Like everyone else I just love fall. My birthday kicks off the month of October then it’s pumpkin patches, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. And although I definitely don’t want to rush time, I think there’s less than 100 days until Christmas. Eek!! But before I get too carried away with myself, here’s some things I’m excited to do this fall. //Visit Tanganykia Wildlife Park// *repeat from Summer //Go apple picking and make a homemade apple pie// //Celebrate my big 3-0// //Visit the pumpkin patch// //Roast S’mores by the “fire”// //Dress the boys in matching Halloween pjs and take way too many pictures// //Carve pumpkins// //Decorate our house with all things Fall//…

Friday, Friday
First of all I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent sweet thoughts, prayers, and condolences on the loss of my father in-law. His funeral was Tuesday and the thing we heard from people over and over again was what a self-less and kind person he was and it is so true. We are slowly getting back into the routine of things around here and there’s a sense of peace that we didn’t have before. God is good all the time. Now let’s get to my 5 from this week! //one// I may not like the PSL or any other pumpkin flavored food for that matter, but it doesn’t…

Remembering
Earlier this week I wrote a little bit about my father in law. He passed away on Saturday night from stage 4 colon cancer. It was less than 3 weeks from when he was first diagnosed to when he passed. If that doesn’t make you appreciate time, life, and your family I don’t know what will. Please say a prayer or a few this week especially for my husband and his family as we remember and celebrate the life of a great man.

Jack’s 2nd Birthday
I’m back tracking a little bit, but I don’t want to forget to document this important life moment. Jack turned two on June 21st and we threw an Olaf themed bash. He’s still obsessed btw and I think that just may have to be his Halloween costume. I ordered the invitations on ETSY from Once Upon Adorable and I love how they turned out. Our new neighborhood has a fantastic clubhouse and pool but since we just moved into our new neighborhood, we decided to have the party at our house so family could see the new abode. The move also meant that I kept the food and decorations simple and ordered…
