Happy Monday, friends! How are we already into the second full week of October!? Our whole family has been battling COVID, and I can honestly tell you that it's been hard keeping up with the calendar. It is Monday, right? Right. Covid aside, it's been pretty exciting around here these past few weeks!

We've had lots of family birthdays to celebrate, we've been doing more reno work on our new home, and we're busier than we have ever been with fall programming after school and on weekends. 

B is keeping so busy that he has an activity every day after school M-Th. He just started taking piano lessons, is in a play at school and has rehearsals 2x a week, and is ringing in the kids handbell choir at church on Wednesdays. All of these activities are new to him, and I'm so proud of him for wanting to try some new things. He's turning twelve this week, and I'm not ready!

I am ready for something new, too... a new hobby, maybe. I'd love to start crafting again... I really used to enjoy it!

Maybe I'll step outside of my comfort zone with cooking and baking this fall.

Do you enjoy trying new things? I'm not great at it, but I'm ready to try something new!

Can we step into something new together this month? Let me encourage you to give something new a try... take a class, volunteer, do something that gives back and sparks joy!

What new thing will you choose to try?

Blessings on your week!
