Fall Days

It won't be long before winter is here so we are spending our days

enjoying the crisp, fall weather,



leaf examining,



exploring,



hanging out around trees,



sneaking in a few outside kisses,



and just enjoying spending time together outside.



Isn't fall wonderful?

Pint-Size Mechanic

Our car needed a new water pump. Luckily our little mechanic stepped in and did the job for free. Unlike the other guys that wanted to charge $260!

He examined,




contemplated,



and fixed!



While he was at it, he even fixed the grill for no additional charge.



Good thing we have him around.

I ♥ Faces Photo Challenge: Autumn Beauty



Photography has always been an obsession of mine. I love looking at beautiful shots but I have never claimed to be a photographer. I wish I was but I'm not. Every once in awhile I will capture a moment that I feel proud of.

I have been reading I Faces for awhile now and sat back and admired all the gorgeous pictures wishing I could do that. Well this week the theme is "Autumn Beauty" and I thought I would give it a try for fun. I absolutely love this picture of my little Mikey Bear. This was right before we went Trick or Treating when I captured this priceless shot with the autumn colors in the background.




Maybe one day I will learn all about photography and become a photographer but for now I will just hope for a good shot every once in awhile.

You can join in on the fun and view everyone's pictures by visiting the I Faces website.

Granola Nut Clusters Review/Giveaway


So Blog Spark must have really been paying attention, since they sent us food to review. More specifically, they sent Nature Valley's tasty granola nut clusters. I volunteered to review these, since I always interested in the food-related areas.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters are a bite size blend of 100% natural ingredients that include select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and a touch of honey.

Now, working long days, I don't always have time to eat properly. And Mommy Bear, chasing after two wonderful (but crazy) children, has a similar problem. Sometimes, even a granola bar
is too much of a commitment. You eat half of it, you get distracted, and next time you see it, it is upon discovering that Mikey Bear has stuffed it between the couch cushions. (Was he saving it? Did it offend him somehow? Who knows?). Enter Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters. They are the perfect size to pop in your mouth and provide a tasty, natural snack. They are a little bit sweet and a little bit salty, but all good. I use them for a quick energy boost at work. Best of all, they come in their own resealable bag! So I just keep them at my desk, and get into them only when I need to. Convenient and tasty, Nature Valley granola nut clusters are a good thing to keep handy.


Blog Spark has generously offered to provide a "snack pack" to one lucky blog reader. A snack pack includes all four (4) varieties of the Granola Nut Clusters along with a sling backpack, stainless steel water bottle, flashlight and binoculars. This would make a great Christmas gift!

Mandatory Entry:

Leave a comment telling me which kind (
Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut) you are most excited about trying.
