Finding the good stuff in life!: Loving the things of fall...

I want to be in all senses of the words, All. Things. Mama.

As far back as I can remember I've wanted to be a mom, not just any mom, but the mom that stays home with her kids full time. The mom who loves even when she is not loved back, who can't breathe without thinking of her kids first. The mom who loves teaching, playing, cooking, baking, laughing, and kissing owies. The mom who is ALL THINGS MAMA. My husband and I scrimp so that dream can be fulfilled. Being a mom is not part time for me. It is something that has captured my heart. All of the going ons of my life start with thoughts of my kids. My kids consume my love and my life and I allow it because, with God's help they are the essence of what makes me a mother. This is me...

Loving the things of fall...

And here are some of the fall things going on in our world. Candlelit kitchens with cups of coffee and warm baked treats...

Caramel apple pies made of apples from a friend's backyard...

More candles and a touch of Halloween candy to make fall feel right...

And horsey rides in our pajamas...

And introducing our newest tradition of fall...

warming our hands on mom's hot mug of coffee...

She's always been my little Starbucks girl...

With autumn comes more memories and traditions. Melanie is going to be a princess this year..still pondering Eastie's costume..any ideas?
