The Heaven's Were Smiling

Hello Friends!

TGIF!  Wow, I can't say that enough today.  This has been one of those weeks, if you know what I mean.  We have had something every day this week.  We tend to be home bodies and very much enjoy just being together.  Our many activities kept us on the run and barely seeing each other.  When I have a week like this, I'm ready to just chill. 

Speaking of weather, another warm day today keeps me in my summer digs a bit longer.  I do love this tank and it was a steal at Old Navy....$7.49.  I found it on the clearance rack and I know it'll be adorable with cardigans and jackets.  If you run out today, you just might find it as well.

 My little peanuts walked in our school's homecoming parade.  They had so much fun and the weather turned out to be perfect.  The forecast called for rain, but it turned out crystal clear.  The Lord gave us a break today and we got to enjoy a little school spirit.

Speaking of the good Lord, check out the skies from this morning.  On our drive to school, the Heaven's were smiling down upon us.  It was so pretty, we just wanted to pause and take it in.  I'm so glad I was able to get R and Little S to school and home in time to snap a photo.

Pinot on the Porch

Hello Friends!

I feel as though we are quickly saying goodbye to warm weather.  The nights are getting chilly and we are actually seeing hints of color on the trees.  We took full advantage of this gorgeous day and spent it outside.  Once the Mr. got home, we poured a glass of Pinot and chatted on the porch.

Don't take for granted these last few days of warmth.  Get out and enjoy it!  It won't be long before we'll all be bundled up again.

I DARE YOU

Hello Friends!

I'm taking on a challenge this month.  I'm joining in on the Healthy Living How To No Candy Challenge.  I know, I'm a little crazy right?  What's a girl doing giving up candy and doing it for the month of October???  I guess I just enjoy a challenge and know how good it is for me.  The last time I did this, I felt amazing.

Is anyone else ready to join this challenge?  I DARE YOU!!!!

Vanessa at Healthy Living How To has wonderful tips for being healthy and overcoming sickness with good food and exercise.  Although I can't say that I've been sick, I have experienced fatigue and chronic lower back pain.  I'm not a doctor with a diagnosis, but I do know that I feel a difference when I'm committed to eating really well and working out regularly.  For me, there is no better feeling than a day without the back ache.

Here's my Running Round-Up.  I didn't get out as much as I'd like but that's just life and I'm trying not to make excuses.  My goal next month is one more than this month.

Here's to a happy and healthy October!

Hugs,
