i feel good

This post title brought to you by this song.  I have been singing it all weekend and you will too after you see this movie.  Today my daughter informed me that my "singing volume is too loud"  followed by "but I like it when you sing the words 'sugar and spice" - gotta love that girl for all her sugar and spice.   We've been singing (and dancing) a lot around here lately and it's helped keep much of the bickering in check.

Thank you for all your kind comments about my pumpkin pie.  I use this recipe.  It is by far the simplest and yummiest pumpkin pie recipe out there - I found it years ago on the back of the condensed milk can.  I absolutely love condensed milk - it also makes the yummiest fudge.

Ezra used this recipe to make his pie.  I love this pie right out of the freezer - yummy!

I feel good because the weather was absolutely gorgeous this weekend and I got to wear my new red shoes.

I feel good because my kiddos found these seed pods in our woods.

I feel good because Lucy's gorgeous sweater is so perfectly designed and executed it brings joy to my heart.

I feel soooo good to be part of this crafting, blogging, creating community - you never cease to inspire me!

I'll be back soon with some crafting.  Monday was teacher work day at the kiddos' school so I'm a day behind this week.

Shoes, skirt and seed pod = all great.

I bet the shoes are a real true feel good factor. I love red shoes or bags, I don't have any right now. That might explain why I feel under the weather ;o)

Oh, a little James Brown is so good for the soul! Yes, it will be in my head for the rest of the week...and this is a good thing.
I so agree about feeling good about being in this "crafting, blogging, creating community". It has been such a huge part of my life these past 6 months, I don't know how I ever lived without it. I do think that because we are not living with our extending families as we used to, we are so in need of an extended community and we are finding it here through our blogs! Yeah for us! It is such an intuitive need and we have been without it for sooo long, it is about time we took back our need to connect with other women creatively, emotionally, spiritually, etc.! Feels good!
