Leaves

Good morning! I must say I am excited about my new blogging schedule. I went photo walking so I could have some new images to share with you today and I got a lot of behind-the-scenes work done.

I am almost done choosing the images for my 2012 calendar! This is usually the hardest part of the process and the most time consuming. If you bought my calendars in years past, I would love feedback on them. Do you like the size or would you like it to be bigger? I am leaning towards a bigger calendar this year and making the photos 4x6 so after the month is over, you could trim and frame it if you wanted. Thoughts?

I also set up shop over at Poppytalk Handmade, who launched their Pre-Holiday Market today. Yes, the H word is upon us. I am focused on Thanksgiving first, although I am preparing my shop for the shopping portion of the holiday season. We started a daily family gratitude journal. My boys seem a tad unsure about the whole thing, but they are being good sports about it and supporting my idea.

I am also spending a lot of time at this incredibly cool site, Teaching Channel, that showcases innovative teachers in action. I learned about it from the charter school we attended in California and I'm looking for as many ways to support and supplement my Noodle right now. Check out Ms. Noonan's morning meeting with her 5th graders! Can you imagine if families or businesses started their days this way too? What incredible, positive energy!

Here is a bit of link love until we meet again...

a video about murmuration and there is a canoe!

a little cute overload to make you smile on a Monday

flaming foliage candleholders from martha, if you are feeling a little bit crafty (hey, I just noticed Martha has a "pin it" button on her site now)

adorable peg dolls for Thanksgiving, is it me or are peg dolls the cutest trend?

Finally, if you want to connect between weekly blog updates, you can find me on Twitter  and Pinterest daily (or close to it!).
