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...
it looks like I'm strangling her, but her big tongue just slipped back into her mouth after kissing me :)

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...

  7. 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!

  12. I love that I feel that you are raising your kids to be in the world but not of the world.

    Just beautiful. :-)

  13. Dear Anne Marie,
    I 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

  19. Everytime we step away...we are so thankful for what we find.
    That sunset is proof that exploring with family is far sweeter than candy!
