I love fall traditions.

We usually go out to the pumpkin patch, and take a hayride, and drink apple cider, and get gorgeous pictures as the sun goes down.

We make donuts and watch Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
We carve pumpkins.

Hello!
I have to thank you so much for your words and prayers for Sadie's family. I went to try to comfort, uplift, and strengthen, but they did that for me. They know where their perfect daughter is, and they are determined to live their lives so that they will be able to live with her as an eternal family. They are amazing and I was reminded that family, friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ are really all that matter in this life. The rest is just fluff.

A thought I'd share a few of my thoughts and things I've learned (and am still learning) about my first year of blogging:

Blog what you love, and read blogs that inspire you
My intent with this blog is to take you along our adventure of bringing a 1970's house up to date and show projects that make you think, I could do that! 

(along with some pure nonsense, deals, and rambling) 

If my blog or anyone else's blog is not uplifting or inspiring you, why are you still reading it? Blog what you love and it will come naturally, and read blogs that you truly enjoy.

It's time for the afters of the Procrastinator's Party!

  Hello! What do you think of the new look?

My husband was out of town last week and I had the wild notion to give my blog a makeover to fill the hours after the kids were in bed so I wouldn't think about was that the wind? or someone that was going to break in and kidnap my kids or steal my 20 cans of spray paint...

Anyway, I'm still tweaking some things on here, but I was ready for a change.

I really can't believe it's been 1 year since I decided to take our family blog private and begin 320 Sycamore for my love of home things.

You all have been a huge blessing~whether you have been with me from the beginning or just yesterday, thank you for coming back.  I try not to ask myself why you would want to see what this crazy girl is up to next or what she's rambling on about now, but for whatever reason,

thank you.

I haven't taken any pictures of projects.
Not feeling very inspired and motivated today...
Sometimes I make a blog "plan" about what I'm going to post, when I'm going to post, and how awesome it's going to be, and it goes right down the drain. :)
But that's okay, because today I'm going to share inspiration and motivation I've spotted around blogland:

I heart the girls at Our Best Bites. Love them especially now. Because why?
I think every easy Halloween food idea I have ever bookmarked, ripped from a magazine, or printed off to put in my idea book, they have put into one Easy Halloween Party Food amazing post.

Our garage door windows probably hadn't been washed in 10 years~honestly. The pictures really don't show the cloudy, hazy, filmy, built up mess.

I have tried to clean them since we've been here a couple of times with window cleaner, but they had so much dried build-up on them, it wasn't doing much good.
