An Update

Hi!  Just a quick update on life at the Minion Cottage.  Our crazy September is over!! Woohoo!  It was a ton of fun, but super busy. Since I forgot to post a response to my photo question from last month (blond moment)- yes, you were all right.  Stephen, Google Maps doesn't count!  It was on Westlee St. in good ole Lattimore, looking at the railroad tracks.  Since that was such a hit, see if you can figure out this one:

Also, I did clean out our basement, and it looks so good!!  All we need are some heavy duty shelves for putting our containers on, and we will be set!  I'm hoping to do a whole house tour soon, so you will see in on there.  

And, I am super, duper excited to announce a new blog series on food and shopping.  I've had a few people ask how we eat healthy on a budget and for recipes, so I will be sharing that very, very soon!  

I hope you all are enjoying your autumns as much as I am.  Oh, and go apple picking.  Andrew and I went last weekend (my first time ever!) and had so much fun.  Enjoy!

Busy, Crazy Life

I took a couple week blogging break because my life was just too busy to try to squeeze in a blog post (or two or three) every day.  I thought life would settle down after a bit, but it hasn't.  A taste of life right now: working 30+ hours a week, youth staff at our church, playing for the Christmas cantata- as well as many other piano responsibilities at church, Andrew is taking 6 hours of grad classes and working 40+ hours a week, required school and church services (10 nights of them in one month), teaching piano to 3 new students, and cooking, laundry, cleaning, and everything else that comes along with life.  It's great, and I love it, but something had to give and it was le blog.

September is jam-packed, and October doesn't look much better right now.  November and December seem to be pretty empty (comparatively), but I shouldn't speak too fast.

Normal blogging will resume...soon.  I have some ideas of how to make it work- it's just a matter of seeing if my crazy life will let me do it!  Leaving you with a picture that Andrew and I took on our walk (yes, trying to find time for those!) last week (points if you can guess where we took it)...
