hellooooo

well, it sure has been a while since i felt bloggy. maybe it's the lack of coffee or better yet the lack of childcare. whatever the case, i guess my inspiration was on hold but low and behold christmas is back in action! before i delve into the whirlwind of the season of giving, i'd like to recap the last couple of months in a few photos...

apples, pumpkins, hayrides and leaf crafts about sums it up. tressa made a beautiful autumn collage by simply sticking leaves and such onto clear contact paper and then sandwiching the sticky sides together. one of my fav toddler crafts. somehow i lost the photos i took of our salt dough mini pumpkins us three girls made :( oh well. we also took a bunch of hook mountain hikes this fall. eden really enjoyed this one particular trail. 

i remind myself daily that being busy is a blessing and so i guess i am pretty blessed. i am so very grateful for all who are in my life, for my health and abundance. i am looking forward to the holidays. i always feel this rush of  energy in december. the lights, the giving, the baking... it's fun, isn't it?

i hope to post bit more often. i have some yummy crafts in the making and of course my annual "recipes & tidbits." this is the 5th vol.! fun stuff.
