Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 47

It’s been 5 years since my Mom died this week so I made her an altar at our table this year.

I have the cutest picture of her with her sister in my kitchen when I was little.

They’re working on Christmas dinner. They made all the holiday magic for us kids. I’m so grateful for that.

I’m also grateful I can pull leaves from the yard to make my table come to life.

My Everyday Life Week 46

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 46

We have had fewer storms and much less wind here which means there are more leaves on the trees. It’s been nice to savor them more this year. Last year one big storm wiped them all out and the autumn colors were short-lived.
