A. I have shin splints. Those damn ugly bowling shoes did a number. Like it kind of feels like my shins are made of wood. Note to self: Don’t run in bowling shoes.
B: It’s madness here. Good, crazy madness where there’s much to do and not much time to be on the computer. In the meantime…
C: If you have leaves–beautiful, saturated colored ones that are spinning into little piles in your yard, please…someone…jump in them for me.
D: The back-up plan: Shipped in leaves. So my girls know what they feel like. What they smell like. Cousin Joann did it again, this year topping out with extra wrapped bags of acorns and t-shirts that have soaked in the smoldering scent of smoke from burning leaves.
Divinity.
E. How’s about a giveaway?

Even though I’m not married and I don’t have children…yet. I still love your blog! 🙂
Love feeling my pregnant belly jerking and rolling along with the sweet little girl inside it.
Love that her soon-to-be big sister threw an absolute FIT today when, upon delivery of the new crib, she learned that she would not be sharing her bed with her beloved baby sister… Just her “dumb room”.
Loving that my sweet baby boy still insists that we return to the doctor to get a boy baby instead.
loving:

2. my 2 year old blossoming into a little girl
3. my mother- the same gold hoop earring-wearing, jeans-sporting, ponytailed woman i’ve always known and loved.

1. Just found out that I’ll be welcoming our third baby girl in March!!

3. Those littles are snuggled up in my bed right now and I get to go lay down next to them!
It’s Friday…
Everyone is asleep…
My two beautiful children and wonderful husband…
1. Loving your playlist! Every night, I come here to listen to it, drink a cup of tea, and read a book (since I’ll usually have already read your post for that day). But tonight, I came just to listen and I noticed this new post! Yay!
2. Loving being cuddled up in my bed with a cup of tea.
3. Loving having my brother and sister-in-law here visiting (for Canadian Thanksgiving) from Virginia!
3 thing I am loving in this moment:
1. The little one (9 months old) all jammied feet asleep next to me breathing warm milk coma breath onto me.
2. Putting previously said little one and myself in matching gray cable knit tights as a proud salute to the delicous fall weather we are having right now.
3. The excitement buzzing about our house as we adorned every square inch of our family room in home made paper chains, leaves, a sad pumpkin found all by it’s lonesome on a shelf at Walmart that now sits amidst a sea of jars of candy corn for my oldest to take to school with him.
1. I love warmth of my 14 month old daughters body curled up into my lap.
2. I love that we are going to the monkey zoo tomorrow.
3. I love that I feel pretty today 🙂

WOO HOO! Giveaways on a Friday are the best!
I love that you have leaves shipped in! Fall is by far my favorite season. My best friend from college and I still send each other special Fall greetings (which have sometimes included leaves from our yard) to celebrate the start of this most glorious season. When she lived in Hawaii for a while, she had her mom ship leaves across the ocean so she could throw a Fall party for the kids there. They loved it!
What am I loving right now??
1. The crunch-swish that I hear when walking through the leaves in my yard.
2. That my children have gotten so much enjoyment out of making maze-like paths through the leaves in the yard and then chasing each other either on foot or by bike. Only 2 rules: you have to stay in the path and no jumping over the walls of the path.
3. That it is almost time for my nightly bedtime ritual of slipping into the rooms of my slumbering children and planting kisses on their cheeks and whispering love into their ears. There is nothing like watching a sleeping child to put things in life into perspective.
loving that my baby’s asleep in bed beside me
loving that my husband is here

I love that my husband is giving me a foot massage, that I get to take my littles to the pumpkin patch tomorrow, and that I just saw pictures of your adorable Nella in leaves. She could not be more beautiful!
1. I love that as i write this my sister is in labour with her first child so i am about to become an aunty!
2. I love the anticipation of waiting to find out whether she has a boy or girl…
3. I love that when i turned on the stereo this morning my two daughters came running into the room ready to get down and boogie with their mumma!
1. Loving that I stumbled across this blog. Mad Radness.
2. Loving the music playing in the background, shocked at the artist name, but lovvvvvving it nonetheless *** and perhaps a little moreso because of.

3. That my wonderful husband and I are taking our oldest son to the NC State fair for the first time on Monday.
Love, love love the leaves in the Fall! Our yard is FULL of beautiful orange leaves..you can’t even see the grass. My husband wants to rake them so bad but they just look too pretty to be raked away! Please let me know if you’d like anymore..we would gladly share! 🙂

1) I love sent in leaves from up north to a fall deprieved Florida. Your pictures of Nella and Lainey in the leaves are priceless!! You have great people in your life if they’re willing to box up leaves and send ’em down to you!! We’ve got more leaves down up here than we know what to do with. We’re in the midst of some crazy weather up here which brings me to number
2) I love the rain and wind that we’re having up here in the bitter cold. There’s a fire crackling in the fire place, fuzzy socks on my feet as I wrap a fleece blanket around me and read your blog. And all the while my favorite little man is asleep in his room just a
few steps away from me (ok – outside of my nephew) as I have him over the weekend while his parents take a much needed break.
and last but not least
3) i’m loving the fact that the buddy walk is tomorrow and that you’re looking forward to it! I actually looked into flying down to Naples and staying with a friend this weekend just to be there for the buddy walk where I actually “know” someone! Besides I’m thinking Naples’ buddy walk is going to be extremely different from small town Bethel CT’s buddy walk! I would love to be there – but I’m also enjoying my time with my Danny man!
Have a great time tomorrow! Can’t wait to see the pictures and hear the story!! Lots of love from a cold, dark, windy night in CT!
~Beth

3. I’m loving the fact that someone loves fall as much as I do. Having someone ship you leaves is the best idea in the entire freakin’ world.
In this moment, at the time where I’m struggling to keep my eyes awake after trying to get stuff done after I got my Peanut down to sleep… I’m loving:
1.) sleepy husky “puppies” (2 years old) curled up in “cinnapup” position on various couches.
2.)the memory of my Peanut giggling as my husband and I tickled her under her armpits and on her belly. Baby laughs = best sound ever.
3.) anticipation of going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow with our lil one for the start of her first holiday festivities.
Looking so forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas :o)
Your little ones are beautiful, as always. Love the leaf pictures. Oh the wonderful memories I have of playing in HUGE piles of leaves, taller than I as a sprite till I was exhausted. I’m glad you’re doing all you can for your girls to have such memories as well 🙂

I found your blog in February when I first found out I was pregnant, and I was hooked. I also love the way your blog has inspired me. I love listening to the music and looking through your pictures. I lost my baby this April. I read about the baby that you lost before Nella and reading how you got through it comforted me.

