Five Simple Things (October 11)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. These muffins.

The week called for banana muffins.

2. These flowers.

I got flowers from two different people this week, and it sure does feel good to be loved.♥

3. These subscriptions.

Mightynest and Kiwi Eco Box came this week. These jar lids from Mightynest are awesome! They fit on regular mason jars and can be used for syrups, sauces, or dressings. They definitely were the talk of our house this week. And, in the Kiwi Eco Box, my favorite thing is the bread bag. Although, I do love these wooden cotton swabs, the bread bag is going to come in handy, because I have taken up making homemade breads a lot more. More on that soon.

4. This fog.

I love a good fog picture.

5. This dog.

I mean... Get it, girl! She was ready to round up some sheep. I've seen this dog a few times on my way to work, or coming home. My parents had a cattle dog just like this named, Rosebud. They love to work, and this dog was ready to get it done!

One last thing:

These are now in the shop. Great gifts, or school supplies. The Dinosaur Egg Crayons are so cute, and the Beeswax Crayons and the Colored Pencils are so bright in color. You can check out the shop here, or click each name for what's pictured above.

• Colored Pencils-set of 12 (tall or short)

• Triangle Beeswax Crayons-Set of 8

• Eco-Kids Dinosaur Egg Beeswax Crayons

Positive affirmations this week:

I love this statement from Amber Fillerup Clark. It is such a true, and sad statement that really makes you think as a parent. I've had a lot of weeds planted in my life, and I am not alone. This statement doesn't just have to apply to your kids, it can apply to other people, and even yourself. Planting love blossoms is how all of us should go about life. Unfortunately, there are people that are wanting the weeds to grow and they don't care about how they take over. These people, mostly, are ones that need to love blossoms the most. But, in order to start the blossoms growing we have to focus on planting those love blossoms in ourselves, and making sure our children have a garden full of them. Self love is the best place to start.

You can do this!🌈
