A quick, delicious lunch to have on hand for the rest of the week. Basically, I took Gracie's favorite things to eat and mixed them together to welcome her home from school this week. Come on Emily, time to go get Sis!

good grains salad:
2 cups french lentils
1 cup quinoa
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped parsley

{our moment}



We're joining  SouleMama for {this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, {extra}ordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your moment in the comments below.

my little gardener



Emily is taking after her sister in her pure love of gardening. I had a very proud mama moment the other day when we were invited over to a neighbor's Octoberfest party. Grace and Emily were outside admiring their yard when Emily stroked their herb garden, enhaled a deep breath and said "Ahhhhhhh, wosemawee."

wear your beads

Tomorrow is The International Day to Eradicate Poverty. Spread the word by WEARING YOUR BEADS.



Gracie made this necklace from her collection of loose beads from BeadforLife.
She wore it to school today and is now making them for her friends. It is amazing what this little girl can do with her own two helping hands.

Jasper the friendly snake

**sorry for the plethora of pictures but I am a bit camera happy after getting it back from the shop**

We had a great time with Gracie's classroom friend, Jasper, yesterday!
Swinging, drinking tea and eating kale, gardening, making magnets, and playing "baby snake."
Jasper may be the only reptile that drinks milky!






 


 Gracie had so much fun making numbers!
And Emily enjoyed helping for the number "ten" 
almost as much as she loved covering her body in stickers.

:: fall fairy garden ::

The girls and I planted our autumnal fairy garden today, full of angel amber kiss violas, crown orange pansies, champagne bubbles poppies, and bronze snapdragons. Any tall backdrop ideas would be greatly appreciated!



Let the fall fairy festivities begin!


Btw, my camera is in the shop but I am picking up a loner to hopefully capture more moments for this little space. Thank you for all the kind words about our lack of posts recently. I had no idea anyone (besides the grandmas) would honestly "miss us" so much.
