1. These cookies are adorable and would be an awesome gift for the photography enthusiast in your life!
2. I loved this article: 10 Things I’ve Learned from Raising Girls. My favorite was #6: Life is a miracle. “I knew this before I had girls. But I didn’t really KNOW this. My body co-knit their bodies with the divine. Their bodies might do the same someday. Their first breaths of air, their first blinks of light (moments that are honestly quite foggy in my memory), those don’t “just happen.” There is some mystery there that makes my soul want more of it.” So beautiful.
3. We definitely won’t be accomplishing as much as we did last fall, but you know how much I love a list! Katie Bower has some great ideas on her Fall Family Fun List that I want to add for next year.
4. This DIY thumbprint pumpkin card is a darling idea for the grandparents.
5. Did you hear about 30 Memories in 30 Days Challenge? Such a great idea.
6. Next on my to-read list: The Shoemaker’s Wife: A Novel
7. I am on a cooking roll! On my list to try: Buffalo Chicken Fingers, Bacon and Cheese Quiche and Baked Apple Donuts.
8. Ever read a blog post and felt like they were speaking just to you? Or that you could have written the exact post yourself? It just happened to me. When I read this on Angie’s blog, I got goosebumps and a lump in my throat. I desperately needed the reminder that I am beautiful, no matter what size I am. Maybe you do too?
