What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

Nothing at the moment. I need to get back to my blanket.

Looking forward to:::

Reading and relaxing. Maybe coffee with some of my momma friends  

Looking around the house:::
Scottie is watching TV in the living room and there is popcorn bits all over the floor in there. The kitchen counters are a little crazy with piles of stuff everyone just drops there that I need to pickup. Two of the cats (Ollie and Lena) are playing on the kitchen floor attacking each other while two of the dogs (Duchess and Cleo) stand at the backdoor watching. Dakota is laying in her kennel with the door open, just refusing to come out. Sometimes she'll sigh heavily letting you know she's still here and Fog is somewhere around here, angrily pouting, hopefully not peeing or pooping on things. Soon the other kids will be home and the house will be loud with children fighting and playing.

From the camera:::
My in-laws have the best sunset views from their back patio.



What I'm wearing today:::
Embroidered denim shorts and a burgundy colored v neck tshirt.

One of my simple pleasures:::
Driving around in beautiful neighborhoods looking at the flowers and colorful trees. I always look for inspiration since I badly want to paint my front door but don't know what color would work on my house.      

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Prayers for my friend who is having some health problems and prayers for a friend going through a rough divorce.

What a beautiful sunset photo! I enjoyed reading your description of looking around your house. Sounds so warm and welcoming & I have lots of those stuff piles to conquer around here today as well so I can relate to that. Hope you have a wonderful week!

That is a gorgeous sunset, wow!!!

Your look around the house sounds like mine used to be when my kids were your age. I always used to think that Mondays looked like a tornado went through during the weekend lol

I hope you have a fantastic week :)

A Lily in the Light sounds really good, I'm going to have to see if my library has a copy.

I want to repaint my door too. At our old house we had a red one and I loved it but I'm thinking something along a blueish green this time. Anything but the horrible white it is right now.

Have a great week!

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast. As I look around

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
