Thursday…

 Whether I am here, or on standby call, or called off, I am always planning to spend my Thursdays here: 

I am so thankful for my job and how it provides for my family…

homemade pop tarts…

 I wanted to find another recipe to use my fig jam with and we decided to made pop tarts with puff pastry!

They were a HUGE hit!!!

a different light…

 One of my favorite things about Fall is the coziness of it and the coziest thing of all to me is moody candle light and lamps. Eden loves putting ambiance screen savers up while we read:

Having a hot cup of coffee in my hand makes these spots even better!❤️

Quiet…

On my days off, I absolutely love being home while the kids are at school. I have been characterized as a “social introvert” where I love people but fill my cup by being alone. It feels very accurate! Here are some favorite things I’ve been enjoying:

Scrapbooking:

Crafting:

Drawing:

Arranging milk glass collections with lichen  from the cabin:

Taking walks in our neighborhood:

These moments of quiet are so special to me and I absolutely love them so much!

Friday…

 With working most Thursdays, I find that not only do I love these days with Kit, but also to plan rest after really busy days…

Here’s to a day for rest.

Grandpa Pierce would be so proud

 Kit’s grandparents loved dahlias and grew them in their garden. Our dahlias are planted around the birdhouse that Grandpa Pierce built us:

It’s so fun to have clippings to bring in the house…

Fluffy Homework Support

 Eden was finishing up her math and I came into this scene:

So so sweet…
