Becoming a Momma

I recently found this post and was SO HAPPY someone took the time to write about the things that no one really tells you happens when you have a baby. She is spot on. If you are expecting your first baby, know someone who is, or if you are just plain curious.. Definitely check it out. :)

I will definitely write about this subject in the future, Lord willing.

Til then, here is my sweet baby girl, I, the day after she was born.

The Great Pumpkin Patch

The Great Pumpkin Patch is located in Central IL, just a bit outside of Arthur. I have been going there since I was about 8 years old. In the past decade, it has become more popular, and I am so happy for the family that runs it. Martha Stewart has featured them on her show, and visitors from all over the world now have visited this magical little place. My Mom and I took the kiddos last week and it was so much fun. We were blessed with a warm sunny day. They have added more mazes and displays this year, and I am so impressed with how much care and attention to detail the family makes each and every fall season. There is a snack shop (hello cider slushies), gift shop, and delicious bakery. If you are ever able to visit, you most definitely should. There are lots of Amish stores around the area too. Arcola (just a few miles east) has a cute main street with shops, an amazing restaurant- The Dutch Kitchen (try the homemade cinnamon rolls!!), and a Raggedy Ann and Andy museum. I love going down there every year, its a family tradition that I wouldn't ever want to change. :)

On to the pictures! These were all taken and edited by me. Please do not use without permission. As always, you can click on the images to expand.

Hope you enjoyed!

Do you think you'd visit if you had a chance?

Have a great day!

Music Monday

The Ember Days.

This band is AWESOME. I can listen to their albums over and over.

Modern praise music, slightly reminiscent of Sigur Ros.

Yes and Yes. :)

Enough talking, I'll just let their beautiful music do the rest.

Oh, and you can download a couple of their albums for FREE at comeandlive.com!

Happy Music Monday!

Friday Finds

Happy Friday!

Today I am featuring finds with pretty floral patterns in them :)

These socks are GORGEOUS! I'd love to have some like them.

LOVE this print from Lola's Room! I have a Savoy camera too, its sitting on my shelf being pretty.

These retro mugs are awesome, why can't I ever find any like that?

This artist is genius! I'm getting cross stitching fever, my sweet Mom bought me a Doodle Stitch book for my bday. (Thanks Mom!)

Little me, and my dear Grandma in her floral shirt. I miss her!

What do you think- are florals still okay for fall? Or only for spring?

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Mom!

She is clothed with strength and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
   and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
   her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
   but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
   and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
--Proverbs 31:25-31 (NIV)
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I'm so glad you are the Mom God blessed me with.
I love you so much!

love, Jenna
