Happy Friday everyone! We are off to visit our daughter at Drake University and while we are there we plan to run a half marathon. You know, when in Rome. 🙂

It’s going to be a fun weekend.  I’ll share more later about our adventures and that little half marathon thingee. #13.1miles

Yesterday I had the best day.

I didn’t DIY anything.

I didn’t sew anything.

I wasn’t home for most of the day.

That is the trifecta of a non-typical day for me.

What made the day great was that I spent it with my old neighbor. “Old” as in we used to be next door neighbors. We now live 12 miles apart.

Remember Alyssa? She is the cutest pregnant person ever on the right. (Gillian is our instructor, also cute, but not pregnant.)  🙂

After our Body Pump workout, I went over to Alyssa’s house.

Followed this truck most of the way. Nothing screams FALL more than a dump truck full of pumpkins being delivered.

Fall pumpkins changed into their beautiful driveway leading to the house.

Alyssa and her family moved to their new house in May of this year. Just in time to re-paint the entire interior of the house, put in a patio, set up all of the rooms and decorate before having a baby at the end of June.

She “nested” in a big way before baby Liam arrived. I hope some day to post a tour of Alyssa’s house. You will love it.

Getting back to my day.

The reason I went over to Alyssa’ house is because I am so excited to announce that she is going to be a contributor to my Etsy shop! Here’s a sneak peek of what she is working on.

Next week will be the big reveal. She is so talented.

While Alyssa was working, I took care of Liam. He is almost 4 months old now and the sweetest baby. Big brother Logan was at Grandma’s house so it was just the two of us this time.

After supervising Mommy’s work for awhile, it was time to move on. One can only supervise for so long. 🙂

We decided we would play on the floor, practice turning over, practice pulling ourselves up and chat about our day.

Soon we got sleepy.

And for the next hour and a half, baby Liam slept in my arms and we rocked.

Sometimes you just gotta rock.

Have a great weekend.
