Hey! Happy Wednesday! I’m gearing up to go to Connecticut for the weekend for Monarch Workshop which I am so excited for! Going to try to make some time to see some roadside attractions while I’m on the road, but we’ll see how things turn out.
This week has been packed with fun, and I really desperately needed it in my life. Pumpkin carving party, Halloween party, and an extremely elaborate pumpkin farm with everything from tube slides to a corn maze shaped like Taylor Swift’s face. This next week is going to be focused more on work, but it’s great to have balance!
What are you up to this week? Any fun Halloween activities in the works? I’ll still have internet access this weekend, but I’ll be pretty busy so I apologize if it takes a while for me to get back to you.
Did you see my post on how to make your own disposable camera installation (plus the results from a recent one I did myself in Baltimore!)? Also make sure you’re signed up for my newsletter! There’s one going out today with an exclusive offer, and just for signing up you also get access to a free mini e-course and a PDF download! Pretty sweet deal, eh?
Here are some things on my happiness list this week:
1. Reminders in alphabet beads

3. Rubber ducky races
4. Colorful doors in Baltimore
5. Pumpkin carving party (Ash’s on the left, mine on the right)

What’s on your happiness list this week?
My 3 year old son and 5 year old daughter have recently discovered the joy of square alphabet beads and have made the most hilarious jewelry with it in the past few weeks. I keep finding these little beads all. over. the. damn. place.
Hahahhaha oh my god that’s awesome I love it. What’s the best phrase you’ve seen them make so far?
“Papa Poo Poo” (or something VERY similar) – a bracelet my 3 year old son made for his dad.
Rubber ducky races! That may be the cutest thing I’ve seen all day!
RIGHT?! I thought I was going to hyperventilate from the amount of giggling I was doing!
*Hitting the apple orchard up right before the snow came * Apples all over the kitchen waiting to be made into sauce and slices to be frozen for winter pies * Catching some serious color therapy, as in fall foliage * Making a fall foliage art doll * Repairing our spring house ourselves so that we don’t have to take out another loan to get it done * Watching our boys help their dad get it done * Wearing layers again*
YES, I love all the fall related happiness! Thank you for sharing, your lists are always so beautiful!
I have you to thank for reminding me with your prompts…thanks Mary!
