A quiet week on Inspiration-Driven Life typically means a not-so-quiet week in Real Life. Thanks for your patience, friends, as I try to get a grasp on this slippery-slidy life.
But just to check in and say hello . . . a few Thursday things –
1. I just finished reading two of Lauren Winner’s books: Mudhouse Sabbath and Girl Meets God. Highly recommend them both; Lauren Winner writes with both insight and wit, and I highly recommend them both.
2. Mizzou’s first football game as an SEC team is this weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited to watch it with some sweet fellow alum friends.
3. More and more friends are having babies and so I’m having a field day Googling vintage children’s toys. Remember this chatter phone? And Little People? (My parents were big All My Children fans, so I named all my Little People after the soap opera characters. I had a Tad, a Dixie, a Dimitri, an Erica and a Hayley. Kid you not.)
4. I am itching to dive head-first into fall Pumpkin Season. We devoured that batch of pumpkin muffins like champions and I’m on a quest for the next pumpkin-driven recipe. Maybe something savory this time?
5. Big news is on the horizon, and I am a little afraid, but can’t wait to share the story. This story holds quite a bit of nitty gritty, nitty gritty which you loved us through so beautifully. Next week on the blog, I’ll share a glimpse into our story and our big news. It’s a little professional and a little personal and a little scary and a lot exciting . . . Come back for it all next week?

Love you!
Love you back, Erin!!
Can’t wait to hear about it and celebrate and walk through it with you, even if only through the web!
Thank you so much! Love love love the internet for connecting us like this
Ooh, a cliffhanger
And that’s hilarious about your Little People names. My mom called AMC “her show” so I remember exactly who they all are, haha!
AMC was quite a show! I love the drama of it all!
