This week flew by!
Week one of Eat in October was successful and dare I admit, easy. I planned dinners exclusively from the cookbook, Against All Grain, and they were all delicious. I’m hoping with week two, I can stretch our grocery budget a bit more.
After a few weeks of perfect fall weather, the temps have risen to the 80’s. The boys have been wearing shorts and t-shirts! We all seem to be getting sick in one way or another and I blame the back and forth temperatures.
The response to the second round of the Penpal Circles has been so great. We’re up to 40 new ladies already! I’ve been getting a head start on addressing envelopes and plan on shopping for the welcome packet “extras” this weekend.
I struggled through my runs this week, but got ’em done. Sometimes you just have to push through the mind games and run anyway.
During this morning’s run, I listened to a podcast that interviewed Emily Freeman and wow. So heart-stirring. I’m still processing it. If you listen to it, let me know! I’d love to compare notes. 🙂
Favorite moment of the week: on our way to soccer practice, J fell asleep. I loaded him into the stroller and he slept for a good 30 minutes by the field. All of a sudden, I watched him open his eyes, look around sleepily and then belly laugh like he’d heard the funniest joke. It was the kind of laugh that makes you chuckle yourself. I’m not sure what he had been dreaming, but what a way to wake up! My mamma heart was full.
Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend, friends!

Bookmarked the podcast for later – love your favorite moment. A baby belly laugh is an awesome thing 🙂

Your Sophia is too cute! And where did you find that print?? My household sisters from FUS would flip out if they saw it – it's our household verse. Have a good weekend!