2. i love the tiny boy snuggled up next to me sleeping – as we wait for his teenage sisters to come home… parenting across more than a decade is a delicious gift.
3. i love my butterfly embroidered blanket. Even though it’s white… & it’s never as clean as it should be.

1. Fall break=4 day weekend. Love it.
2. Gorgeous fall colors, complete with leaves (we lived in Florida last fall and so we missed it…I feel your pain)
3. A long, lost friend came to my door tonight. A total surprise that made my day.
1. Loving my German Shepherd puppy, even his breath.
2. Loving that my migraine medicine worked for part of the day today… part is better than none, right?

2. Loving that my 2 year old daughter rested her little head on my chest while a rocked her before bed and she said “Keegan happy”.
3. I am so loving that the same daughter wants me to sing to her before bed and she fills in with the words that she knows to the songs.
My baby girl is becoming such a little girl. Every stage just makes me smile.
1. I love that after a week of 95 degree weather, a storm raced through our Tucson desert this afternoon, shaming Summer into a cool 66 degree Fall evening! Rock on, Fall!
2. I love the enthusiasm I felt at the conclusion of spending two full days with the teachers at my school planning how we are going to take the education of our students to the highest level. I love our school!
3. Most of all, I love that I got to spend this Friday evening with a dinner out with my two babies (ages 27 & 23). I love the way they unite to make fun of me! But most of all, I love the way they love each other.
(Thank you, Kelle, for your continual source of inspiration for so many of us!)
loving :
– God
– sweet, sleeping babies…tired and dirty after a beautiful day of parks and sand and sticky snacks

What do I love about this moment? Where do I begin?
1. Loving that tonight I enjoyed my first haunted house experience in 12 years! Totally worth it!
2. Loving that my husband is on his annual Boys Trip and I am enjoying every moment alone with my own littles Charlotte and Cortland.
3. Loving that it’s the middle of the fall season. The winds of change are among us.
1. Loving listening to Christmas music already. Just can’t help myself.
2. Loving my little guy signing more please for everything… more milk, more kisses, more book reading. It’s too precious and I melt every time.
3. Loving the opportunity to win an amazing piece of jewelry simply by reading a blog that I love dearly and sort of treat as my personal bible. Thanks for the inspiration!
Much love!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and am hopelessly in love with you perspective on life, your inspiration that you have given me to cherish the simple things in life, and your honesty. Every morning I religiously get my coffee, sit down to my computer, and check your page to see if you have something new to inspire me with.
SO here goes my three things that I am loving at this moment.
1. Girls night (was out with some of my favorite girls tonight, laughed and smiled so much my cheeks hurt)
2. The sight of my sleeping babies so peaceful in their cribs, after being away for the evening I have a renewed desire to be the mommy they dream of.
3. Time spent with my mother-in-law who is here visiting this weekend… her love for our family is overwhelming.
Just three things? Ok…
Right now I’m loving:
…the smell of the snuffed candles that once flickered brightly all evening, on the table that we played card games with friends at.
…the memory of my oldest child–now kindergartner–catching on to the concept of Tally Marks so quickly this morning during our home school session. And, her noticing, then commenting on the tears welling in my eyes because of how proud I was of her accomplishment.
…that tomorrow is Saturday. The day that my husband prefers to awaken early so he can prepare all of us an excellent, hot “eggy” breakfast. Which is then paired perfectly with a tall glass of pulpy Orange Juice.
Tiff
P.S. Kelle, I don’t know if I’ve ever commented. I can’t remember. But I’ve always had thoughts of what I would say. Anyhow, right now I want to let you know that you’re such an uplifting person. I love your outlook on life. So inspirational!
1. I’m loving the deep breaths of my sweet son sleeping cuddled next to me.
2. I’m loving that I just got confirmation that I will be going on a trip to India to study transformative experiences and to interview Tibetan refugees and the Dali Lama.
3. I’m loving the crisp night air that only autumn in Arkansas can provide.
:o)
1. I love technology – for the chance to speak to my family on iChat in Iowa while I live in Nashville.
2. I love Bath & Body Works Shea Cashmere body cream. The smell is to die for.
3. New pictures printed and framed, especially one of my friend John who’s been in Afghanistan since last year.

Mostly, I’m loving being home and not at the theater so I can soak in things like these:
1) The “stuff” of home–the scents and sounds of laundry going in the utility room, the sound of tiny feet padding down the hall, working in my kitchen trying to find the perfect gluten-free pumpkin bread recipe, sitting down with my husband and son to a homecooked meal.
2) The cool mornings and evenings, the warm, sunny afternoons, the colors of autumn, the dank, smoky smell that wafts from the woods on the cool breeze that has returned to Louisiana. The autumn sunsets over the lake. The fact that fall is here.
3)All of the guests who have visited, and will visit our home this fall, making the place seem even more like home–a place of refuge, fellowship, warmth and happiness.
1. Loving the cool temperatures at night (finally!) and gorgeous sunny, brisk days.
2. Loving making memories with my last little, by carving pumpkins and decorating my mantle

I’m loving that my oldest has just turned 13 and is suddenly acting less like a boy and more like my protector.
I’m loving that I’m still so in love with my husband of 17 years.
I love that I’m sitting next to my husband, both of us on our laptops.
I love that my little bitty is in bed before midnight now, and I know that she is all snuggled and warm and such a happy almost one year old.
Loving the Fall leaves even though it has been so dang dry here in Southern Indiana this year.
<3 Elizabeth

Life is hard lately. Very hard. The bottom has fallen out of the bag and there seems to be more downs than ups. Thank you for reminding me to see silver lining. It’s out there I just needed to look a bit harder.
I am thankful for your blog posts.. opening me up to be a better mama.. I am thankful for baby # 2 on the way.. and I am thankful for fall.. because it is the best time of the year!
great pic of the leaves.. you truley have the best people in your life!

