I’ve finally conceded to the fact that this year is flying by. So there’s no need for me to freak out about it at the beginning of every monthly recap. Basically, I’m trying to contain myself for your reading pleasure. I can’t promise I will be quite as restrained next month.

As always, just click on either the link or the picture to be taken to the post!

I spent Labor Day with my sweet fam – actually, I had some rather painful contractions that morning and thought the term “labor day” may inherit a new meaning. Thankfully, baby stayed inside!

Jonathan & I read an excellent book on marriage. Read our review of it here.

My favorite link from this group was number 4. Love the thoughts & the photography in that post.

Oh ya know, just ripping wood off random pieces of furniture & creating wall art with it. That’s how I roll.

I shared one of my favorite books about the 9/11 tragedy. Hard to believe it was 12 years ago.

Ooohhh…my favorite link from this grouping? So tricky because they’re all so different! I’ll have to go with #2. But 1 & 4 are super close right behind.

Here was my plan for an attempted pose during my large family vacation {21 people in 1 house}.

And here’s how things turned out…along with a sneak peek into the progression of the grandkids+grandparents pic.

A 3 ingredient + 3 minute dip that will knock your socks off. At least it knocked mine off.

#4 is my favorite link from this group…probably because it’s the one I most want to do something about! That Hobby Lobby gift card is definitely being put to good use in my home!!

On Wednesday, I’m sharing some of my very favorite fall recipes! If you have any special fall recipes you love, I hope you’ll share your link in the comments on Wednesday. I’m sure we would all love to benefit from more yummy foods!
