I'm seriously the worst blogger ever!  The Fall has come to North Texas.  We dipped into the 50s during the day this weekend (back into the 80s this week!).  The cooler weather has brought more activities than just our normal swimming and storytime.  I'm brainstorming more indoor learning activities for me to pursue with Matilda.  We are ready for some amazing holidays----Matilda is really going to remember everything this year!

So we are here at the beginning of October.  We are almost exactly a month out from Josh's one year anniversary of heart surgery.  ONE YEAR.  Mom is at her 1 year of her Breast Cancer surgery anniversary too.  It was a busy year last year-----we are thankful to still have our loved ones!

October is Breast Cancer awareness month----please stop by my Etsy shop----I have many pink ribbon notecards for sale!!! https://www.etsy.com/shop/zenmasterlauren

Thanks for stopping by----I promise to be more active here!  Thank you

Where We Life

We went on a little drive yesterday, down a road we hadn't been down before, and it was only 3 minutes from where we live.  Here are a few things we found.

Waiting for Gertrude

Every year our glorious Elf on a Shelf, Gertrude, comes for a visit.  Last year, she had major heart surgery (like Josh did), so she stayed at the North Pole to heal and get ready for this year.  We are prepping for her arrival this year by finding special little treats for her---like this Elf Dust!! We are so excited for her to arrive at our house.  Just a few months to go!

Country Life

Some of the best things about living in the country are hearing the same owl in your neighborhood every single day and finding a beautiful new praying mantis on your door.
