I
am blessed with a plethora of fabulous people in my life. Surrounded in fact but women who are fiercely
seeking out the life the Lord has for them and it is so encouraging. However, over the past year I have slowly
come to realize that while I “know” a lot of people, my circle of close friends
is…limited. These past few months I have
been intentional about building, investing and cultivating relationships with
women who are quickly becoming my tribe.
Two
of these fabulous women are co-workers of mine!
Tamara teaches first grade next door & Sarah is our phenomenal art
teacher. {She is amazing. One of my
littles actually used the words, “organic shape” to me last week. I am a certified professional and could not
tell you what that means if my life depended on it} Sarah is also the owner of Paint the Town
Waco and the last two months Tamara & I have become pretty obsessed with
her classes! This past weekend Sarah
hosted a “Pumpkin Painting Party” to bring in the pumpkin season. There were so many women in attendance and we
had the best time laughing, painting, eating and fellowshipping. In the spirit of fall and pumpkins I have a
couple of themed snacks to share with you!
The
first is the pumpkin oranges. I
{obviously} stole this idea off of Pintrest and I am contemplating handing them
out along with candy to trick or treaters!
Coach and I love fruit so we might give it a try.

Confession. I hate the taste of pumpkin. It’s totally not my thing, so when I stumbled
across this recipe for Pumpkin dip in an old cookbook I thought I would bring
it for those who do enjoy pumpkin things.
After trying it though, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed
it!

Obviously
you could not have a painting party with no chocolate! The acorn cookies were a tad bit more labor
intensive but the taste at the end was scrumptious!
