Today was the day we decided to finally get carving the mini pumpkin patch that was growing on the kitchen counter. D is a master carver and the kids enjoyed helping gut the pumpkins, paint, and even cut some. It's times like today that make me realize how blessed I…

Five Things: Things I’m Digging.
My new wedges from Target. I've been wearing them everywhere, seriously! I even got brave and put on a pair of trouser socks with them the other day and voila! – they're great with socks, too! Facebook. I can't get enough! Enough said. My flannel sheets. D and I have two…
