HALLOWEEN

OCTOBER 31ST ! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 

Table is filled with Halloween fun and now having a daughter, the kid inside me is even worse :P

Her Costume = Cuteness and I only paid $20, which Ill probably sell for $5 like I did her costumes from last year. yes costume(s) lmao

Glow in the Dark Patches - So cute and a way to keep safe, I would have to say driving around town on Halloween is the worst.

Bags of Candy - I buy candy I don't like so I don't eat it because if I bought boxes of choc. bars, I would've had to replace it 3 times by now. No I didn't buy candy no one likes, just stuff I wouldn't get into lol

Lists - I make lists for literally everything, these are our Halloween plans. In the morning were going to the Northside Market to Trick or Treat, after lunch were going to a Bakery to decorate cookies (free and fun) and then were going around our neighborhood trick or treating. Always look up local events in your area and I'm sure you'll be surprised at all the fun and free activities to do around holiday seasons. 

Trick or Treating Bags - I have a million of them, I used to use pillow cases as a kid but heres a bag with a pumpkin on it so whatever

Pumpkin Bucket - is filled with pumpkin carving kits I've kept over the years, I have at least 6 complete sets. I don't throw things out lol

Glowing Stuff - Bracelets, Rings and Necklaces 

Fruit is getting low


Highlights of Halloween

Cookie Decorating - Tiara & Wand prize not shown :P

Homemade Applesauce from a friend :)

Something about Wednesdays

Crisp air brings new beginnings

Footprint Art - Little pumpkins - bigger pic underneath - honestly how does any parent get a good print with a toddler, I don't know how they do it lol, I got 5 decent ones out of 20

DAYYYYYCAREEEEE FORMSSSS - I'm lucky to be a stay at home mom, while a lot of mothers have to go back to work, I am fortunate enough to not worry. With that, someone once said "sometimes it's harder to stay home and raise the children" esp since this month I've seen my husband for 4 days total. In order to start new fertility treatments/keep my sanity I need to put her in daycare some of the time.

BABIES AT THE LIBRARY -  My daughter just finished the fall edition of the program :) #BabyGoals,  We will be joining the next toddler program at the library, its free and a place to interact with others her age and other mamas for me.

Kleenex - I literally havent been sick in almost 3 years, I am now

Harvest for the Hungry - Every Halloween the Food Bank collects food donations

Usual Fall Centerpiece

478 Pages

I don't talk too much about myself, life story blah.. boring I find, I'd rather show you my life through photos, it is how it is but I've worked hard to create this piece on my path through infertility to fertility.

     478 Pages and I still find myself at the beginning of my memoir, I read and reread, I need to move on. Notes that need to be applied, A little more shine needed. 

One Woman's Farm

Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world:

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;

A flash of lightening in a summer cloud,

A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream

How to Never Feel Poor

Hope is a Garden

It Was Wednesday

It's Wednesday, I prefer to fill it with things I love and a couple cups of coffee, and a rockstar ( no sugar so there)


New books for Avaia, obv Halloween ones :D Celebrate the seasons in every way

Lately I've been having a strict skin care routine and I think it's important, esp with getting older, it makes me feel so refreshed - pictured is Palmetto Derma collagen booster & restoration serum - Vitamin C & E / GOTA KOLA Extract

New Magazines are in, - I think it's just an added treat kinda thing, distraction, relaxation - whatever really. Today's Parent and Chatelaine came in last week.  Cheaper than buying in store that is for sure and I love having them around for guests to look at and they do...

Babies at the Library Sheets (Week 5) - This is our second time, she was only 9 months when we went the first time so it's a whole different experience. I love getting her out and seeing her interact with other babies :)

ONE WOMAN FARM - New read from Library, I'll just say it's awesome and show some of her pages.

SUGAR SMART EXPRESS - I'm only 3 chapters in but as a diabetic, sugar has always had an effect on my life ( actually the past couple mornings I've noticed numbness in my legs) anyway moral of the story Sugar affects all of us, and we need to have a better understanding of this "silent killer"

Autumn Centerpiece - Always have something on your table

Tattoos - Gold, Glitter , Sliver and a Sister = Fun 

He's Home

My Husband came home from course for the weekend, my table right now

Mostly all his stuff ahaha but some seeds and freshly planted succulent - I LOVE nature inside the home, it makes it refreshing. Starting to re grow the inside veggies :)

Laundry - that I need to keep up on because hes leaving again

Local Post - Important , get involved in your community, you can't attend things if you don't know whats going on. 

Fridays are for making Applesauce

My Table This Morning 7am

7 Apples
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar - I've put less and still tasted great
1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
3/4 Cup Water
1 TBSP Cinnamon
* Add Peaches, Banana's or even Veggies 
Also I love Debbie Travis Biography, even if you dont have kids its a light, humorous book about balancing life as a woman.
