Mitten Moments

Welcome to my Mitten Moments! 

Random moments from my week that I am sharing with you!!

Happy first Saturday of October!

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” – L. M. Montgomery, Ann of Green Gables

You better believe I’m here for it!

I say, bring on those pretty sweaters that have been packed away, those cool crisp nights sleeping with the windows open, those family trips to the cider mill with warm donuts and hot cider AND all those magnificent fall colors!

How is your fall decorating coming along?

Have you started? No shame if you haven’t. There’s still time!

I am definitely all done!

This Week On The Blog

This week on the blog, I participated in the most amazing fall home tour with 29 of my fellow blogging friends! It was a fun week with so many inspirational accounts. If you missed The Best Fall Home Tour, you can still check it out!

Books and More Books

Do you read?

I love to when I have time.

Continuing to buy books, when I haven’t even read all the books I have waiting in the wings, well, it’s how I roll.

Can you ever have too many books?? I think not!

This week, as luck would have it, a little package showed up on my doorstep.

Can you guess what it was?

Yep…you’re right! A new book and it’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Have you read it? I hear it’s a great read.

I’ll keep you posted!

Other Random Items This Week

Believe it or not, my dahlias are still growing strong! How about yours?

My vegetable garden is officially out of veggies and all cleaned up.

A friend turned me on to a new station on Pandora. It’s Singers-Songwriters and trust me, it will give you all the feels.

And Now…

Here are some other WONDERFUL moments, I found this week:

These amazing sheetpan nachos

This beautiful home library

Simple Steps to Decorate Your Fall Porch

How to paint a fabric sofa

This pretty farmhouse mudroom

I hope you have enjoyed my Mitten Moments, this weekend.

I hope all the moments of your Saturday bring you more joy than you could imagine!

      That’s amazing that you still have tomatoes. Mine did horrible this year. I am going to fry the green ones I pulled. That’s all I have left. Thanks for stopping by! Happy fall!

    I agree, you can never have too many books. You have me feeling motivated to clean up my veggie pots outside and work on that fall wreath that I started last year…lol.

Now that Christmas is over, the time has come to pack away all that beautiful decor we’ve used. 

Once it’s all packed up my house looks so much bigger...or maybe just empty. I’m always looking for new ways to make our cottage more cozy in the winter months.

On the blog, I’m gathering with some of my good blogging friends and we are sharing 12 easy ways to organize and decorate after the holidays!

Good morning!! I am happy to report that it’s Good morning!! 

I am happy to report that it’s going to be a White Christmas in the Mitten, this year! We have had crazy wind and blowing snow, but it’s supposed to clam down by this afternoon! 

I know the snow is complicating travel and Christmas plans for some of you and I pray you all get where you are going, safe and sound! 

I’m signing off for a few days to enjoy some much needed time with my family! I’m so grateful to celebrate the reason for the season! 

I’m sharing some photos from my Christmas home tour in case you missed it! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! May it be merry and bright! 

Peace and Blessings, 

Kim ❤️🎄
