Happy Fall, Knitting Pumpkin, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I am so happy it is Fall now and it is getting cooler. I love that it is October soon it is such a special month every year, It is my Birthday on the 10th, then Thanksgiving, and Halloween. So much to celebrate. 

I started knitting a pumpkin and I have knitted this pattern before. It is a fun pattern I found on Ravelry by Katrina McNerney and will be finished soon. 

I have been continuing to read The Whole-Brain child by Daniel Siegel and read a little each night. I have been enjoying it. I haven't been reading Doing it All as much but will continue on soon.

Millie was so interested in a floating balloon this past weekend. She is so cute watching it go around. Evan was also hitting it and following it. They are so cute together when they are looking and playing with the same thing that is so sweet. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope you are having a good start to the week!

Happy September, Knitting Socks, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well.  I am so happy it is September now and love this time of the year with back to school and it is almost Fall.  I did buy Evan the clothes and backpack for starting in his new classroom and the cooler weather coming. I am happy with my purchase from Carters. This month we have some family get togethers and our Anniversary later in the month as well. Fall is my favorite season of the year and I am looking forward to decorating, having fall drinks, and some fun knitting project plans.

I have been working on knitting the first sock of the vanilla sock pattern from Meaghan Schmaltz on Ravelry. I am almost done knitting the leg of the sock and will work on the heel soon. It is a relaxing knit so far.

I have been continuing to read The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Seigal and Doing it All by Whitney Casares. I will be ordering a book for Fall this week and will share it soon I would like to get into another fiction book.

Here is Millie sitting on the couch she was cleaning and was in a funny position. Evan is doing well and moving to the Toddler room this week! It will be an adjustment for all of us but he is so ready. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope that you have a great week!

Knitting Socks, Plant Updates, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I haven't posted for a couple of weeks sorry about that! I love posting on Sundays during Evan's nap but sometimes his naps are shorter than expected and then I don't post and the week goes by so fast to post on Monday or Tuesday. I am happy to be posting today though! He had longer naps this weekend and it was really nice. He is almost 21 months old, talking a lot and so busy. We love seeing how much he is growing and learning. He will be moving to the toddler room at his daycare next Tuesday just because of space in the toddler room and the long waitlist, he hasn't moved up yet and he is definitely ready. I bought some "back to school" clothes for him yesterday for the Fall. It is just fun this time of the year with bigger kids going back to school or starting Kindergarten to also get Evan some new clothes and a bigger backpack. I always like doing a seasonal clothing update for him anyways. I shop mostly at Carters I love their clothing from when Evan was a baby. I want to buy some more Halloween clothes, books, toys etc soon as well. I will usually buy some books and things from Indigo as well. I love the holidays and it is so fun with a child to celebrate with.

I have been continuing to knit the socks called My Favorite Vanilla Socks by Meaghan Schmaltz. I have been enjoying just knitting in the round for awhile. I have to knit 6 inches of the leg and I have knitted 4 so far. then will work on the heel flap.

I have been reading Doing it All by Whitney Casares it has been helpful for creating a schedule for responsibilities and projects.  I had taken a break reading The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Siegel, but I want to pick it up again this week. I read some really interesting points regarding communicating with children that I think will help me in the future as Evan gets older.

I have repotted my couple of plants on our terrace into some planter pots I bought on Amazon. I like the look of them and I have one more pot that I want to buy some flowers to plant in them. At this point I will see which flowers will last in the late Summer into Fall. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! What are you working on this weekend? I hope that you all have a great rest of your weekend and good week ahead.
