Welcome October


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 🍁

The Paddy Frog Sipper from Ronto Roasters is one of the best souvenirs from Galaxy’s Edge.

Its super affordable at around $17 which includes a drink. It has a strap so that you can wear it and it lights up..yay!

What in the world is a patty frog? You know those things Jabba the Hut eats ? Yep thats them!
.
This sipper was a blessing on our last trip because it entertained our little for hours..and that is priceless!

Seed Exchange

We went to our very first ever Seed Exchange a few weeks ago. We had no idea what to expect and was more curious to see what it was all about.
.
We showed up closer to the end and was bummed to find out we had missed the raffles so lesson learned.. show up to these as closely to the start time as possible. It also looked like there were tables with coffee and food but we were excited to get to the barn and see what the exchange was all about.


We headed to the barn and oh my! Look at all the seeds that were there! There were soooo many! We loved how they had the envelopes with the stickers for you to label the seeds and the way it was easy to navigate. They also had a separate table with packets of seeds.


We ended up getting almost all the seeds we had on our list for the year as well as many more ! Oh and they were all FREE! We will definitely do more of these and can hopefully contribute some of our own seeds .
Have you ever done a seed exchange? If you are wanting to , check out your local conservation district and see when they will be hosting one.

Amorette’s Patisserie @DisneySprings

One of our favorite things to do when we go to @disney is to try all the fun food ✨
.
Amorette’s Patisserie @disneysprings did not disappoint! It was a beautiful shop with lots of fun things to try like this Mickey Mousse that was delish as well as visually stunning❤️

We also felt the prices were perfect ranging on average from 3$-20$ .

There’s even a little alley with bistro tables where you can sit to enjoy your treats✨
