Crabtree Falls and Valentine's Day

Crabtree Falls On Sunday, we went on a hike at Crabtree Falls. It was amazing!! This is something I wrote in the car on the way home, through the hills, listening to bluegrass music in the rain: The Waterfall The breeze from the waterfall blows my hair across my face. I pause my descent of the stairs to close my eyes and take a deep breath of the fresh, cool air. The roaring of the water overwhelms me as I caress the camera around my neck. Juliet and Lily sitting in leaves Gabriella and Juliet at the falls Belle took this one! Valentine's Day 💗 Ok, so for our family, Valentine's Day is next to Christmas on a list of holiday importance. Mom makes a cute breakfast and sets the table nice and when we get up Mom and Dad give us little bags or baskets of little goodies. Little things like stickers, pencils, chocolate, notebooks, and sometimes a cute shirt. :) Us in our Valentine shirts So... yeah!!!!!!!!! :) Comment and tell u...

Coffee and Fall Festivals

Hello!! Thanks for stopping by! 😊 (Just so you know, Belle's writing this) Rush has been enjoying coffee, as usual. 😉 When we tell people that he likes coffee - black - they usually say, "Well, who gave him coffee in the first place?" The answer is... me. I think I'm a wonderful big sister, exposing my little brother to some of the most wonderful things in life as soon as possible. 😉 On Saturday, we went to a harvest festival downtown at the Lynchburg Community Market. L to R: Belle as fox, Gabby as Cat, and Lily and Juliet just have little pretty masks on On Saturday we also went to a harvest festival put on every year by Bethel Mennonite Church . This is the second year we've gone. It's super fun!! They have a benefit auction that I bought something from last year. And a tractor ride thing! This year Last year - Belle from Cinnamon Sisters :)

Living in Peace

What do you think of when you think of peace? I think of peaceful things our creator has made, like the ocean and music. But peace is much deeper than just the feeling of reading a book on a Saturday, or drinking tea and writing. A scripture verse that has really spoken to me is Romans 12:18: “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” This verse is saying that we should do everything we can to live at peace with everyone - whether it’s your sister, your neighbor or someone at church. But living at peace is more than just staying out of fights and seeing your part in an argument. Living at peace seems more like having a peaceful attitude. The definition of the word peace is ‘ freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility.’ A peaceful attitude will be an attitude that will have “quiet and tranquility”. Being a peacemaker is something that I am working on. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) But wh...

What we're doing this week

Hello, everyone! We're going to share some fun things we've been doing this week! What we're eating Belle's Superfood Pudding We have the Trim Healthy Mama book by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett, ( you can buy it here ) and I modified their recipe for Chia Tapioca Pudding (page 234) and came out with this! This is the way I did it, but I imagine you could could change it up a lot to make it more convenient. ;) Directions The night before: Put 1 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk and 1/2 teaspoon glucomannen (you can find it here ) into a blender and blend briefly to mix glucomannen with milk so there isn't any lumps. Don't keep blending until a thickening effect occurs. Put it into a mason jar with a lid and add 3/4 - 1 Tbs. Chia seeds and about 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, honey, stevia or whatever sweetener you would like to use. Put the lid on the jar and shake it well. Put the jar in the fridge and shake it again before going to bed...

Happy Friday!

Hello, everyone! I (Belle) took some anniversary pictures of our mom and dad last week! Here's one: I really enjoy photography. :) Here's one of baby brother: He's walking all over the place now! It's so cute. - Cinnamon Sisters

This week... no, this month... well, the past 2 months!

Sorry it's been so long since our last post! We've been busy! From Belle: I just finished To Kill a Mockingbird . I loved it! :) We've made some changes to our yard this past week: On Friday we made a fort out of just sticks, branches and leaves! We named it the 'Tea Tree' and right now we're using it as our clubhouse. Mom has a thing with reclaimed wood, and when she saw piles of old wood in front of a neighbor's house she couldn't resist. There was an old tire amongst mom's soon-to-be shelves... hence our new tire swing!! Dad helped us put it up on Saturday, and it's really fun. A few weeks ago we went to Appomattox Court House, where Lee surrendered to Grant at the end of the Civil War! It was really cool, and we learned a lot. We learned that Appomattox Court House is the town thingy and Appomattox Courthouse is the actual courthouse... it's rather confusing! So it turns out neither Lee nor...

Throwback Thursday {Also some unrelated hair stuff}

Happy #TBT everyone!! We aren't especially qualified to do a Throwback Thursday post, primarily because we don't have that much of a history to throw you back into... but why miss out on the internet tradition? Just please don't laugh, ok? Ok, fine. You can laugh. ;) Halloween 2009 (Gabriella as bunny princess, Belle as fairy princess, and baby Lily as... ?) And (oh, and we're retreating from #TBT zone now... I'll give you a minute to return your mind to 2017... ok, we're ready. :) Belle did her hair in a new way: A pull-through braid... here's how...

We're sorry we haven't written in forever!!!

Sorry it's been so long since we last wrote a post!! We keep meaning to... and then it just doesn't happen... Anyway, it's National Coffee Day! Yay!! We found a list of places to celebrate here . :) I (Belle) just realized that our blog posts are usually lists of things we've been doing or things we recommend instead of talking about life, so I'm going to do this one a little differently. Ready? Life. Just kidding. We are enjoying Fall (especially me) and the falling leaves that give this beautiful season its name. Also wearing warm clothes and... Pumpkin. Pancakes. Have you tried them before? If your answer is no, you need to. Seriously, stop reading this post and whip up a batch. You'll be thankful you did. 🍁☕🥞🍂 We're excited about date night, when Mom and Dad go on a date and us girls watch TV! We like to watch past episodes of 19 Kid...
