The other day my husband surprised me.
With a “just because I love you” gift.
Eeeeeeee!
Those are my absolute favorite kind of gifts. I felt special. And loved.
And I am still smiling as I type this.
Love you honey!!!

Then, a few days later this same sweet husband casually mentioned:

“You should start writing again”

“But I don’t have anything good to say. I have writers block” I whined.

“Maybe you should open your bible” was his answer.

Ouch. Like really ouch.

1. Yesterday my dear friend Miranda came over and taught me how to make homemade salsa. It is delicious and surprisingly way easier than I thought. I have definitely caught the canning bug. I loved making it! And yes, I did a great job as a paparazzi and there will be a post all about our adventure coming soon.

2. We have been enjoying wonderful lazy fall days. Collecting leaves. Seeing the beauty around us. Making pumpkin muffins and cookies. I can’t tell you happy fall makes me. I love the colors, smells and tastes of fall. It is by far my favorite season.

A few years ago we received a HUGE set of playdough. HUGE.
After that we always seemed to have plenty to go around. Somehow, though, over time the colors “magically” got mixed together and some of the lids didn’t get put on properly. My three year old was also really good at getting into the playdough no matter how hard I tried to “hide” it. It’s like she could just sniff it out and on more than one occasion I found her in a sea of playdough. Fun times.
