Weekend Inspiration {10.22}

With the rainy fall weather lately, we’ve been doing a bit more reading, starting a little of my “nesting projects,” and enjoying autumn crockpot meals! During a visit to Grandma’s, the children had fun harvesting carrots, munching on just-picked apples, and bringing home a small pumpkin from the garden.

Meanwhile, here are some of my favorite links of the week:
