How was your Labor Day? I hope it was wonderfully relaxing and fun. Ours was great as well! We did a day of errands and shopping and two days of lazy relaxing around the house. It was perfect! A few more things to tell you about:
MAKING. Through the wonder of the Internet, I stumbled on this creative girl. She has a bunch of scrapbook how-to videos and I swear to you, M and I watched about three in a row, just oohing and ahhing over her pages. Shimelle inspired me so much that I actually pulled out some 12×12 papers and tried my own. So fun! (And hurray for making some progress on my neglected pictures from the first four years of marriage!)
BAKING. Over the weekend, we purchased a bread machine! My mom found an amazing deal. We go through a lot of bread around here (the boys are big fans of a good ol’ PB & J), so it will be so nice to have bread without all of the preservatives. We tried this recipe and I actually had to made it TWICE yesterday!
READING. I finished Heaven is For Real last week. It was a good, easy read and gave me a lot to think about. Talk about childlike faith! My new book is Love Walked In. I grabbed it (mostly because I liked the cover…do you ever do that?) when we were browsing through Border’s closing sale. 60-80% off! I was in heaven. I also picked up In Defense of Food for the husband…he’s already a quarter of the way through, so it must be good.
LEARNING. We are into week two of Apples and going strong. Yesterday, M went on a “Daddy Date” to the grocery store and picked out four different types. When they came home, we had a family taste test…so much fun. I’ll be sharing more of our Apple Unit soon.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
