I haven’t been blogging as much lately because I’ve been enjoying wider margins in my life. And I count that as a very good thing. So today I pause and give thanks for the joy and peace found in little moments. For gluten-free chicken & waffles, kale chips, and a date who shares. For an excuse to be silly with my husband. For The Incredible Hulk and Purple-Haired Barbie. For…
My favorite part of Halloween is probably the annual “make-the-face-of-your-pumpkin” photo. That never gets old. What does get old? The heat.

I had been looking at some fun fall wreaths and went to JoAnn with the intentions of making this Halloween wreath, but then I found these pretty pom-pom flowers. Are they dahlias? Someone help me out here. I decided to go in an entirely different direction and came up with this simple…
