I do believe that it has been quite some time (and I do mean *quite*) since I’ve blogged. I guess with life, and living life, I just was too busy to remember to type anything up!
It is getting to be fall here in the grand state of Wisconsin – my husband is already asking me about where we can buy him a new winter jacket (“one that keeps the wind out this year…that other one doesn’t cut it!”), and my thoughts have turned to fall foods, cooler weather, and enjoying life as a stay at home mom now. Yes, I’m still in grad school, and yes, I still do work a bit at our public library here in town (only 10 hours a week!), but for the most part, I’ve transitioned over to becoming a “Prairie Muffin.” Yes folks, there is a label for stay at home moms who are Christians….I think it is kind of silly personally, but anything with food in the name is okay with me. 
Perusing the LLBean fall/winter catalog online makes me want to snap up as many turtlenecks, pairs of flannel lined jeans, and sweaters as possible. I have a love/hate relationship with this company…I LOVE their products, but I HATE the fact that I want want want after I look at their catalog. Same goes for Land’s End and Eddie Bauer – living very near a lake and out in the country makes the whole “lifestyle” that is featured in their catalogs seem very attainable.
Not that I want to wish the time away, but I am looking forward to winter. I say this every year, but really, I am. I love the holidays, I love the food, the atmosphere, the romantic glow of the season…I love it all. What is even better is that DH and I have a little guy to share it with this holiday season; our new little boy, nicknamed Munch. Munchie has no idea what is in store for him this holiday season – he has so many relatives to meet!
