Friday Favorites

I did it! I got a favorites post up at the appropriate time with over an hour to spare, phew! I really do love doing these blog post because I love sharing what I'm lovin' but man I've had some trouble with 'deadlines.'

Titled O, Alma Mater this post is about being an educated stay at home mom. The new school year started last week- the second beginning of the year I've miss since becoming a mom. I thought this year would be easier than last but it wasn't. I really really do miss teaching and could have had the perfect opportunity this year do a job share but the idea came up after Chris volunteered to go back to Japan come January. This post helped to knock out the lies in my head saying that I'm wasting a college degree and am not an intelligent woman.

When I came across this I got so excited for fall and Thanksgiving! I've made pumpkins pie with leaves around the crust but it was only one style and a single ring. I love the different types of leaves and how they are scattered around the pie's crust.

{THESE} Words

I by no means consider myself a well read person but I do enjoy reading. Sometimes I wish I was that person who could read a couple books a week but then I remember that there are SO many other hobbies and activities that I enjoy just as much.
