Megan and I tried a new to us bread recipe recently.

You can find the recipe here. This recipe is a keeper! Enjoy.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," Hebrews 13:5

I know it is hard to tell since the stem seems to have gotten lost!
During school time we talked about the start of fall and all the great things that would occur during fall. This wreath was made by gluing some leave cut outs to a paper plate.
Anything that involves glue is a hit with Megan!
Here is a glimpse at the fall touches around the homeplace. A berry basket filled with fabric pumpkins. (I will share tomorrow how I made these).
There is a simple wreath on the front door and some window clings. I know that they don't look great, but they are for Megan. I figure she will only be three once and she has been having tons of fun moving these all around.
As you walk up to the front door this is what greets you.
There are a few other touches of fall, but all in all I keep it pretty simple.
Happy Fall!
It is now in it's new spot in the corner of our back yard. After a paint job and little tweaking I will be sure to show you a picture of it in it's new home.
The weather has been so wonderful that we have been spending lots of time outside. Megan has been riding her bike and Chuck has been working on a tree stump. It was pulled out of the ground over the weekend and he is trying to cut it down so it can be moved. I have been spending my outside time just enjoying the change of season and doing a little reading.
As always there has been housework completed.
My little helper is always eager to lend a hand. Such a good Mama that she can hold her "baby" and still sweep! hehe
This weekend we are hoping to hit a little Fall Festival and then spend some time hanging out at home. You never know how many more outside weekends we will have, so we will be making the most of the ones we have.
I am off to hit the shower and then will be heading out to browse the craft store. Have a great weekend!
I picked four fall colors of scrapbook paper from my stash. Using Word I ran each sheet through and printed out the letters using font size 200. I then found a pattern for a maple leaf on the net and enlarged it to the size I was looking for. I then layed the leaf pattern centered over the letters and then cut out my letters into the shape of a leaf. I folded over the stem and used double stick tape to secure it over a piece of twine.
Easy to make and I am so happy with the simple way it looks.