My three loves of this.exact.moment.:
1.) I LOVE the fact that it’s completely necessary to type one handed due to my two month old sleeping daughter that is oh-so-comfy in the nook of my left arm. There’s nothing better than her little hand that is grasped onto my shirt, and her deep slow breaths that assure me that she’s sleeping so deeply. I love to stop & breathe her in. It’s THAT good.
2.) I LOVE the fact that my morning coffee cup is still on our coffee table- half full of old, cold coffee. It just goes to show how side tracked I’ve been all day with my little family. It’s a good reminder that I spent my day in bliss & doing the things that really matter.
3.) I LOVE the fact that I’m wearing socks tonight. It’s a rare occasion for me (actually, extremely rare) to wear anything tight fitting on my tootsies… so I’m a little claustrophobic when it comes to my feet. It takes occasions like these- when it’s chilly outside, to accept it, & to love it… because it only means that Fall is officially making its appearance (& my feet are a-ok with that!).
1. I am loving October so much that I re-named it Rocktober………I love everything that October brings.
2. I love the fleece sleepers I put my 2 youngest children in for bed becasue our weather is getting cold.
3. I love my sling and wearing my 10month old or my 3year old (whoever needs to be worn more at the moment)
1. Love the little chubby foot propped on my arm as I type. The little angel fast asleep since 6:00pm!
2. Pumpkin anything and everything!
3. The view of the bay at sunset from our new home.
I’m loving the fact that my little boy is amazing, even when he is teething.
I’m loving the fact that I have a husband who I can count on.
I’m loving the fact that i’m happy. Plain and simple happy.
And i’d LOVE LOVE Love to win !!
Dear Kelle,
I knew there was a reason I love your blog… you read my mind! I was just formulating a ‘Love List’ post in my mind — a collection of moments and observations I’ve loved this week.
Here’s the top 3:
1. Realizing that the last owners of our house left a fully workable yard swing in a pile under a tree in the back yard. After a few minutes of head scratching and pole-flipping I got it put together and I rocked with my babies under Autumn colored (yes, dearie) trees.
2. Watching my turkeys jump around the livingroom trying to catch a sun-rainbow reflected by the windchimes outside the window as they danced in the slight breeze of the afternoon. My children’s laughter tinkled like so many charms. My mood was lifted by the sound.
3. Noting my husband’s (of seven yrs) eyes lit up when he came in the door after work this evening and saw me in the kitchen. His compliment on my outfit and the smell of supper was sweet but his kiss would have been enough to tell me he loves me and appreciates me.
Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
Love,
Raimie
. Loving movie night and snuggles on the couch with my two little men (6 & 9)
2. Loving the many visits to their rooms to plant kisses on their sweet faces and whisper “I love you much & much” in their ears. So precious!!!
3. Loving that my hubby will be home soon from his basketball game for Friday night snuggles and the anticipation of a lazy Saturday morning…
ALL THE BEST AT YOUR BUDDY WALK…I CAN ALREADY FEEL THE LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!! YOU WILL ROCK IT HAMPTONS!!

1. Lovin’ free babysitting from the in-laws so I could go out with my man!
2. Lovin’ my boys’ freckled little noses that showed up so well in pictures we just got back today!
3. Lovin’ that it is bed time, and in the morning I will be greeted with the aroma of Ethiopian coffee! Just can’t beat that one.
1) Loving the Fall atmosphere
2) Loving that my son still likes to cuddle with mommy
3) Loving that he is getting old enough to remember the holidays and the memories/traditons that go along with it.
– Loving that last year this time there was snow on the ground – this year, I’m eating popsicles on the front porch in October!
-Loving that my new prairie home is beginning to feel like home.
-Loving a girls night in watching movies, drinking a bit o’ Baileys, and eating chocolate chip cookies with my sister.
Besides loving your blog – and becoming increasingly inspired to take my Nikon D40 with me everywhere I go (and take about 2000 pictures of my little boy just being him)? Hmm..
1) I love the crispiness of the fall nights (it’s getting colder every day/night, and I can’t wait to put the brushed cotton sheets on the bed)
2) I’m loving my boyfriend and our little boy – and seeing them together. The fact that we’re moving to a bigger apartment this weekend, which will mean another big step forward in our lives together as a little family.
3) I’m loving the fact that my little big boy is 6 months old, the way he grows, changes, evolves, interacts, learns and tries new things every day. The whay he’ll light up in this gorgeous all-over-the-face grin when he sees his dad coming home from work – or sees me when I’ve been away for a little while (it’s like he looks at us and thinks “Yea, I know you – you’re mine!”, and it gives the warmes feeling ever inside me).
(6 months into motherhood, and I’ll still cry just thinking about how much I love my boys – both the little one and the big one – and I can’t imagine the world without them. Give me a couple more months, and I’ll cry at every opertunity, while introducing my baby to Christmas..)
Oh, and yes, I did walk through the fallen leaves yesterday – and will again later today. 🙂
Three things:
1 – Definately the weather.. I am loving the cool air.
2 – I am loving that my little girl who is almost 2 started finally giving me kisses and not just daddy
3 – I love that my boys give thier sister kisses before bed every night

