October Wrap Up

Yesterday was Home Everyday’s 100th Post! Can you believe that?! Time is flying here, and October seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. Before we know it, we will be holiday decorating. I am pretty Christmas crazy (as in I may have already listened to some Christmas music this morning) however I am not quite ready for that yet.

Before we move ahead too quickly, here is a wrap up of the last month.

This month, Meg Broderick from Upsy Daisy Cupcake Crazy, guest posted with her to die for recipe of S’mores Cupcakes.

The kitchen was not as busy as it typically is, but I whipped up some really fun things. My favorite of all the recipes this month were the Lucy Cookies. In fact, I might have to make those again soon. A few other recipes I cooked up were: turkey pie, hummus veggie wraps, pumpkin pound cake, and brats with orchard salad.

This month, I was also able to tackle some organizational projects with the help of Mom of 6’s Organize My Life Boot Camp. I was able to streamline our entry, stick with our family routines, keep up with our family calendar, and share our menu plan and grocery routine. I also shared my embarrassing secret, and finally organized my accessory drawer.

This month was also the month of some quick crafty projects that took hardly any time at all. Like the Olympic Torches I crafted for the boys for Halloween, the clever bridal shower gift I put together, the autumn fall tablescape, or the shower curtain drapes I made for the master bedroom.

The kids also had a TON of fun this month. We did some traditional fall trips like a nature walk, and a visit to the pumpkin patch. We headed out to watch the runners at the Chicago Marathon. We also had some fun at home with play dough and pumpkin carving. Finally, my munchkins showed me just how kind hearted they are even though they are only 4, 3, and 2.

Finally, I shared a little glimpse into my day when I shared my day in the life post. I know you are totally jealous… ok maybe not, but the s’mores break made up for it.

This is where I thank you! The readers! The feedback I have gotten has been nothing but positive, and I am so happy that there are people out there reading other than my sister. Coming soon are some more projects, holiday fun, great recipes, and with some help a design change! Thank you again for taking time out of your day to read.
