Hello October!

October is finally here.

Halloween will be here before we know it.

Costumes and trunk or treating fill the thoughts of my three children and their friends.

Have I mentioned how much I love this time of year?

I haven't been very present on this blog lately.  I have a lot of partial posts waiting to be finished and published here on the ol' blog, but life keeps marching on at a beat that I seem to be racing to keep up with.  (Hoping that's not the way life will stay around here forever because, we like to keep things simple.)

But despite life being so busy, I just wanted to log on and post something, just to say "hello!". 

(... even though I almost burned a batch of chocolate chip cookies while typing this - oh well.)

So...

Hello! + Happy October!
