Fall is in the air! I love the fall weather although yesterdays winds gave my mind a bitter thought to ponder. No, the idea of toting around these two little ones in the winter wind does not thrill me at all! I am reassured however at the thought that woman all over the world do it every day and I am confident we will survive.
This past weekend my fantastic husband allowed me to go on a retreat, with my mom and several of the women family members, while he babysat. It was fabulous and stress free. First of all I took my time and hit a bunch of garage sales on my way there. It was great to find a few little treasures. I even got Elizabeth a slide which she LOVES! The whole weekend was relaxing and fun. For years I have put off learning the game hand and foot canasta because I thought it looked difficult and long. However this weekend I actually gave in and learned how to play and lo and behold I won! He He. It was a really fun game and I will enjoy playing again.

As previously mentioned Elizabeth LOVES her new slide! She does it over and over and over again. The only problem with it so far is the fact that we have had to experience some discipline due to the fact that she loves it so much she doesn’t ever want to leave it. Last night it was windy and a little cold but she didn’t mind one bit!



My cleaning frenzy has slowed down somewhat but there are still a million things I plan to thoroughly clean before little Katherine arrives. Here is a sample of my organization. I have spent far more money than I ever expected on organizational shelves! They are expensive but I suppose worth it.


Have a great day!
