Organizing...from a pro

I feel like I need an organization re-boost about twice a year- spring & fall.  Sunny Side Up frequently has great organizing tips.  I was once told by a professional organizer that if you can find what you're looking for in less than 5 minutes, then you are organized (doesn't sound so hard).  She also said that being organized doesn't always mean that it looks pretty, but that everything is in it's place.  Check out the link above for great ideas & photos of ways to get organized and STAY ORGANIZED.  I'm really liking that cute clear acrylic container she has for her nail supplies.  I might just have to get one!

We highly recommend it

We had a great time at Schnepf Farms last weekend.
Keith & I went together on a date last year and decided to take Grant this time.  He had a blast.
I love the pulled pork sandwiches & the fresh kettle corn.  YUM!
We went on a hay ride and got to see reindeer.  Grant loved the pig races.
They even have fireworks at the end of the day.
Grant slept the whole way home.

We recommend it if you're looking for a fun fall family outing.

I've been waiting for this

I've always loved when I see the nursery kids come out of class after they've had a lesson on eyes and ears.
Finally it was Grant's turn on Sunday.  Doesn't he look adorable!?

Happy Autumn!

Autumn decor goes up tonight!  

First Day of Fall Dinner tomorrow! (one day late)  I can't wait!  

We're going to have a fall fashion show after we eat.

Something Beautiful

I have a major crush on this beautiful bentwood chair,
as well as almost everything else this company has on their website.

I love finding things like this.  Too bad I don't have anywhere to put it.

Did you know there's only 21 more days until the first day of fall?!

Hooray!

(Grant, last year at this time.  He looks so tiny!)

Every year we have a First Day of Autumn Dinner at our house with my family.  This day is totally something to celebrate around these parts.  This year will be no different.  Now to come up with a yummy menu for the big event.  Any suggestions?  Do you have a favorite fall dinner or dessert?
