Happy Friday
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 ❤️
Gather 🍁
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 🍁

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 🍁
Teaching Time with Lego
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!!
Spring Refresh
Feeling inspired to refresh our home with a nautical beach theme for the spring into summer season. These are some of the looks that inspired me plus our recent trip to @seabrookwa . I’ve never been a blue person other then denim but I have a newfound love for navy blue this season⭐️
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.
Spring Refresh
New organizing pieces .. yay!! So excited for these to come!
.
I’m hoping to organize my cookbooks/ magazines with these and to create a more restful, organized space.
.
I have to say, I was hesitant on ordering the baskets but they are AMAZING quality! So happy I ordered them now!
.
I picked up all these pieces from @joann_stores and had them shipped. Our local store was picked over but I easily found everything online and at great prices!
Happy Valentines Day
