Gratitude

This time of year is all about gratitude – I am most thankful for is my family. The fact that I get to wake up everyday and see these two beautiful, smiling faces makes me the happiest wife + mother in the world. They are the most perfect part of my life. Fact.

Have a Lovely Weekend + A Few Green Things

Hello, Friends. How was your week? Have you made your Thanksgiving plans? We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and the mister is still planning the menu – I am in charge of dessert. I am thinking of making miniature organic pies – it sounds like a fun way to spend the morning with Eben. Agree?

While I ponder the types of pies that we will make, here are a few green things to make you smile:

– After falling while hiking, a photographer gets his shot!
– If I ever visit Poland, I have to see the Crooked Forest.
– This owl is adorable!
– This simple conversation with a grandfather, amazing. [Well done, J]
– I want to harvest this felt play food!

Have a cozy weekend, I will see you back here on Monday.