I started following your blog just after you birthed Nella. I cried long and hard after reading your birth story. Your photos, ideas, views on life and dress sense brings out the whimsy in me, which doesn’t happen very often. Thank
you for inspiring me to be more adventurous and to apreciate lifes little things.
I would also like to tahnk you for your insights into raising Nella. I am a high school teacher and recently started teaching a girl with DS and was very worried about how to teach her. However reading your blog reminds me she is a special girl who just wants to be treated just like the other girls. She loves coming to my class and smiles when she joins in the fun with the rest of my science class.
Thank you again and I look forward to reading your upcoming blogs
oops – three things I love at the moment
1. Loving the cuddles I just had with my 15 month old daughter as she drifts off to sleep
2. Loving to watch my daughters (7 year old and 15 month old) play on the trampoline together
3. Loving the spring weather in Adelaide Australia – warms days to wear skirts and t-shirts but cold nights to rug up in jumpers and slippers
Loving that I’m married to the most wonderful man, we’ve got a beautiful one year-old boy, and another baby boy on the way!
Loving the chilly fall weather in the midwest-especially since I’m 6 months pregnant and ALWAYS hot 🙂
AND love, love, loving that I still get giddy to check your blog everyday…(even though I’ve been following for a LONG time.)
1. I’m loving that I’m in Maui with my family right now.
2. I love that when we go home on Sunday we will be welcomed by Fall’s open arms.
3.I love listening to the sounds of birds in the trees outside of our treetop hotel room.
1) Loving that the weather in Southern California is cooling off
2) Loving that tomorrow we will go get pupmkins and a Halloween costume
3) Loving
Oh! I forgot my 3 things!
1: Meeting with dear friends and sharing love, laughter and chocolate on a beautiful Saturday afternoon
2: Loving on 8 weeks old babies whose tiny butts still fit in the palm of you hand!
3: Having my dearest other half by my side whilst in hospital with a terrible asthma and him not leaving my side for 18 hours straight.
I feel so, very blessed!
I love how my 23 month old son learned how to jump today! I mean…both feet off the floor and landing back on them again without falling over on to his head. He was so excited…he kept saying “Mumma…atch” he would jump, then say “High five, Mumma!”
I love that when I get off work in the morning….although they are bright…the sunrises over the fall trees are amazing!
I love that I finally backed up my computer…even though I did it because a new downloaded program went bad on me! 7 months of pictures could have been lost!! Always have to find the silver lining! =)
Congrats on surpassing your goal for Nella’s Rockstars!!
1. Loving that I’m sleeping under my parents roof in Indianapolis tonight! We moved to Michigan when we got married, and I miss being near family!

3. I love my job. Every day I stand in the hall to greet my little three year olds as they run down the hall to give me a hug. What more could a teacher possibly want?

1. Loving that in the first three months of marriage my husband and I have had a house guest on our honeymoon, lived in my parents’ basement, moved to Paris only to discover our 8 square meter flat was infested with bedbugs, and had to live on a pullout couch in a flat with four other people for six weeks. We are learning and growing so much, and despite all the ridiculous situations we’ve encountered we’ve never been lacking. And every time my husband wraps his arms around me, I can’t help but feel that this is how life was meant to be. Loving being married to my best friend.
2. Loving that I can eat chocolate for breakfast in France. Real, fantastic chocolate – in cereal, in a croissant, or whatever form I please really. It makes for a great start to my day.
3. Loving that my husband’s birthday is coming up, and I get to spend a day celebrating my favorite man in the world.
1. loving the sweet women in africa that i spend my days with
2. loving that im about to go have lunch with my hubs

What a great idea to go out and jump in the leaves 🙂
!. I love having my kids come home and both be under the same roof.
2. I love my 6 am coffee all by myself.
3. I love being cozy with my ancient dog and spoling her in her twilight years.
I love the colorful leaves and brisk Autumn air.
I love the anticipation of the holidays.
I love my weekends spent cheering on my boys in hockey and soccer.
And I love everything TVP makes!
Loving the sound my little babygirl makes while breastfeeding.
Loving the fact that me and my husband are ten years married on tuesday. Ten years with parents who divorce, 9 pregnencies (3 beautiful children) and many hospital visites. But we are more in love and happy than ever.
Loving my oldest sun (six years old) losing his teeth. He looks so adorable.
And not for sucking up, i love your blog. So much love to you from Holland.
Lisette
Ok, so I totally was coming on here to leave you a comment anyway. I’m a little happy and a little sad that you’re doing a giveaway because it seems I only comment when there is one but I really was going to comment anyway. Promise.
What I was going to tell you is how much I enjoy your blog and how it’s good for my soul. It’s beautiful to read the words of someone who really enjoys life and is always looking for the good in it. It’s made me so happy to see so many updates lately. I should subscribe but I don’t because I like to be surprised when I come on here and see a new update. So…
The first thing I love is when Kelle Hampton updates her blog.
The second thing I love is when the Lord is gracious enough to show me my sin and that I’m thankful for it. Thankful that he loves me enough not to leave me where I am but is conforming me more and more into His image every day.
The third thing I love is my family. My husband who is my best friend and who gets up at 3:30am to drive to Walmart and buy Excedrin Migraine for me. And my daughter who is my joy. It’s like Christmas morning every day waking up to that sweet face.
1. I love listening to my daugter breathe at night while she is sleeping.
2. I love how my son (8) and I have a secret way of saying I Love You. We hold hands and squeeze each other 3 times for I. LOVE. YOU!
3. I love watching my kids ride their bikes outside, and my son cheering his sister on to victory. My daughter didn’t walk until she was 3 1/2, so to see her pedal her bike at 5 is devine.
1. I am loving that I reconnected this week with a very, very good friend from college!
2. I am loving that my baby girl is now 5 and did so well with her 5 yr check up.
3. I am loving that it is finally feeling like fall here in Indianapolis! It’s about time!
Let us know how the Buddy Walk goes! Ours is next week. (Feel like coming up to Indianapolis and walking with us? You’re more than welcome). Give Nella and Lainey some squeezes from us!
Jen and Miss Mia
Oh, and by the way. LOVE the pictures of the girls in the leaves! Soooo stinkin’ adorable. I am addicted to your blog!
I’m loving my new sneakers, the ones with angled heels that are supposed to shape your legs. I have to exercise somehow!
I’m loving spending time getting to know my new little one and watching her and her sisters learn to love each other.
I’m loving your fall blog look!
A) Loving the smores muffins that are baking in the oven this very moment
B) Loving the pedicure that my mom is taking me to get this afternoon for my birthday

