"If you don't see the book on the shelf, write it." ~ Beverly Cleary
We switched things up in Maggie’s room unexpectedly the other night and she was so happy with the results she was bouncing off the walls, literally, with excitement. A reminder that changing things up, without actually buying anything, can feel exciting. I love her room, it’s such a good, bright representation of who she is. It’s full of color, art, and handmade gifts from people in her life who really know and love her. I should have taken more pictures of the details….
Hooray for getting these up before 2015!! This morning, the first of November, we shoveled our jack-o-lanterns off the back patio and Maggie sobbed as she said goodbye to those gross, moldy pumpkins. We had such a fun day picking them out and carving them, so I totally get her sadness in saying goodbye to them. Here are far more pictures than anybody ever wanted to see of our family at the farm. My favorite? Audrey showing off her candy corn that got painted on her face. She was sooooo excited to get it and show everybody…even though there was no mirror to show her what it was. Just feeling the bristles of the brush on her cheek was enough for her to know she had something special there….
