This week’s learned, links, and thankfulness…

I’m so thankful for one week of school down and many more to go. We celebrated their first day with a family dinner at John’s Incredible Pizza. It’s been a tradition of ours to go for the past couple years.

This encouragement about living an “unrushed life” really spoke wonders to my heart.

Our front porch has been so messy all summer long, and I finally got to cleaning it up. I was totally inspired by this pin.

I love peanut butter and pretzels mixed together, so this look especially delicious.

Love this pretty vintage coach bag from Ms. Tips.

I want to make cute duct tape pencil holders.

Crystal Lewis did this post on “Learning to Let Go” as she prepares to move her daughter to another state. It makes my heart ache imagining the day we will have to do this for one of  our daughters. I love how Crystal calls her daughter-in-law, her “daughter-in-love,” I think it helps bring a special sweetness to the in-law relationship.

Saturday is here and that means that the girls are working on Saturday morning chores and Ben is out in the garden. Ben’s been sick all week, so while we had plans to go fruit picking this weekend, I think we will mostly be home relaxing and doing house things. I really want to make that pretzel peanut butter thing too. Happy weekend friends!!!
