This is my first time to link up to Emily’s blog about what I’ve learned in April.

 

(I’m still fairly new to Emily, but have been following her on Twitter, listened to her hope*writers podcast, and am enjoying her content and perspective.)

 

So here’s what the past month has taught me:

I learned how to convert a Word document to a PDF file. I feel like a techie pro.

When Bookaholic has a $3 fill-a-bag sale, you should go. And you might find treasures like these:

Our neighbors are very generous. We don’t join every school fundraiser, but threw in for Jump Rope for Heart. Almost everyone on our block supported the boys.

 

Thanks to a friend, I now know the Wichita Art Museum’s cafe, The Muse, is delightful. They have the best chocolate for their mocha lattes. However, since their espresso machine was broken, they gave us a bowl of this chocolate and real whip cream to add to a regular drip coffee. Divine.

Stone churches are tucked in so many corners of our city. And all are stunning.

Pinterest has a lovely assortment of vintage pins, including this exact set of Crazy 8’s our family had growing up.

The Boxcar Children is a movie. (Thanks to a poster spied at Alford.)

 

If you are out of gift bags, you can use a map calendar to decorate a paper sack.

My husband’s annual school carnival is delightful – as are all the hard-working teachers, staff, and parents.