3. That today is Sweetest Day- and theres a heart banner hanging from my little girls room as a surprise for when she wakes up. Little hearts are stuck all around the house, waiting for the little ones to spy them. Its just so much fun making each day special for my children. Thank you Kelle for inspiring me to enjoy the small things!!!!!
1. Loving the pictures of your girls in the leaves – let me know if you want more. We’ve got about eight millions tons getting ready to fall from the trees in our backyard.

3. Loving that as I type, my girl just woke up and its babbling away and I can listen to her through the microphone….
Love her little voice.

2-I love that my inlaws are visiting today. they haven’t seen my girl in a long time and I know my husband doesn’t like that he doesn’t see his family often
3-I love that its going to be sunny tomorrow. I want to be outdoors
I sympathize with you on the shin splints! I stopped running because mine are so bad and never heal. Ice & advil will help

Ugh! It is ridiculous how much I love your children.. your home.. your blog!! And I don’t even know you (or maybe that is the point; thanks to the medium of blogging I *do* know you!)
I also love the big cuddly belly my sister in law is carrying around, keeping safe my tiny niece that I am so eagerly waiting for.
Lastly I looove the change of the season. As I type this there are frantic winds rushing around outside reminding me that the summer storm season is coming. The atmosphere that you can feel before an Australian summer storm is magical. The best part about the change of seasons is I can enjoy the photos on your blog that remind me in six months time I get to enjoy a different excitement altogether!
Thanks for blogging x

Hi to you and yours, Kelle!
What I’m loving right now:

I love…

That we have a party to go to tonight!
1. Loving that it is Saturday with no big plans
2. It is fall

2. I love that it’s the weekend and I get to spend every second with my family.
3. I love, love, love that when I left school Friday, ALL six of my Autistic students (mainstreamed in my class with a total of 21) earned an A or B on their Social Studies test. I could hardly contain my smiles for them!

3. Loving how excited my kiddos are to go to the pumpkin patch today with momma and grandma…and then to come home and help momma make pea soup in honor of our local high school football game. (The oldest interstate rivalry in the U.S.!!)
Loving that my long awaited surgery is scheduled for Oct. 27th. There is relief in sight.
Loving that my husband woke up last night just to check on me and make sure I was okay. so sweet.
Loving my beautiful daughters who’s lives are about to change with this major surgery, but all they say to me is “it’s okay, as long as you get better.”
Love that I am sitting by a warm fire with a nice cup of coffee with flavored creamer while my 4 children are sleeping… (a cool rainy morning here in upstate NY)
Love that I just ordered the Zumba workout. So excited to get started with that.
Love that we are going to start painting and redecorating our little boys room today. He is 6 now and doesn’t want a “baby” room anymore… (bittersweet)
1. I love that listening to Bob Marley inspires me to clean the bathroom (yes, for real!), and that I do this with zeal – dancing and singing the entire time. Of course, it took me two hours to clean the loo last night.
2. Fall; I love how walking with my mom out in the woods on a clear, crisp day makes me feel like I am truly living in that moment. In the present.
3. Right now, I love that I’m living in the moment, and taking the time to appreciate the little things that go unnoticed to other people.
What I’m loving right now:
1. Fall. The changing colours, the fact that it’s almost Halloween, the fact that I can knit lots of cozy things. Truly my favourite season.
2.The research I’ve been doing for my next history paper. Some horrifying stuff, but oh so interesting.
3. The book I’m currently reading. Not too serious, not too hard to read. Just right.
I love that my 2.5 yr old has started taking 3 hour naps.
I love that my 14 month old gives the biggest hugs.

Love ing how you celebrate your girls, I have five daughters and love the celebration of felinity!
Loving fall — we are northerners so we are in the beauty of colored leaves and lawns covered with orange and yellow carpets of leaves
Loving the end of the canning season — applesauce and then our kitchen turns to some degree of normalcy, whatever that is!
Congratulations on your Buddy Walk fundraising!
I love that the house is quiet while everyone is still sleeping and I get a little time to myself.
I love that the weather has finally cooled and it’s beginning to feel like fall.
I love that I get to spend some time with my niece today while we pick out a pattern and fabric for a dress for her school’s fall dance.

I love Fall so much, and I am also from Michigan, and still in Michigan so me and the baby boy are going to go play in some leaves today!
I love how beautiful the leaves look today, I know I have to soak it in before they all fall in the next week.
I love watching my little one learn and grow, he is such a blessing!

I have found your blog recently and absolutely adore it!
What I am loving right now:

The pictures of your daughters in the Autumn leaves are just gorgeous 🙂
I had shin splints once – oh my word, so painful. I sympathise..
Beautiful giveaway – that necklace is utterly lovely – I’d love to be entered please!
Three things I’m loving, include:
-not being back at work until the 1st November – as much as I love my job, the time off is much needed & appreciated 🙂
-the new words my nephew is coming out with every day. He’s 21 months old & he’s at the stage where his voice has just clicked into place & he’s trying to copy EVERYTHING – adorable.
-the fact I’m taking a trip with my Nan on Monday for a few days. I’m slightly nervous about it for some reason, but I really feel (/hope!) it’s going to be great, for both of us..
Thank you for your wonderful blog – I love it when I see you’ve posted something new 🙂

3. Learning to be a nurse. I’m in my first year of nursing at the University here.
Tiger Balm works wonders for shin splints. Actually it is one of my favorite ointments for just about any muscle aches. Just make sure to wash your hands after using it, it burns….bad.

Oh, and the three things I am loving.
1. Feeling my baby move inside of me.
2. Watching the animals play. The cat fits right in with the dogs and terrorizes them just as much as they do him.
3. The loss of 100+ degree temperatures. So glad it will be lower before I go into the third trimester 🙂
Love love love the leaf idea- you are so creative!
1) Having just gone through a terribly emotional ordeal in my life, I’m LOVING and appreciating to the depths of my soul the 2 little miracles that are mine.
2) I’m LOVING my husband as we approach our 7 year anniversary (and I’m not feeling itchy – not one bit! :o). He’s my best friend and truly knows me inside and out like no one other.
3) I’m LOVING that I’ve recently been introduced to a stunning nature center with apple trees and meandering walking trails and views that make you stop just to take it all in. The best surprise of all was that this nature center is practically around the corner from where I live. My husband and I are not from the area so I’ve been driving a good 1/2 hour or so away for a nature center to take my little ones to. Now I only need to take a 5 minute drive to escape surburia and be one with nature for a moment in time.
Cheers to fall and all the beauty that it brings!
1. I am loving that one year ago today I went into labor with my son, Hendrix.
2. I am loving all the 1st birthday party preparations!

about this moment… this very moment right now…
…the sound of my little Ella in her bouncy as her conversation turns from “ba ba ohhh ahhh” to less patient (and predictable) “ahhhhs” and wimpers ready for a nap.
…feeling the 800 miles between HERE and my family who has gathered this morning to celebrate my niece’s first birthday – knowing that great conversations and food will fill the rooms at my sister’s house. it’s days like today that make it difficult to accept one of the best decisions in my life to move so far away to this town where I have begun to build my own family.
…that the only reason I know what day of the week it is, is because of the shows that are on my favorite channel. Days have begun to run into each other since I’ve decided to stay home with my (now 5 month old) instead of teach this school year. Moments that could never be replaced!
I love this moment.

2. I’m loving this rain we’re getting out here in Southern California. Makes it feel more like home. (Ohio!)
3. My apple spice candles. My house smells incredible!

2. LOVING watching Nella grow up — she and my little one, Campbell, were born a day apart.
3. LOVING the beginning of my new career path as a Childbirth Hypnosis instructor and Labor Doula.
1. Loving the cooler weather. Nothing says Fall likes jeans & a light jacket.
2. Loving a lazy Saturday morning. Daughter is knee deep in play dough & son is doing touchdowns in the living room. I’m just chilling & soaking it in. And smelling play dough 😉
3. Waiting for hubby to come home any minute with my caffeine. Nothing like a cold can of Dew.

I LOVE the colourful leaves on the trees here
I love that I got to make homemade apple sauce with apples picked from the apple orchard close by.
AND of course I’m lovin on my kiddos!
1. My husband is in the Coast Guard and we are origionally from the West Coat. We now live in WI and I am loving all things Fall here. Corn mazes, 50,000 differnt varieties of pumpkins and gourds, pick-you-own apple orchards, the changing of the leaves, and the crunch, crunch, crunching of a little monkey relishing her first Fall as she sits amoungst the leaves.
2. Anticipating all the fun we will have when our friends, who we were stationed with in OR, will come for a visit next weekend. And once again we will sit back and watch with spilling over contented bliss as our daughters play and form that everlasting bond that will make them more like family than friends. The same bond their parents made seven years ago.
3. I am begining to feel the warmth from the light at the end of our, 10mo old daughter’s medical treatment for her hemangioma (www.bumpcourage.blogspot.com)tunnel. And each day I am feeling warmer and warmer, a little from almost being done with medication and procedures, and maybe a little from acceptance. Either way it’s good to feel warm and not scared and alone on a medical island. We are loving life.

3. I am loving the gooey butter cake my mom made for our anniversary. It’s wonderful to have a good excuse to eat something bad for breakfast! 🙂
1. I’m lovin that I am able to drive to Michigan today to spend time at my cottage with my grandma, and see those beautiful leaves!
2. I’m loving that things are going really good right now in life. Things seem to be really positive right now.

How beatuiful pictures :- )
What I love about this moment is:
-My newly painted toenails!
– That my best friends from Norway just called me and talked with me for an hour!
-That its exactly one week left until birthday!
I am loving that I finally found a great pair of brown riding boots at Macys today.
I am loving the 38 pound pumpkin I dragged through the pumpkin patch in the rain that is sitting on my front porch.
And I am loving that the amazing people at the Apple store gave me a new iphone 4 for free when I dropped mine and broke the screen.
1. Loving hearing my boys playing together on the monitor (even though they’re supposed to be napping!)
2. Loving the smell of fall and watching the brightly colored leaves falling from my office window as I type.
3. Loving the fact that I’m rocking being a full-time employee, a student (9 credit hours), a mom, and a wife.
I have so very much to be thankful for! Love the pictures of the girls in the leaves. If you ever need more let me know – we have literally a TON in our yard!
Hope your shins feel better soon, Kelle! 🙂
loving that pearls are so simple but so elegant and feel like the perfect touch to almost any outfit.
loving that this blog is my daily devo for motherhood.
love that you had leaves shipped to you. craving the fall colors right along with you, sista.
I am loving:
1 – That it is autumn here and my garden is full of beautiful golden leaves
2 – My baby has found her voice and babbles away to me for ages
3 – That my dad is home from Iraq to come and see his granddaughter 😀
1) Loving that my miracle preemie daughter just celebrated her second birthday on Wednesday.

