About a year ago we started a tradition of taking the kids for some one on one time on Sunday mornings before church, rotating each week. Jerry takes one one week, I take one the next. We've had some great times.
We love our church family! It's fun doing life with these guys. We've been hosting a home group at our place and we're just finishing up The Basic Series by Francis Chan. It's amazing stuff! Church isn't about a building, traditions, being religious. It's loving God, loving others and being a family of God. Doing life together, being there for each other, whatever our personalities or circumstances.
I attended my third London Bloggers Tea on Sunday. Always great to see so many bloggers together and catch up with some I haven't seen in awhile. More about the tea coming soon!
We've had some unseasonably warm weather. Doesn't keep me from wanting things of Fall, like making pumpkin shmear!!
Now if I could only find pumpkin bagels, I'd be set. I know, I could make these. Maybe, just maybe I'll do it one day!
I really like one on one time. My kids sre such different people alone.
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you at the tea, I'm looking forward to your post :)

Sounds like you have had a brilliant week, and how nice for your children to have one on one time

Thank you for sharing the pumpkin shmear recipe! I saw you posted them on Instagram but I didn't spot the recipe. I'm definitely going to have to make these now though - they look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteSo true! Mine are too!
ReplyDeleteExactly! They love having their day. They feel special!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They seem to love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's good stuff!! Even better with a pumpkin bagel!
ReplyDeleteI love what you said about your church - it sounds like a really great place!
ReplyDeleteIt's really sweet that you guys make such a good effort to spend one-on-one time with the kids. They adore those outings, I'm sure!
It's such a lovely idea to have one on one time with the children - that must be a really special time! I've never tried pumpkin anything.. perhaps it is time I tried it!

Pumpkin bagels? I never knew such a thing existed! I'm definitely going to have to find some and make these a-sap! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those family traditions - and they're so vital for kids growing up!
ReplyDeleteHang on, stop the bus, pumpkin shmear? Where has this been all my life??
I am so disappointed I just missed the London Blogger's Tea Party!
ReplyDeleteoh man, I need that pumpkin dip stuff in my life. I'm resisting the pumpkin spice lattes until next week so maybe I can make this and tide myself over.
