We are back to hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year and it will be a nice and intimate dining for 9 people. Can’t wait!

I got dressed up to go to a GALA tonight and 

Chloe is going to her 5th grade Halloween party.

Honor to be part of such a wonderful organization tonight. #AWCA

Came home after Shane’s soccer game and we baked an apple cake and apple muffins. 

Apple cake made with whole wheat and no sugar. Not very pretty and not popular amongst my family but my mom and I like it. Not-so-guilty pleasure… 😉

We sat outside on the porch to carve pumpkins, enjoying this beautiful fall weather.

Taking a break!

Aren’t they the cutest duo?!

Chloe insisted on wearing converse with this dress, so I got the matching ones for Andrew too. ;P

I also made them matching boutonnière and corsage.

You look so lovely!

Off they go! Have a wonderful time!!

I decorated the front porch and added some plants to brighten up the area. 

I’m hosting a Girl’s Discipleship group at our house this afternoon. Chloe has been a part of this discipleship group, organized by a group of moms who have the similar age girls at our church. As a mother, my greatest desire is for my children to be so passionately in love with Jesus Christ and so firmly planted in the gospel that their faith will remain unshakable once they become adults and leave home. One thing I strongly believe is having christian friendships that can help through their spiritual walks, encourage each other and keep each other accountable through their journey of faith.

Today is my turn to do the lesson and the topic I chose is, “jealousy”. 

I put together a little powerpoint presentation to help me keep track of my thoughts.

Some sweets to keep them awake during the lesson. 🙂

My beautiful group of girls!

Then some play time afterwards!

Our friend’s dog, Rex has been with us just for couple of days and we are enjoying every minute of it. Chloe and Rex are inseparable… Shane was too, despite of his itchyness but by the late afternoon yesterday his allergies got so  bad, he had to stay away. Poor thing, he was so sad… 🙁
I came downstairs this morning before 6am, and this is what I saw.

Already their second morning walk @7am

Chloe totally took care of this guy. Hands down she’s the best dog sitter I know!

Rex~ we love you! Come back soon!

I turned a small bedroom into my walk-in closet/studio space and I couldn’t be happier! Since it’s my own space I wanted to make it as girly, feminine and sparkly as I could ever dream!
