No matter what happens throughout each year, the month of October always seems to be my favorite. The days may start to get shorter and our schedules may become more full, but it is worth it. Chilly nights, apple picking, falling leaves, bonfires, and scarf weather are just some of my fall favorites.

School’s been in session for a month now. Well, for my oldest at least. 1st grade has been just as awesome as Kindergarten and we have finally gotten back into the groove of school day routines. Most mornings are filled with running around trying to get the kids ready, fed and packing a lunch for Ethan to take to school.

Many people are talking about the wonderful season of fall already. Don’t get me wrong; I am definitely ready for bonfires, hoodies, changing leaves and fun fall activities. However, I am definitely not ready to put that cover on the grill for the last time this year.

When my little family grew to 5 members, which included three little boys, I wasn’t prepared for a lot of things. When they were all under three years old, I joked about not knowing how to handle three teenage boys down the road. I thought about the amount of food, dishes, and laundry we’d go through. I pictured it being astronomical and unmanageable. Who would have guessed it would have happened by the time by oldest turned six?

I often talk about keeping things stocked in the pantry. With three boys, it makes life much easier. If I made a list of things I always have on hand, fruit juice and gummy snacks would definitely be at the very top of the list. It’s like clockwork every day, the same time, they request a little snack. Ninety percent of the time, it is those two things.
