Our days have been filled with little joys. Pulling out holiday clothes, spending time with family, and enjoying playing in piles of fall leaves!
Throw in lots of time in the kitchen prepping for the holiday baking season and you have life lately in a nutshell!
Mordecai is very into wearing sweater vests and I am very into thrift shopping. I was so excited when I found him a little reindeer sweater vest and button-down shirt on Vinted for just $6! He has worn it a few times already. 🥹
Dakota wore Sadie’s old Thanksgiving outfit! You can see Sadie wearing it in this post.
I’ve stayed busy in the kitchen prepping my Etsy shop for the holiday season and baking for fun! I have a confession to make, though. I own more bottles of sprinkles than pieces of clothing. And I’m truly not kidding. 🤣
Lots of chocolate covered goodies, peppermint bark, and chocolate pistachio bread have graced our kitchen counters lately!
And in between all the baking, we’ve even managed to play outside a little despite the chilly November weather!
That has pretty much summed up life lately: just truckin’ along, enjoying fall, and spending lots of time in the kitchen.
Yesterday was Mordecai’s fourth birthday! I’ll be sharing all about how we celebrated our special little guy in my next post. 😊
Other Notes and Thoughts 📝
- Scripture I’m loving: Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26 🙏🏻
- Dakota was unusually cranky recently. Like inconsolable! I finally realized she was walking strangely. So I took her shoe off… and her toes were all crumpled up. Poor girl. She had officially outgrown her shoes right before my eyes. 🥲
- I am adding this book to my to-read list. This plot sounds so interesting! 👀
- Sadie had one of those squishy dumpling toys and it developed a small hole. I found it the next day with a perfectly placed bandaid. 🩹
- My mother-in-law had the kids for a couple of hours and my brain decided that the time to myself was the perfect opportunity to completely change where I keep things in our kitchen. I flip-flopped our pantry items and plates and I’m kinda loving it?! My MIL came back with the kids and I was on the floor with cereal boxes all around me like a wacko. 🤓
- Sadie and I played “Spa Day” with Dakota. She filed her nails, I clipped them, and we both painted them with Piggy Polish. It was so much fun. I can’t wait for more “spa days” as the girls get older. 💅
