\xa0Happy Friday friends!

I hope you all had a beautiful week!

This week, on the family side of things...\xa0

It's been an outside time kinda week and I'm loving every bit of it (except the lingering mosquitos, but give it another week and the cold will deal with that).

Every day when my husband gets home we have been starting a fire in the continued effort of clearing some branches we have lingering from a tree that fell about 6 months ago.

We have also been trying to stay up on the leaves because when you have as many trees as we do, if you blink you'll look up to see your car has vanished under the ever-falling leaves.LOLJoking, it isn't that bad, but with the approximate 200 trees we have, it is pretty severe and it's best to chip at it little by little rather than let the layer of leaves get too thick because then they're hard to pick up and can attract a lot of buggies.

\xa0

Aside from that, it's been a week full of hot and heavy homeschool math lessons, meatloaf (which I just now made for the first time and have decided to add it to the menu regularly - I don't know how I'm just now getting on that bandwagon), and 7-month-old Luke crawling everywhere all at once.

\xa0

I'm loving the brisk mornings and sweater weather in my neck of the woods.

What's it like where you are?

This week, on the business side of things...\xa0

Today marked the end of the marketing accelerator I was in and it was honestly a lot of fun and very informative.

\xa0

I'm glad I did it and excited to continue using what I've learned in the years ahead.

\xa0

It's crazy to think how much I have learned in my 2+ years diving into FB ads for my small business. I'm insanely grateful for all I have been able to test and practice this skill that will feed my family for years to come and through all my business and non-profit adventures.

\xa0

I just finished tests of some new creative (meaning the images and video used in ads), as well as new messaging/concepts/language (which is an on-going thing to ensure I always have a constant flow of new ads to test).

\xa0

I find a lot of excitement as tests take place. Most often the things I thought would win, don't, and the things I wasn't crazy excited about.. do! Facebook and the psychology behind what gets clicks, and why, is so interesting and I'm enjoying being proven wrong of my predictions. It keeps things spicy!

\xa0

Anyways, here is the creative that beat everything else by a landslide in my last batch of testing. What do you think?

\xa0

It was a video shot by a friend I met 5 years ago who used to own a chapstick subscription before she sold her business. The video just seemed so cute to me right off the bat, and different from what I was previously trying, so this is one I wasn't surprised that won.

\xa0

Here it is in case you'd like to take a peek!

In gratitude,

\u200a

Our 8-year-old Emma is in something called American Heritage Girls. They have this room across the hall where the younger kids and brothers hang out. This was Luke's first time in the room with the kiddos and this sweet little lady on the left (the leader's daughter) instantly loved Luke. She was talking with him, playing with him, and rubbing his back. Our little ham was soaking it up. There's 6-year-old Emerson to the right doing what he does best.. building. Love this little group of local kiddos and the friendships my kiddos are building through it. Here's to many more memories on the horizon!\xa0

Fun Fact:\xa0This is a small mama-ran business - thank you for the opportunity to serve you - it means so much to my kiddos and I!
