    I love your list!! I will need to include some of your ideas into our plans for the season. We are taking our children on their first big hike this fall (my oldest is 6 and my youngest is 2). They are so excited.

    Looks like you and your family are going to have a lot of fun this fall! Pumpkin bread sounds like a great idea. I may need to add that into my fall plans too.

      I love it! I found one recipe once that had a frosting similar to those found on cinnamon buns over it... yum!

    Great list. I'm a summer lover, so letting go of summer is really hard for me. Probably because our summer is so short!

      I do enjoy summer so much (it is probably my second favorite season) but fall is definitely my favorite.

Friday Favorites-- Home Improvement Edition

We had a pretty quiet week at home.  All three boys have been fighting off summer colds (or perhaps a really bad allergy flare up?! It's hard to tell).  I didn't mind spending more time at home though as I got so much done around the house.



It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day on Friday and after a quick trip to the grocery store, I kicked myself and the younger two boys outside for the day.  Ian was at work for the whole day with his dad and grandfather and I spent much of my afternoon reading a book and relaxing by the lake. I did manage to get a bit of planting and gardening done before my mom stopped by to visit with us. Relaxing days like this are why we take a summer break from schooling.




Evan asked to go for a kayak ride on Saturday.  We spent part of our morning lazing around the lake.



My husband and I went out for a date night!  I wore my new Amazon top. We said to heck with the points and ordered whatever we wanted .  For me it was steak, stuffed shrimp and mashed pot…

Encouraging Hearts and Home -- President's Day Week

-
Image
Is it awful that as a homeschooler I am generally unaware of things like Martin Luther King day and President's day?

Don't get me wrong I have taught my kids about Martin Luther King Jr and the presidents and all those other (dare I say) "little?" government holidays but I never really realize when they occur on the calendar because I just don't pay attention to them.. until we go to do something and I see kids everywhere and realize that they have no school.

We treated Monday like any other school day and even though many local schools are enjoying February vacation this week we're not.  We are so close to finishing up several of our books for the year that we just want to push on through and get our book work done so when the nice weather arrives we can spend lots of extra time outside!

How about you?  Do you take many of the school breaks off or do you set your own schedule?

Where We Stayed, Ate and Explored-- Loon Mountain Trip Part 1

-
Image
My husband and I waited until the week before Memorial Day to book a little getaway for just the two of us.  We finally settled on visiting Loon Mountain and stayed at the RiverWalk.  It was an amazing hotel!  

 We booked a studio suite.  We had a queen bed, pullout sofa, flat screen TV, a small table  chair set and even a cute little kitchenette.



The bathroom was so clean and everything in our room looked like new!



 We had a really pretty view of the mountain too from our balcony (even if we were overlooking the parking lot).


Not knowing how the weather would be, we picked this resort because of all its' amenities: a heated pool and hot tub, exercise room, arcade, on- site restaurant, spa.. the list goes on and on.  We even learned that you can ask at the front desk for games and sporting equipment!  They had two and three bedroom suites too that would have been perfect for the whole family.

Luckily we had beautiful weather all three days and spent most our time out and about ex…

When the temperatures begin to rise there is nothing I enjoy more than some freshly prepared fruit and vegetable sides to go with some grilled chicken or steak.  I was so happy to see so many tasty and healthy looking side dishes shared last week that I decided to feature them all this week.  Do you have a favorite salad recipe for the summer?  I'd love to hear all about it!
