Happy Easter! Handmade Easter Cards

Yes, I know I have the wrong weekend, but I did make Easter cards this year for my guys.

It's hard to keep from being "too girly" so I try to stick to yellows, oranges, and blues with classic images of chicks, bunnies, and baskets.

Friday Favorites: It's Officially Fall

Image
 It's official; summer has ended and fall is here.  We've had lots of cool mornings and evenings and I've begun putting away all the summer things.  Here are a few highlights from our week. We met up with friends of ours to go hiking on Friday and after a few false starts we ended up hiking at Bigelow Hollow.  We saw SO MANY little newts all over the place.  Seriously we had to watch the trail as we saw well over a dozen of them.  They were so cute and some of them were so small. My friend brought me some beautiful flowers as a sorry for mixing up our hike and not getting to hike Mt. Wachusett.  She didn't need to do that but wow were they beautiful and so colorful! Saturday Alec's karate studio had a demonstration at a local craft fair right near the falls.  It was such a fun way to start our weekend.  The whole studio did a great job showing off their skills and we walked around the fair for a bit.  Then my husband and I sat around near the falls talking waiting f

Friday Favorites: The First Week of October

Image
 Despite having to cancel our weekend plans last weekend (my husband and I were going to spent 3 days in Vermont) we still had a great week!  We're hoping to squeeze in one last trip up north before winter but we'll see... Our calendar is filling up fast.  We turned our attention to some home improvement projects instead and enjoyed some really wonderful fall weather this week. Friday afternoon Evan and I headed out hiking with our hiking group; we had 4 families show up! This was the largest group hike we've had since the pandemic started and it was nice to see some new faces.  It was such a beautiful day for a hike too. Before taking Alec to karate on Saturday, my husband and I headed to Lowe's to pick out a new sink faucet and some new shower faucets.  I was so excited to tackle this mini master bath update... but it really turned into a PROJECT by the end of the weekend and we still don't have everything together yet.  I am loving the new faucets and having 2 sh

Friday Favorites: Fabulous Fall

Image
 We enjoyed a fabulous week of fall! The weather was perfect, the kids were happy (even when I took their annual photos!), we ate lots of yummy treats.. what could be better? We had beautiful hiking weather this week!  We led a hike through Pulaski state park on Friday.  Evan was the only one able to come with me and we had a good time.  One new family showed up and I recognized the girl as someone who went to the same high school as me.  We had a fun time catching up.  Alec, Evan and I went hiking on Monday at Mashamoquet. Evan and I went hiking at the state park on Wednesday.  Then Evan and I finished up our week hiking at the Dam Though we had to turn around after 30 minutes since the bridge was washed out. Alec brought home some delicious treats on Friday; including this apple tart he made!  Alec didn't have karate on Saturday so we spent most of our day baking.  He made apple pie cookies while I whipped up a batch of pumpkin scones (I shared this recipe earlier this week ).
