Happy weekend my friends! We are experiencing absolutely beautiful weather here in the Midwest this weekend...so I decided to take my littlest one over to the nearby forest preserve this morning.
We are lucky to be only one mile from so much beauty...
We grabbed our hats...
And headed into the woods...
We were ready for an adventure.
Of course there were a few stops along the way...
A three year old does love to examine EVERYTHING!
{sticks provide hours of interesting playtime}
As long as we were there, we thought we would gather up a few bits of nature for a little Fall decorating back home...
And all of this activity meant we needed to stop for a short rest...
...and more stick playing...
But alas, it was time to kiss the forest goodbye...
Happy Autumn!
Thanks for sharing in our adventure!
{I will be back soon with pictures from the amazing Na-Da Farm Barn Sale}

Dear Tracey,
your photos are so beautiful!
Autumn is my favorite season!
Your little one is so cute and her dress so lovely!
We had a perfect weather this weekend, too!
Have a happy new week,
Yvonne
I love how your pictures tell the whole story of your day!
Aren't the fall colors amazing this year - they seem to be richer and brighter for some reason. It's hard to believe that this time last year in NE, we had snow!
your little one is absolutely adorable and so precious with that hat on ~
Happy fall!

Hi, Sure is hot here in the Midwest, it's 83 right now in Illinois. I really would prefer 60's or low 70's.
Shes adorable!

Were you at Nada-Farm event? Oh wow...how I wish I could be live nearer...!
Francesca (from Italy).
I have had views like that where I lived in Dixon which is not too far from where you are.I call it " God's Artwork". The colors are beautiful,warm and there is a cozy feeling that you get spending some time outside taking it all in.Chickie
Your daughter is adorable. Beautiful photos of her and the gorgeous Fall colors. It looks like you two had a lovely afternoon on your walk. Those sweet times are so precious.
Beautiful pictures Tracey! Love how you captured the little things that our tiny ones love to do. Brings back many memories of when mine were little and also my oldest granddaughter. She always had to pick up stones, sticks, leaves etc. and she still does! (she is 11 now)
Your daughter is just precious!!
Happy Autumn!!
Bonjour Tracey,
What a beautiful little girl! Looks like you had a grand adventure!
Enjoy!
Mimi
I wish South Louisiana looked like this right now! Those pictures are GORGEOUS! I love fall.
Thanks so much for the beautiful package you sent when I ordered the Mary picture and the prayer cards. Your wrapping, the lavender, and the few vintage pages you included were beautiful. I felt so special receiving it!
What a precious little angel and your shots are stunning!!
