Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real {fun fall moments}

~PRETTY~
Need I explain?  Who doesn't fall in love with the jewel tones of this season?

~HAPPY~
Daddy being able to stop by for KC's school Halloween party made a small someone supremely happy!

~FUNNY~

Our three boys and our neighbor's boys coordinated their costumes without any of the adults realizing the plan.  Mario, Luigi, Waluigi and two Toads made quite a splash in the neighborhood while Trick or Treating.  All the Super Mario fans gave them kudos.

~REAL~
The irony of this moment on the deck made me laugh and I had to take a photo.  Pardon the unpainted toes - they're red now!  Thanks, Mom, for sending me the cookbook.  I love it!  Putting your feet up on a sunny afternoon on the deck while reading a gorgeous cookbook = heaven!  I highly recommend you try it yourself.

    I love the Halloween costumes! What smarties to coordinate that :) Your tree photos are great. You're right - there isn't much better than the fall colors.

    Well, I guess there are two barefoot contessas! I haven't tried any of her recipes yet, but from looking at her cookbooks, I don't think it will be long.

    I love the costumes!! Terrific! And the first photo is so pretty - I get very little depth of field with my point-and-shoots.

    Your littlest one is simply precious! Daddy-time is the best. And the Barefoot Contessa? Love her. I am actually making her roasted butternut squash tonight.... :)

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven baskets, doesn't she?       Even the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took m

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us. My wish is to inspire others to create beautiful, honest and satisfying lives. My Other Ex: Women's True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends   @A Design So Vast Unfortunately, over the past few

Savoring Summer {Staying in the Season}

The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti
