we didn't trick or treat
we didn't even buy candy
we didn't dress up
we spent time together.......in the woodlands nearby our farm........and it was the best time a mama could have
i was smothered in kisses and inspiration
from both my kids........
and the dog...

i have so much to share with you, through many more photographs this week
there are certain times i get inspired
like the light goes on inside and you want to spread it like homemade apple jelly
i hope you had a good weekend, and thanks for all the wonderful
comments you gave on the front room...
xo+blessings,

What a wonderful time...and I didn't know you were pregnant! Congratulations and many blessings to you in the upcoming months:). You are amazing...homeschooling, running the farm, and all of your creative endeavors. I think you need to write a book on how to do it all:). Happy Fall!

ReplyDeleteI love that I feel that you are raising your kids to be in the world but not of the world.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. :-)
Dear Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteI do not understand why but almost everytime I read a post of yours I feel so moved and so grateful to have "met" you. You're so special to me and to my soul.
You're a wonderful family and yes, this is the best Halloween your children could have.
With love,
Fra

What a wonderful and thoughtful way to live in the world! Bless you, Anne Marie. Tomorrow we'll be at the beach at dawn, making pancakes and bacon as the sun comes up.
ReplyDeleteEverytime we step away...we are so thankful for what we find.
ReplyDeleteThat sunset is proof that exploring with family is far sweeter than candy!
