31 Days in 2012

I'm joining the Nester and hundreds of other bloggers for a 31-day writing challenge for October. My theme for the month will be "31 Days of the Gafford Life." Basically, I'll be writing about what happens in our lives for the month of October. I've been looking at our calendar and we're actually busy for the month so I won't bore you with "we sat at home today... again." :)

What you'll find this month are date nights and focusing on our marriage (even with 2 little ones running us around), recipes, menu planning tips, what we do during the day, family outings, our church and what we do there, transitioning our oldest from a crib to a "big" girl bed, our journey into taking better care of ourselves and having o and so much more. We live a simple life and enjoy being at home most of the time. So, come spend the next 31 days in the lives of the Gafford's!

I hope you'll come back each day to see how we do life together as a family!
