I think it is safe to say that the lingering days of summer are gone and fall has arrived. We spent the early part of last week still seeing 70s and 80s but by the weekend the highs were in the 50s and 60s. Time to bring out the scarves, long sleeve shirts, blankets to snuggle on the couch with, and hot tea to drink!
Some yummy Pumpkin Ice Cream with Chewy Gingersnaps
For some reason this past week has been exhausting. The little guy had a few long nights, Shaun had to work Saturday, and all the regular things that happen on Sundays have me ready for a nap. 🙂 The next craft show is coming up in less than three weeks so I have to make time to start tackling those projects.

Your goals look great! One thing I really want to do next year is a craft show. 🙂
Thanks, Kate! I’m looking forward to seeing how the next craft shows go and if the ones at the holiday times are busier.
how’d you like the book? a bunch of us read it as a group (all working in Pakistan) and found it really challenging!
I’ve REALLY been enjoying the book! I still haven’t finished it yet. So many great thoughts and ideas and things to think about. Can’t wait to read more and get more applications. Did the book cause you to make changes?
