Talking of rental cabins, David was at Bearolina this week and had a head to head shock encounter with a bear.

Saturday we’re having David’s mother and father over, too, for burgers and soccer and loads of chitchat. I like these sorts of weekends. Makes me need to pull out the autumn bins. Quickly…
However first, right here are some things I’m loving these days!
The Good Petite Tank
I like when petite individuals share issues that match them nicely. My buddy Lexi from Lexi’s Clear Kitchen shared this reasonably priced tank the opposite day and I instantly went and acquired it in 3 colours. It’s extensive sufficient on the shoulders to simply cowl an actual bra and the size is ideal to remain tucked into denims however not have a lot leftover materials that it’s bunchy (brief woman issues). I meant to seize a greater image however that is all I had on my cellphone. For reference, I’m 5’1″ and carrying a small.
Hen Salad Created from Canned Hen
I simply used my final jar of canned hen that I made utilizing my electrical stress canner and I’m plotting once I could make a brand new batch as a result of I LOVE having it available for a protein-rich lunch choice. Utilizing my home made relish and serving it with a home made pickle actually appears like such a flex to me at this age and stage, too. 😅
Hen salad combo I’m loving: canned hen, mayo, celery, dried dill, candy relish, a squirt of Dijon, finely diced purple onion, salt and pepper.
Additionally, please observe the visible illustration of late August at the moment my counter: a couple of lingering summer time tomatoes and a pumpkin (each harvested from my backyard membership backyard). The right hybrid of nonetheless summer time however fall is knocking.
Lip Liner Stain
OK, this lip liner stain will freak you out while you apply it. However 5-10 minutes later, you peel it off and it leaves a delicate colour in your lips that gained’t rub off on straws, cups, or his collar. (Oh my gosh I simply cracked up once I wrote that however doesn’t it sound like a tacky, horny lipstick business?!)
It’s marketed as a lip liner stain, however I apply it to my complete lip. Then I can simply put chapstick or a gloss over it for a completed search for the day. Talking of a completed look, I requested ChatGPT how I ought to do my make up for day after day, then adopted the steps. Truthfully, I used to be fairly impressed!
Take a Likelihood Dazzle
I’ve been a fan of the rosy, berry colour on my nails these days and nonetheless completely love that I’m according to doing my nails for the primary time in my life because of Dazzle Dry. It’s been superior to listen to what number of of you’ve got additionally fallen in love with this non-toxic nail polish that lasts weeks after drying in solely minutes. I simply ordered this Take a Likelihood colour as a result of it’s occurring my nail September 1st in honor of the kick off to -ber month season!
For those who’re new to Dazzle Dry, I extremely suggest beginning with the mini equipment, which comes with all the things you want. There are a variety of colour choices to select from!
Shade proven right here solely is available in this mini equipment flight.
Homeschool Morning Time
I’m very pleased to report that even with a excessive schooler and a center schooler, morning time collectively continues to be successful. We’re ending up our e book of Queen Eleanor at this time, which has learn like a medieval drama (very intriguing and pleasant) and can then begin on 7 Habits of Extremely Efficient Teenagers whereas nonetheless alternating with historical past.
This mild begin to our days is such a blessing and I’m so tickled that each women really feel the identical. Spending 45 minutes studying, discussing, laughing, and crafting begins us out on a linked and pleased foot… even when we’re collectively groaning about math an hour later.
A fast snap from my morning viewpoint as a result of I take so many footage like this attempting to savor/seize these extraordinary moments I take pleasure in a lot.
Animals
Can I finish on a random love? Animals. I like having a canine and chickens and if I used to be ready, I’d in all probability throw a goat or mini donkey into the combo. I simply love the enjoyment they add to life. Finley, at nearly 5 years previous, is such an excellent canine. Certain, she barks a bit a lot at something she catches the slightest look of out of doors the window, however she’s so pleased and snuggly (on her personal phrases) and is actually my shadow.
And the chickens? I do suppose they’re extra peaceable now with Earl at his new house. One of the best half is that the women have been out to go to them SO far more. We’re holding them, feeding them, and even took Heyhey on her first golf cart experience. Animals are one of the best.
That’s all I’ve obtained for at this time, however I’d love to listen to one thing bringing you pleasure these days, for those who’re up for sharing! Hope you’ve got a stellar weekend. Glad faculty soccer season. <3
