The wreath on my front door has started looking a little lackluster. Since we planned a trip to walmart for necessities, I thought we'd at least look at what they have set out for fall. We found a beautiful wreath that was fairly inexpensive. It's so pretty. I brought it home and immediately hung it up. It really sets off our front door.

While we were shopping, I found a full-length mirror for my daughter's room. She is constantly using mine as she loves to dress up and wants to make sure she gets her accessories "just right".  Her efforts to take extra care to look nice remind me to take extra care myself. It seems quite easy to overlook my own appearance when I'm busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

We also found some wonderful vanilla-scented candles at walmart. I love the way they make the house smell. I'd also like to find some that are different scents. I haven't settled on a new scent yet and I'm anxious to see what some of the nicer candle stores offer. We had a Yankee candle store, but it's gone out of business.

A fresh load of laundry came up from the basement. The new towels look so nice and fluffy. I can hardly wait to use them. I love wrapping up in a nice soft towel after a long bubble bath. It's so warm and inviting. These new towels are also long enough for my tall strong guys to wrap up in.

Later this week we're taking a trip to a local farm. There's supposed to be a hayride, petting zoo, straw maze.......and all sorts of other wonderful activities. The kids also get to each bring a pumpkin home. I'm really looking forward to going. I'd like to get some pictures of the kids enjoying their first field trip of the year.

Speaking of field trips, we'd like to make a trip to Springfield, Illinios to see Abraham Lincoln's home. I'd love to go through it and spend a weekend in Springfield, just enjoying the sights and taking in the scenery. I love travelling and this would combine travelling and a field trip. How fun!

I *have* to get this place cleaned up before my husband gets home. I love it when it's all nice and clean and smells fantastic. Hopefully, I'll be able to get things put away before he gets home.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

Vanilla is my favourite scent!
