Have you noticed that the pumpkin spice thing has maybe gotten out of hand? The Mister and I have been playing find the weirdest pumpkin spiced product. So far I win with the Gouda cheese. What are some of the odd items you have seen? #toomuchpumpkinspice #whygouda? #pumpkinspicecheese #stopalready #pumpkinspicejumpedtheshark
This sweet ginger boy must have missed the Mama Bear while I was away. After I got up for the morning he snuggled right up on my pillow. Lincoln may the Cat King of our forest but this tender heart fella loves his Mama. #lincolnthecat #mycatlincoln #gingercat #marmaladecatsofinstagram #marmaladecat #gingercatsofinstagram #gingercatsarethebest
If one were to be in Chicago then one SHOULD find some deep dish pizza. The Mister and I stopped in at Giordano’s before our flights out of Midway. We ordered a Special and enjoyed every bite. The rest of the pizza became my seat companion on the flight home. I travel frequently and find little things humorous. Such as in Chicago airports: it is not unusual for people to be having pizza as carry on. In other airports this would be seen as strange or concerning. I guess pizza is not that important to some people! The pizza made it home safe and was enjoyed by the children with great excitement. Maybe we should have brought home a bigger pizza....#deepdishpizza #chicagodeepdish #itsachicagothang #giordanospizza
Went with the Mister to South Bend. 20+ years together and we finally go to a Notre Dame game together. It just so happened that it was rather cold. Go ND! #notredamefootball #touchdownjesus #ndfootball #gameday

I pray for peace today. Peace between Americans as we so fortunately take part in an election. Remember to be gracious towards those whose views differ from yours. I hope everyone will remember that we are Americans regardless of age, color, sex, family structure, financial situation, level of citizenship, religion, etc. We do not have to agree but we all should respect our privilege to cast a vote. 🇺🇸 We visited Fort McHenry in Baltimore Maryland over the summer. I took a quick picture of the flag waving in the wind. Standing in the very spot where Americans fought and successfully defeated the British in the War of 1812. Being able to vote today was fought for by those from our past. Such a great gift we Americans have this right to vote. 🇺🇸 #getoutthevote #vote #americanrights #fortmchenrynationalmonument #vote2018 #fortmchenry #fortmchenrynps
Dia de los Muertos. Tonight we will have a little All Souls Day feast. This morning our littlest girl participated in the Ghost Chase obstacle course run. Another fantastic tradition her school carries on every year. On Halloween I hung up our Sugar Skull banner and I am wondering if a certain teenage girl might walk off with it. The little sugar skull and the sugar skull necklace were found in Mexico years ago shortly after the Dia de los Muertos celebrations came to an end. I have to mention here that I along with my Mother and law and the two older girls took a drive north to see Todos Santos. The displays and decorations throughout the town were stunning. It was such a beautiful experience to see the pieces of the traditional celebration in person. Although we are not of Mexican nor Central American descent this is absolutely beautiful and meaningful holiday that I love dearly. #halloween #manteldecor #falldecor #sugarskull
Costumes on buckets ready! It was a great trick or treat night. Perfect fall weather and great friends. (My Mister dressed up as a Census worker, complete with a census questionnaire) I wasn’t able to get a picture of my Princess Leia girl but she looked fabulous. #costumes #halloweencostume #halloween
