Falling Into Sweetness

October 1, 2013 15 Comments

This was the week, at least here in Colorado, that literally turned summer into fall.  I woke up one morning and suddenly the air is crisp, the leaves are turning…you can just smell the change…and the peach tartlets.

Stop & Smell The Peaches 01

Our family had such a great time baking up this month’s Sugar Block Club dessert- an elegant, simple way to use up those end-of-summer peaches.  And what a perfect project for those eager little hands to dive into.

I was having this deeply inspired photo session with the pretty peaches against my Paris Grey buffet table….perfectly pin-worthy…

….and I look up to see my children unleash a huge box of packing peanuts on the back lawn.  REALITY CHECK!  Behind every picture perfect moment is a totally imperfect reality.  And you know what?  I think I like the imperfect reality more!

Thanking God today for the beautifully imperfect, unexpected, unscripted, unplanned moments that bring the most joy.

    When they’re being quiet, that’s when they’re getting into something! I wonder why we buy them toys though…all they really need is an old box and packing peanuts or maybe bubble wrap.
