Friday Faves
Another edition of my favorite things this week…๏ปฟ
It was rainyish for part of the week…we lit candles. I’m partial to this one. We also made cookies and read. Sometimes rainy days are good.
I’m leaving for South Dakota for 11 days in about a week. I’m feeling like I need to get school stuff organized now. I love doing it. I love smelling all the new books. Do you smell books?
Just me?
Ok…moving on.
There just is. Everywhere you look.
Ferns.
Little mushrooms.
Fairy terrain.

Tuesday morning we went on an impromptu hike. It was easy enough and at the end we discovered this gorgeous waterfall that you could walk under and wade in the water.
There was a guy under the rocks at the bottom of the waterfall that was cooking food.
He had a big pack.
I’m wondering if he didn’t live there.
He had sad eyes.
I wanted to go tell him God has a plan for his life, but I was too nervous.
Lame.

I prayed for him on the hike back instead. Sometimes you just get that feeling, you know?
We ate lunch on my tailgate at the end of our hike. We could hear rumbles of thunder coming. It was very ominous and spooky, but we loved it. Then a little girl in the car next to us puked. I started gagging and we left.
Good times.
We are seriously obsessed with this show. It is soooo good! It’s on Netflix…the whole series. We’re only about 4 years behind the craze, but that’s ok. We’ve got about 102 episodes to go so we’ve got our entertainment for a while.
So what was your favorite thing this week?
Have a great weekend!!

My kids are with their grandparents in PA this week. While I miss them terribly, I got around to painting a room and redecorated with some "new" (hand me down)furniture. There is no greater feeling than giving 100% to a project without the mommy guilt ๐

That hike looks amazing. And I, too, love the smell of books. I'm placing my order for our home school books for the coming year and can't wait to see what 1st grade brings us!
South Dakota!?!? Don't you dare come back and not text, lady! Cute pictures. Love the ones of the hike… cuties ๐
I'm about to order my story of the world materials this week. I am so excited! First curriculum purchase ever!! I too love book smells…it's the biggest downfall to ebooks!!
One of my favorite smells is the inside of Barnes and Noble. All those new books, fresh paper. It smells so good to me.
also a book sniffer.

weeks on our way to
Colorado….I will think
of you and the wonderful
time you will be having
with your family. I know

that time is.
Ok I'm loving the Edward
Sharpe right now that's playing….I had never heard
of them until about 2 years

started working for them
(he is a record producer/engineer,) now
they are one of my favs.
Book smelling and edward
