Happy Saturday, friends! Hope
you are all enjoying your fall week/weekend. I rounded up some fun for you
today – much of it is fall-themed! Here you go!
Fall is the
season of soups! If you need some ideas for a different soup for your rotation
this year, Yvonne has you covered! I’m not sure the one with cabbage
or the ham/bean option would be fits for our household, but that doesn’t mean
YOU might not like them! All the rest sounded amazing to me! She even has a
couple of fall dessert ideas at the end of the post.
I always
find it fascinating to learn how people live when they are far from any kind of
convenience. So this story about a family living NINE HOURS
from a major grocery store absolutely caught my attention. This was quite the
stock-up-for-the-winter story. Could you live this far from civilization? I’m
not sure. It isn’t the lack of shopping that would get to me. It’s the lack of
access to emergency help that would make me so nervous!
You
know I love a good declutter! I thought this piece, which is touted for women over 40,
is just good advice no matter your age. The post talks about things you
should get rid of, and I agree with all of them. I needed to hear several of
them. I’ve been learning that if it doesn’t work or fit the way it should, don’t
keep it. Get something that does work or fit the way it should.
Scotty’s words were convicting and
comforting to me. Convicting, because I need to evaluate how I see others
around me. Comforting, because I always need the reminder of the mercy God has
when He sees me. Maybe I’m not the only one who needs the reminder (in either
direction) today?
Candace
shared her teacher-inspired fall capsule wardrobe a few weeks ago, and I’ve
been using it to inspire my own fall outfits, but now she has done a mom-inspired
wardrobe. It’s
more on the casual side, but if you need outfit ideas, check it out! I always
like her style and learn great ideas from her!
In our first year of marriage, we went up to the Chicago area to visit our friends, Frog and Jenna, since Ryan had never gotten to meet them. We went in the fall and did all sorts of fun fall things – including a pumpkin carving contest! I’m not sure I’ve carved a pumpkin since (guts aren’t really my thing) but it was SO fun that weekend! Heidi posted this quilt square pumpkin carving idea, and I think if I had a pumpkin carving event in my fall future, I might just choose this! It’s so unique!

I have been cleaning out someone's attic and house for the past few months. She is 71 and has dementia and is now in an assisted living facility. Her parents have both passed, her only sister died in a small plane crash in the 70's, and she never married/had children. To go through her belongings and see what has been saved throughout the years because they were special, and now I am throwing them away is very eye-opening. It makes you look at things differently and every time I'm there working, I want to come home and start throwing things away because, in the end, the majority of the stuff doesn't matter.