3) Loving spending the long weekend at the lake with my hubby and little girl and all the rest of our family <3
My 3 things I’m loving today. 🙂

2 ~ a hubby who is on his way home from work right now, yay!
3 ~ feeling my little one on the way happily kicking inside me ♥
1. My Irish twins
2. My new hair color
3. Jack O Lanterns
Sitting with Isaac (5 mths) while I type & thinking about Nella’s rockstar debut today. You go girl!
1…so loved the fall drive we took this afternoon (I’m from AR)
2…Love reading your blog
3….LOVE wrestling my two crazy boys.
1) Love the red maple in the front yard with flaming red leaves falling to the ground at this very moment.
2) Love that we had two visitors for lunch to enjoy my husband’s homemade chili and local apple cider.
3) Love that autumn tells me that the in-between season when we know winter’s coming can parallel our own spiritual journeys. Every season brings beauty, hope, and promise–if we yield to it and let it do its work.
Yikes, I hope your shins are okay. Go dig harder for those running shoes girl, or just buy some new ones!
Those leaves look so inviting, I might just have to jump into a pile of my own. (:
When I’m loving right now:
1. My job. The people their are so nice, the costumers are usually interesting and just as sweet, and I love love love every part of it. I can actually say I like going to work.
2. My friends. I always love them but I love them so much more every day and every time they show they really care for me. It’s beautiful having people who aren’t blood related to you at all feel like family.
3. To be honest, finding a third thing to love right now is hard because I’ve had such a bad month and a half right now that finding the good in anything is kind of hard. But I’d have to say I love the changing seasons. It’s cold and I may curse the cold up and down, I’m really happy for it. I want holidays, food, family and love to surround me these coming months.
Have a great weekend, kelle & family!!

2. That it’s the middle of October in Iowa and it’s GORGEOUS outside…Sun Shining, leaves changing and NOT THAT COLD!
3. That my husband and I both work Full Time (and I work a PT job too), and we don’t have to put our 2 month old son in daycare, we’re always home with him.
Bonus: That my house is clean! 🙂
1. I love that my daughter ROCKED her first theater festival yesterday.
2. I love that I can hear piles and piles of Legos being sifted through in the playroom right now as my son plays with his buddy.
3. I love my window view as I relax on my super comfy sofa on this gorgeous Saturday!
1. Loving that I just found out that we’re having another baby boy.
2. That my twin boys are climbing all over Daddy while I write this and I get to listen to all of them laugh and giggle.
3. That it is fall and the leaves are BEAUTIFUL!!!
1. I love that my husband got to show off dinosaur bones at the museum to our almost 8 month son.
2. I love snuggling with my little Teradactyl while he is nursing.
3. I love fall in the upper Midwest!
Hey Kelle. I’m really loving reading through some of the comments above! But more personally…
1. LOVING Queensland finally seeing Spring sunshine and blue sky, it’s been awhile coming!
2. LOVING regular snuggles with my beautiful friend Sarah’s chubby, baby-powder smelling, sift skinned new born baby.
3. LOVING the amazement of every day, as I watch four babies develop into their individual characters.
Much love.
1. Loving the balloon release last night for infant loss awareness. It was wonderful releasing the balloons and remembering my precious niece Kelsey who was stillborn this past April.
2. That my 10 month old Peyton has finally popped out one of her top teeth! They have been driving her bonkers!
3. Fall….pumpkins, mums, leaves, sweatshirts!
I’m loving that our daughter, who has muscular dystrophy, competed in her first swim meet on a “real” swim team and, even though each event took her twice as long as the other swimmers, everyone cheered her on – even the other members of her relay team.
I’m loving this amazing fall weather that we are having here in northwest Iowa.
I’m loving that I don’t have anywhere I have to be tonight and I can spend the evening with my kids for a family movie night.
Kathleen
I love that you had leaves flown in! Lainey & Nella look adorable (as always)!
Three things I’m loving this moment:
1. Fall weather is here – the crisp coolness is something I can’t get enough of (and when the leaves fall I’ll jump in them for you!)
2. Realizing that priorities change and knowing that not having a clean house is awesome when you realize the marriage that resides there is hilarious and fabulous and rock solid.
3. Anticipating Thanksgiving because it will be the first time my niece (who is almost 16 months) will be to this state since she was born. Can’t wait!
Shipped-in leaves….genius! Is it just me, or is Nella looking extra “big girl” in recent pics? Love your blog!
1. Loving finally feeling a little bit better after being sick for a while.
2. Loving snuggeling up in my bed, so ready to fall asleep.
3. Loving reading your blog. I’m only 17, but your blog affects me in ways you can never imagine!
1. Loving my amazing town of Missoula.
2. Loving how today at a race, when our stroller collapsed and children flew out the amazing people of this town helped my husband out, stopped their race and took care of my precious children even getting blood all over their hands.
3. Absolutely LOVING that my children and husband are OK minus some cuts, fat lips, and bruises.
1. I love Missouri in the fall. It’s one of the redeeming qualities of St. Louis. It’s absolutely beautiful.
2. I love friends that will be great support system when I’m unable to stand on my own.
3. I love that I’m losing weight and that I’ll be rewarding myself with an awesome tattoo in a few weeks.
1. My son happily playing with my husband and our dog.
2. The scrumptious smell of taco meat simmering away on my stove.
3. The fact that I stayed in sweats, cuddly and warm in this GA fall weather!!!!
The girls in the leaves just melted me into a puddle, so frameable.
I live in Aus so we don’t get the glorious Fall colors, pumpkin patches and all that good, comfort stuff North America does but one day my girls will return to their daddy’s homeland, Canada, and get to hurl themselves into a big pile of Fall leaves, that’s my quiet promise to them!
Happy walkin’ Kelle!
1. I am loving that we had a chilly day at soccer, to come home and have chili dogs and movies
2. I am loving that I had a nap today, my husband took care of the kids and I was on my own.
3. I love that my husband is cooking dinner, he works and commutes a lot during the week and it’s great when he’s here and can have some down time
I’m so jealous of your leaves!
Let’s see. My in-the-moments right this second…
1. The lingering scent of dinner hanging in the house–sesame chicken and mashed cauliflower, mmm.
2. My youngest little flirting with me–I type two words, stop, and look at her playing on the floor beside me. She quickly looks away with a smug little smile, waits until I’m typing again, and turns her head to stare at me again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
3. My older two snuggled up on the couch with a blanket, sleepy-eyed and barely hanging on but desperate to finish watching their new Tinkerbell movie.
1. LOVE that my daughter is going to have a sister. One of the greatest gifts in life is sisterhood.
2. LOVE that my house smells like pumpkin spice. It reminds me that it’s Fall, even though it’s still in the 90’s.
3.LOVE the jewelry at The Vintage Pearl

I am lovin’ that I can feel our little guy growing in my belly. His stretches, kicks, and squirms make me smile.
I secretly love how our very independent two year old scans the room for anything that will allow him to push the envelope. He is his momma’s boy and that makes me outwardly roll my eyes but inwardly my heart melts.

