Outside my window …<\/h2>\n

It is mid-October, and I wore shorts on Saturday. Today, the air has shifted, and it feels much more like October. The leaves have not been as vibrant this year, and I don’t know why. Every bright red and vivid orange tree I see makes me smile.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanking God for …<\/h2>\n

* The month of October … my favorite
\n* Beautiful fall weather … it seems like the fall is taking its time
\n* Bright fall leaves
\n* Orange pumpkins everywhere
\n* A short school week
\n* This girl:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Praying\u00a0for …<\/h2>\n

* A decision my husband is currently discerning
\n* The joys and struggles that are facing my children
\n* Healing from my inflammation
\n* A big project WINE<\/a> is working on<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pondering …<\/h2>\n

31 Days With Mary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is Day 12! At the Catholic school where my daughter’s volleyball tournament was held this weekend, I spotted this beautiful work\u00a0of art. And I had to include it in my 31-day series. I have really been enjoying blogging every day about Our Blessed Mother. It has brought her into my mind and heart in a more intentional way. She is everywhere and always near, and I am so grateful for her yes<\/em>, and that it\u00a0includes being my mama.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listening to …<\/h2>\n

Only a few months after we got our (current) van, the CD player broke. That was three years ago. Just this week, my daughter put a CD in the van’s DVD player, and viola! We now can play CDs in our van again.<\/p>\n

This week, I have been listening to some of our family’s favorites: The Okee Dokie Brothers’ Can You Canoe?<\/em><\/a> and everything by\u00a0Sythian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, I just attended a special WINE: Women in the New Evangelization<\/a> event with singer\/songwriter Marie Miller<\/a>. It was a fabulous evening, and I am enjoying her CD<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4622\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reading …<\/h2>\n

I just finished Stay With Me<\/em><\/a> by Carolyn Astfalk, and I had the honor of reviewing it on my blog last week. Part of my review included a giveaway, and the winner is Stephanie Landsem<\/strong>! Congrats, Stephanie!<\/p>\n

I am reading a number of cookbooks pertaining to the Paleo diet and Autoimmune Protocol.<\/p>\n

I also just started Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Gretchen Rubin. I think I will try to listen to this one, as I begin working on some knitting projects.<\/p>\n

Up next is Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World<\/em><\/a> by Emily Freeman and Word by Word: Slowing Down With the Hail Mary<\/em><\/a>, edited by Sarah Reinhard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around the house …<\/h2>\n

Over the weekend, I power-cleaned the main floor of my home. It was so out-of-control. I also got out all of my fall decorations. I love decorating for fall probably more than I like decorating for Christmas, because I get to keep the decor up so much longer\u2014through Thanksgiving weekend. The colors are some of my favorites, too, and the house just feels extra cozy.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2607\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_2611\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the kitchen …<\/h2>\n

More whole foods … protein and veggies … bone broth … Himalayan salt<\/p>\n

I also\u00a0love that my kitchen is clean, and my counter is clear!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plans for the week …<\/h2>\n

* Three volleyball games
\n* Haircut
\n* Long weekend for the kids
\n* Trip to the pumpkin patch<\/p>\n
