
No matter where you find yourself on this October day .. I pray that you will be able to live today to the fullest, let go of what needs to be let go of and connect with a friend. Life is so much better when we share it with others 🍁

Teaching time is so much fun with @lego @legoeducation ⭐️
.
They are the perfect size math manipulative and are a great way to teach the students there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

I set the clocks to different times and had the students tell me the time displayed. I then had the students set the times I called out. It was a great way to practice reading clocks and it was super easy to implement ⏱Double win!!
