This post brought to you by P.F. Chang’s. All opinions are 100% mine. I love the flavors of Fall. Not only does the Fall season supply us with delicious ingredients like apples and pumpkins and other winter squash, but the cooler temperatures make baking near a hot oven and cooking comforting soups and stews an…
Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles
This Halloween-themed post and Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles recipe is brought to you by Hershey’s but all thoughts and recipe creation are my own work. Earlier in the season, I was seeing a bunch of pumpkin snickerdoodles around and was dying to try a batch. I tried. And the pumpkin snickerdoodles were NOT a hit….
Easy No-Sew Pumpkin Craft – DIY Fall Decor
I’ve always got my eyes open for crafts that are easy enough for the kids to do. I saw a picture of these adorable toilet paper roll pumpkins somewhere in passing and figured that they were a craft that anyone in the family (anyone, period!) could handle. Since I only had a random picture…
Halloween Class Parties 2012 – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ll admit – as much as I love candy (I really do. It’s bad) I’ve never really gotten the hype over Halloween. I’ve never been one to go all out with costumes (most years I just let my kids pick something from the stash of costumes I keep in the attic), although last year I…
Happy Halloween 2012!
A few days ago I wasn’t sure if my kids would be celebrating Halloween at all this year, with the threat of Hurricane Sandy looming over us. Luckily, trick or treating is still on, new costumes have been picked out, and bowls of candy are waiting to be distributed to the neighborhood kids. It’s the…
Reaching – Wordless Wednesday
As soon as I caught this shot at a photo shoot this past weekend, I knew it would be an all-time favorite. The way this little girl is reaching for her daddy’s hand is just precious to me. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over. Are you playing along with…
Waiting…for #Sandy
It’s raining this morning. A hurricane is coming. But we still have power. When I went to bed last night (on a blow up mattress in the basement, surrounded by kids), I fully expected to find the power out when I woke up. I also expected to sleep in this morning, since school is canceled…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls With Cream Cheese Frosting
I was in the mood to bake something with pumpkin on Monday, and when I found a recipe for pumpkin pull apart bread, I knew I had to try them out as pumpkin cinnamon rolls. They were better than I ever could have imagined and were a knock-out hit with my whole family. My husband…
Autumn – Every Leaf a Flower – Wordless Wednesday
I loved this Autumn quote. It was perfect for these shots that I caught on my phone this week: Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus * Photos taken on my HTC One S during this morning’s walk. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all…
Signs of Fall – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ve been so tired lately. Maybe it could have something to do with the amazingly beautiful weather and cool breeze relaxing me. OK, maybe not. I’ve just been tired. Today on my morning walk, I was struck by the sights and smells of Fall. I could have spent the entire day outside, enjoying the scent…
