Hi. Happy Autumn! Here we are in late October already. Where did the month go? I've been baking and cooking all our favorite soups, stews, and yes, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, too. I made them from scratch for the first time! It was a bit easier than I expected and my house smelled amazing. Needless to say, everyone loved them. I topped them with a cream cheese frosting after they came out of the oven and they were perfect.
We spent yesterday in a town about an hour away in the mountains. We enjoyed seeing some beautiful leaf foliage. I especially love the red leaves! The weather was perfect - sunny and 65 degrees. We spent a lot of time outside which is so good for the soul. It was a great way to spend a Sunday. After we returned home I put a whole chicken in the oven which roasted alongside baby potatoes and carrots. It was perfect and so cozy. There's something so comforting about a simple roast chicken, I think.
As you can see in the picture above little Rosie has taken over my yoga mat. I've started doing stretches most every evening for my hips which I was having some off-and-on issues with. They seem to be helping which is good news. Over the past two years, I think I've done way too much sitting and not enough walking/moving and it's become obvious to me that I have to move my body every day. I just feel so much better physically and mentally when I do.
Homeschooling is going well and we seem to have the hang of it now. We are both enjoying our days at home together. I'm so thankful we are schooling at home now.
Have a great week!