Oh, I would so love one of those necklaces! What else am I loving today?
1) the smell of our first apple pie of the season in the oven RIGHT NOW, made with love by my husband, my daughter, and me tonight.
2) the thrill of victory — my 9 yr old son tested and passed for his black belt in tae kwon do today — after working long and hard for several years with several failed attempts. He is feeling proud tonight!
3) an episode of Love Boat loaded and ready in the DVD player, ready to play when the pie is ready, the kitchen is cleaned, the candles lit, and the kiddos jammied. Our little family tradition.
And, of course, always loving your blog!

Peace out. Thinking of you today and your buddy walk.

Kelle, you ask a hard thing today. My mother in law who I love dearly passed away a little less than two weeks ago and I feel like I am living in a cloud of black. Finding three things that I am loving at this moment is hard to do… so I’m going to take the easy way out.
1. My wonderful husband who has been such a source of strength to all around him even though he is hurting so badly at this time.
2. My sweet three year old who constantly reminds us that grandma doesn’t want us to be sad, she wants us to be happy.
3. My adorable 9 month old who has recently adopted a new way of smiling that involves scrunching her eyes closed and crinkling her nose while grinning.
1. I am loving and cherising this small moment in time where my family is all in one place and all together.
2. I am loving sunset drives down country lanes admiring nature’s beauty with the changing leaves.
3. I am loving digging out my old baggy sweatpants and sweatshirts and warming up with hot cocoa!
So upset, I tried to donate and they rejected me because the said my canadian postal code was entered incorrectly. I tried everything. I think it was reading my 0 as an O. I do a lot of online shopping, trust me…I know how to enter my postal code on an online form!!! Sorry that I wasn’t able to contribue, I will donate to the Canadian DSS on Nella’s behalf. Keep doing what you are doing!
Let’s see….3 things….
~oldest daughter home from her first homecoming dance 🙂
~littlest daughter tucked in between her daddy and me
~middle daughter helping her big sis get ready for dance…
Love seeing the girls in the leaves!!! Inspired to take pictures tomorrow 🙂

Thanks for being you, having two girls when I have two boys, for sharing my interests from so far away and for loving your girls with as much abandon as I love my boys and will love our adopted child when we finally find her.

And I love your blog and pictures!! Wish I could meet you and your beauties..
I’ve been thinking this but don’t always comment. A give away seemed like a great reason to say I’m glad you found your voice again. I missed your honesty. If you can’t blog and be yourself, what’s the point?

2. Still smiling and overjoyed at the weekend I had sharing memories and doing service for others with some of my oldest friends.
3. And last but not least I absolutely love that the weather has dropped to the perfect fall temperatures. (Especially now that I can wear my new corduroy jacket with a scarf)
As always your littlest ones are adorable and the fall photo shoot is beautiful.

2. Loving that next week we have our October break, so I can snuggle up with my little princess and spend time making crafts and taking walks and dressing up.

I am LOVING the fall colors in beautiful Washington state,
I am LOVING that the boy who stole my heart a year ago just celebrated his first birthday.
I am LOVING the new adventure we are about to embark on.
I love the fun-filled fall family weekend that we have planned and taking Alivia to her first fair/carnival!
I love that while I was catching up on your blog posts, and reading the part where Lainey was trying to put on 3 skirts, my daughter was here in this room trying to put on 3 headbands and a pair of rain boots. Made me smile:)
I love the very big decision that I made recently and as soon as I made it I felt instant relief and new that it was the right one for myself and family.
I ALSO love your playlist:-) Even if I am caught up on your blog I will come to it and play the playlist as loud as I can and dance around the room with my lovebug 🙂
Wow, I have a lot of catching up to do. I haven’t checked in in a bit and I need to read all these new wonderful posts!! 🙂

I love that it’s fall and the evenings are cool and the leaves are beautiful!

I love that my children are all happy and healthy.
1. living in the moment with my family…everything else can wait.
2. Family pile on the couch to watch a movie.
3. Bright red leaves on the trees outside my office…so beautiful!
I never imagined the thought of shipping in leaves… how awesome. I love spending time in the leaves and cant wait to do it with my own kiddos. (coming soon enough)
I love that my daughter shared your blog with me this weekend, while she was down for a family visit so I could spend the day with her and my 3 beautiful, amazing granddaughters.
I love that you have touched so many people by your blog and it brings awareness to so many people who do not take the time to think about life in the eyes of every child . So many turn their head for fear of hurting feelings.
I love that you would think of having leaves sent to you so your precoius daughters can enjoy and feel the leaves for themselves and most of on experience the beautiful colors that many people in Vermont that see them every year probably take for granted. We think oh they are pretty but we alos know what is coming behind them, I am as guilty as the next when we take things for granted that things will not change and our life will always be the same tommorow or as we want it to be and sometimes things happen to make us realize things change and alot of times once the hurt or shock has passed it becomes a very good change. One that we can not imagine how we lived without it in the past. Thank you
1. I’m loving that I was able to spend the weekend with one of my best friends across the country.

Loving watching my kids with their Nana and Papa and the mutual awe they have for them.
