{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}

This week I am thankful for:

When the whole family has the week off except mom, sometimes it's hard to leave them at home and head to the shop.  But, when I get there in the early morning I remember...it's my happy place.  So I am thankful that where I work is one of my happy places.

Heading to the pumpkin patch later today!

Some quality family time.

Getting something checked off my to do list that waited three years!

A great dinner with friends.

My brother and his fiance stopping by unexpectedly for a little visit.  So nice to see them outside of work. Also I am so excited and grateful that we are gonna have a new baby in the family! My first niece!!!

A family lunch & movie date.

Busy days at Pippi's, and coming home to dinner with my family.

Creative kids who make amazing drawings and stories.

Cool entries in Pippi's Socktober Instagram contest.

Having a husband who really does so much for us.

A new haircut.

That Marsh has the same weeks off as the kids, they get lot's of quality time with him during the breaks.

Reading piles of books to end our days.

Living in this lovely little town.  It's slower and quieter than others and I love that.

Rain on my roof while I fell asleep.

This week I am thankful for:

Rowan loosing her first tooth! I can't believe it but the cuteness is killing me, I will just look at this picture forever.  I am looking forward to many toothy smiles.

My sweet little Zo always giving me hugs and cuddles.

The grass in my yard turning green again.

My husband and kids getting the week off from school.  They are all very excited.  I wont be off all week with them, but I will get an extra day of family time.

Family time.

Fall projects and art.

My dear Ro who was inspired this week to make gifts for some of the adults that she adores at her school. It was so sweet to go with her while she gave her precious gifts.

Having kids that love to give to others (and each other).

Happy customers.

Happy kids.

Silly Kids.

Also those cute little bat dolls, they are my new favorite at the shop.

The freedom to bring my kids to work with me.

Evenings at home with my husband.

The nights that I close the shop and my dear Marshall not only saves me a plate of dinner but he saves his too, so we can eat together. <3

And so thankful of all the love in my life.

11 weeks Untill...

Christmas! What the what!?!
My neighbor just said that (well she said 12 weeks but I didn't sit down to write this until...later) And, yes I had to count it too.  Go ahead check...

Okay, so no wonder my shop is getting stuffed with cozy goodness! It's almost holiday shopping time.  In fact many of my customers have begun.  How does it happen so fast? Wasn't it just summer?  Haven't I just begun to soak in fall and delight in pumpkin goodness?  I'm not ready for the holidays.  And I am no where near close to thinking about gifts...give me until Thanksgiving please.  But for those of you who plan ahead, Pippi's has you covered, Pippi's is full of awesomeness.  Here is a peek at some of our new stuff.

Fall and Halloween fun.

Cozy scarves and hats.

New lines, new socks, new sweetness.

New Latico leather wallets and bags.

Later (like after Halloween) I will put out Holiday socks.  And later, (like in November) I will do a "gift guide" post.

And not to worry, I will be delighting in pumpkin...everything at least through December.  We can all dress cozy until at least March right? I hope so, cause hats, scarves, sweaters, leggings, legwarmers and boots I've been waiting, I am ready for it...here I come.

Also, if you need more coziness in your life you know where to get it!

This week I am thankful for:

For my kids being so amazing.

For motherhood and the ever changing challenges. Every time I think... I've got this...they switch it up on me.

My afternoons with Rowan at the shop.

And my mornings with Zo.

My husband working hard at his job and, enjoying helping students and on top of that, following his heart writing his novel.

An afternoon of movies and art with my kids.

A little fall cleaning and organizing at home.

Good talks with friends.

Inspiration.

Fall, October, Socktober...I am enjoying the contest entries that we have gotten so far.

Loyal customers locals and visitors alike.  I love catching up with Pippi Sock lovers and this week has been full of them.  I am so grateful to my customers for their support and for letting me be a part of their day.

Walks and bike rides.

 This week I am thankful for:

The official start to fall. Yay.  We even had a day or two that felt like fall...bring on the fall colors and pumpkin spice!

Taking the kids on their first long bike ride! Maybe next time I can take a bike...

The first loose tooth, the excitement is nearly unbearable...

Rain.

Cashmere socks.

The love in my house.  My Marshall hearing me and understanding how I work and being there for me everyday.

My workout partner.  No, really. She wakes up and hour earlier than she should just to watch workout with me.

My kids and their sweet hearts.

Baking.  The time is here.  Banana breads, zucchini muffins, pumpkin cookies, oh my!

Swings.

A fun Harvest Festival at the school, and the dear people who put it on and treated my kids so sweetly.

And cats...

The admiration I see when the kids observe their Daddy.

My parents inviting us to a fun event.

The joy that Zo exudes with every moment, their joy and laughter is contagious.

And being able to see my kids and their devotion to one another, it melts my heart.

Reading books with the kids.  I love that we can do chapter books now.

The small town we live in.  People who care about and work so hard for the community, we are lucky to have people who care.

The kids picking Halloween costume ideas that I can totally make! (Let's hope they don't change their minds!)

 This week I am thankful for:

The rain we got this week.  I really hope there is more on the way.

An abundance of work...okay I am trying to be thankful for all the work I have put on my to do list.

Speaking of work, checking off a big project on my list, I sent away my illustrations for my Grammy's next book this week!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with my Grammy on a project that she has been thinking about for 30 years.   So thankful that Grammy asked me to be her artist for this book.

My kids being so sweet and so adaptable.

That the kids love being at work with Marshall or I.

That I have a loving mother who is so willing to help me when I need to work sans kids, (because yes, I still have a problem leaving my kids with non-related baby sitters).

A good reason for me to learn how to use movie maker, to make a video for my moms birthday.

A busy Saturday at the shop, and a nice turn out for the Sidewalk sale.

A great time with friends, old and new.

So many great new things at Pippi's.  Cozy fall stuff!!! Now I just need the fall weather to catch up with us!

My husband who is always working so hard to help provide for us, take care of us, and pick up my slack when I feel exhausted.
