Fall is here!

I think I am more excited for fall this year than I have been in years past.  We've had a pretty hot summer and I'm just itching for skinny jeans, cozy sweaters and boots!  I'm feeling very festive and am excited to start some new traditions with my family.  I can't wait to make halloween crafts with the kids and to test out some new fall recipes. 

We went apple picking this past weekend which is always a fun kick-off to the changing of the season.

My mom even managed to make apple pie with the kids.  It was fall harvest festival at my favorite farm so we got to pick some apples, pet some animals and jump in a bouncy house.  I even brough home some apple cider for the hubby.

Life is about making memories.  Being present amongst the chaos.  Yes, my life is crazy busy, there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done that I would like, and I need to just accept that.  Accept it and move on, take a break from my stress and enjoy the moments.  Looking at this picture helps remind me what life is all about.  Family.

Welcome

I've decided to start blogging.....again.  As a mother, I rarely get to do something for myself.  I decided today that this can be my 'something'.  This can be a place where I post about my life as a wife and mother, and can encompass everything that I enjoy.  Everything from my family to healthy living, to fitness, to photography.  This space can hold it all.  I'm also hoping that this blog will help to hold me accountable.  Help me to be more present in my life.  And maybe start doing some of the arts and crafts I pin on pinterest!  So I am jumping back on the wagon, and hopefully finding time to stick with it.
