Today

I feel like this week has already been a month long
and it's only wednesday!
anyone else feel that way???

not really sure what is taking up all of my time and energy
the physical and the mental kind

i do know for sure that it must not be the things I love
for when it is the things i truly love
i don't feel so stressed and overwhelmed

i think i have spent way to much time looking at this computer
most days i can "handle" it
seeing a totally creative mom
or an awesome photographer
but this week it seems to be getting to me
bringing me down
instead of lifting me up and inspiring me
like it should

so....today i will inspire myself
to put my family and home first
to be grateful for the people and the talents i have
and to enjoy the little things

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Fall

fall has to be my all time favorite time of year.
I love all the loveliness this little season brings
pumpkins
harvest candles
pots full of mums
crisp weather
and the promise of extra family time and holidays
right around the corner.

we love decorating for the seasons in our home.
if the girls had their way, we would have broken out the fall decor back in August.

this weekend they were smiling extra big
we put the final pumpkins in place
and our fall home is now complete

adding the colors of fall

and making my aspiring little decorators smile...

now that's lovely!

I've seen a lot of Fall loveliness out there in Blog Land.

Have you decorated for Fall yet?

Enjoy the day,

Cindy

want to see a lot more lovely?

head on over to Heather's at Blessed Little Nest

you're gonna love it there

Soccer

soccer came to an end last night
we put away our cleats and hung up our medals
both girls had amazing seasons

{I am THE worst sports photographer they are all either blurry, too far away or of the back of their heads

I need serious help...and a new camera!!!! }

they made new friends
they worked hard
they had fun
they loved every single minute of it
they especially loved all that extra time with Daddy

I will miss cheering them on
but I will not miss all those hours at the soccer field
Aubrey in the carrier begging to get down
keeping her busy
and fed
and off the field
whew...I need a medal!

tomorrow is Saturday
there is no soccer
I think we are heading to PANERA!

Happy Friday!

Enjoy the day,

Cindy
