​ NEW ON THE BLOG: ​Delicious Apple Cake​ ​Our DIY Growth Chart​ ​The Oil Cleansing Method​ ​ Last week, I challenged you to take a short break every day (preferably outside in the sun)... and I did it too! It's been unseasonably hot around here, so I stayed in the shade, but I forced myself to stop what I was doing at some point each afternoon and sit outside for at least 15 minutes (yard work and walking the dog didn't count). Often, I read or listened to a book/podcast, but there were days when I just laid on our outdoor couch and enjoyed doing nothing for a few minutes in the middle of the day (a luxury I didn't have a couple of years ago!) If you're home with little kids, take them outside and enjoy the fresh air together... not as relaxing, but still beneficial for all. Happy (almost) Fall! 🍂 ​ ​ simple food. Apple cake with crunchy oat topping and cinnamon whipped cream is a fantastic combo for any Fall breakfast, brunch, or dessert. My recipe calls for whole grain flour, but it works well with all-purpose too. Our family loves this easy cake and I hope yours will too! get the recipe --> ​Apple Cake with Cinnamon Yogurt Whipped Cream​ organized home. One of my favorite DIY projects to date is the Growth Chart I made when Nora was a baby. We all love looking back at how much everyone has grown over the years.

Dave and I have "washed" our faces with oil for 14 years now... yes, I know how crazy that sounds!

In other news... 2 Great War Books: War story novels are my favorite... and I'm almost finished with 2 of them. I'm currently reading Eye of Glory (Civil War) and listening to The Paris Housekeeper (WWII).
