Fall Festival Stop and Shop

If you are in the Minnesota area come and check out the Fall Festival Stop and Shop that is being held Oct 22nd at Colonial Mall in St. Michael. I will be there with a table promoting my business, At Home America.

I will be having a drawing and giving away prizes to anyone who books a show. Come and check it out. Also At Home is celebrating their 25th Anniversary this month and have select homewares at 25% off!!

I hope to see you there!

Help You, Mommy?

I can't tell you how many times I hear those words during the day. When I'm doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, making supper, or just picking up around the house. Little Man loves to help. His 'job' when I do laundry is putting away Daddy's socks. He LOVES it! Although I have caught him putting Daddy's socks in his (Little Man's) drawer. I even found a little sock in my sock drawer.

When he wakes up in the morning he runs downstairs to grab his cereal box. At lunch he grabs his peanut butter and then the jelly. He HAS to put them away too or the world just wouldn't be right.


I love how he asks to help but sometimes it's easier (like when I'm making supper) if he plays or watches a movie. Today for example, I was having a stressed filled day with calling people and trying to get alot of stuff done. Unfortunately Little Man decided to take a short nap. He wanted to help me make supper but I honestly wasn't in the mood in putting the Teddy Grahams back 200 times. So I popped in Jungle Book and that entertained him while I cooked.

But his helping does come in handy at night when he helps put all his toys away.

Now...if only he can be this helpful when he's a teenager.

Fall

You know Fall is here not when the trees start changing color or that it's starting to get colder, but when it's 7:30am and it's still dark out. I love Fall and don't mind it when it gets dark earlier but I miss the sun shining through my kitchen window at 7am. I miss that I can walk down the stairs and not have to turn the light on to see.

I finally got all my Fall decorations out yesterday and decorated. Here is what my front window looks like. After Halloween I'll be putting up my Thanksgiving window clings.

Check out our front tree. Every year it changes color from the tops down. It's one of the first trees on our block to change color. You can kind of see our neighbors tree is still green.

I was hoping to go for a walk with Little Man today and walk to the park. Unfortunately it's raining. I guess we'll have to go tomorrow.
