Just thought I would post a picture from our Thanksgiving celebration at my mother-in-laws. It was so yummy and we had a great time playing games and sharing stories.  I managed to save room for desserts (yes, that is an s you see on the end of dessert!). It was a smaller group this year but that didn’t prevent my mother-in-law from setting a beautiful table. All these memories my boys will have to cherish as they grow older are so important to me.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Good morning Monday!

Hello Everyone! I am sorry for not checking in for a bit. But this time of year kind of sweeps me off my feet.  But I hope this message finds you all in good spirits.

Our room was so pretty and the service was great.

This past weekend was a fun-filled kid-free getaway for Leao and I.  We spent long overdue time with friends and relaxed.  Leao made reservations at The Revere in Boston.  It was my first time staying there and definitely not my last. It is really close to the theaters and restaurants and a block from the movie theater so it was an all around great location.

This photo was taken the next day.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love breakfast and Leao really had to convince me to get out of bed it was that comfortable! Hence the messy bed. I forgot to take a picture the first day.

We also took the opportunity to go to the movies and see the new Hunger Games.  It was great.  I really enjoyed the books and looked forward to the next movie in this series. I think they did a good job sticking to the book.

Love the billboards for this film.

We had a nice three days together before picking up the boys and it came at a great time before the holiday rush.

Well I am off but I will work on at least one more post before Thanksgiving!

Have a blessed day!

Good Morning Monday!

Wow I am feeling happy because the sun is out and it is 61 degrees on this November morning.  Can you believe it?  I am soaking up the sun through my craft room window with a great big smile. I know that the weather will turn cold again but for today I’m happy.  The sunshine feeds my soul!

Oh but my left shoulder is aching me right now. And do you know why? I can give you 55 bags of leaves as a good reason!  Leao and I raked up all the leaves for the season within two day. I usually do it in small stages because I like the excuse to be outside with the birds and fresh air. But this year, I tried something different and believe me, it was hard walking past mounds of leaves each day. That perfectionist side wanted to go rake but I held off and although I am sore, it is only for today and I am done with the leaves.

All of our leaves bagged for the season.

I even put my veggie garden to rest and dug up my dahlia bulbs for next season.

I hope you are having a great Monday! Find something to make you smile today!

New Birch Box arrived!

I signed up this summer for a monthly club called Birch box that sends me a package monthly with beauty samples in it that are somewhat tailored to my interests.  I have to say I am enjoying receiving them.  I never was a big make-up girl growing up so I never know where to go, what to buy, what is good quality etc.  So this kit really helps me peek into the beauty stuff without too much fuss.

The November Birch box arrived.

This one came with large sized samples of great beauty supplies. It has great body butter from Ayres that smells  really good.  I love blue nail polish this year so it was fun to receive thie ble color from Color Club.  What really surprised me wa the foundation which actually works for my complexion.  I haven’t tried the enzyme face wash yet but look forward to trying it.  And you know I love tea so the three bags of tea from Mighty Leaf was an added bonus.

Well I am off to do some more craftin’ but I hope you all are having a blessed day!
