Today at lunch I ran over to the Blue Manatee book store in Oakley. I have to confess, it was my first time in the store. I’ve walked past it many times, but never entered. And everything written and said about it is absolutely true…fantastic place with great customer service. I was looking for this book, Cincinnati:

What’s on Your DVR?
The fall television season is in full force. We have many favorites in our house: The Good Wife, Revenge, Boardwalk Empire, and How I Met Your Mother. Andy is also watching Revolution and Person of Interest. Thanks to the DVR Andy and I probably watch 30-45 minutes of TV a night that we actually enjoy.
Christmas Toy Shopping Deals
Yes, it is that time…time to think about Christmas shopping! Tis the Season. Please tell me someone else starts their Christmas shopping as early as I do. I prefer to get it done EARLY. At least 90% of it. I always leave wiggle room for that last-minute requested item from the kids. But when
Fall Church Picnic and THE Toffee Apple Dip
Our church has an awesome Young Families Group run by a terrific mom. We are so thankful for her volunteer efforts (and her husband’s).

Pumpkin Patches and Other Fall Festivities
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the weather, the outdoors, the colors of the leaves, the sunflowers, and pumpkin everything! One of my favorite things to do is to visit a farm for fall activities and a trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we headed out to Blooms and Berries once
