Well, hello National Pumpkin Day! A few pumpkin favorites…

I had no idea that today is National Pumpkin Day. Yesterday, while shopping at Barnes & Noble (or as Maxim calls it...Barnes & Nobo), I received this coupon, making me aware of this great day... WELL. Since it's National Pumpkin Day, I felt it was necessary to highlight some of my favorite pumpkin things. Weekend Recap ...

I’ll take three cups of coffee for $300 Alex (I’m tired, but I share about Bloomsbury Farm and football)

I feel like I should sign up for the game show "Jeopardy" right now. Yes, Alex. I'll take three. No wait. Let's make that six. Yes. Six cups of coffee for $300. Clearly, I'm not thinking clearly and three cups of coffee have not helped my exhaustion. Maybe I'll try four when this cup is gone. I ...

Fun Friday Favorites: It’s October…bring on plaid and cardigans

Yippeeeee!!! It's October! Fall leaves, sweatshirt weather, pumpkins and gourds...October, we welcome you. I am so excited for fall! I've decorated with a little bit of my fall decor, but today, the boys and I plan to get the rest of our fall stuff out and spice up the house. It's all about pumpkins and leaves and burlap and ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Fashion, fun fall foods, and trunk-or-treating

Wow.  I can't believe it is October 31.  Like bats on a crisp Halloween night, time is flying.  (That sounded so poetic, didn't it?)  We've had a fun week of festivities and today, we will continue to party on. I'm so excited to visit the boys' classrooms today and watch the school-wide costume parade, along with ...

When Halloween costumes go bad…there’s good news

Our weekend was full of pre-Halloween celebrations.  Grandma Helen's Fall Party, carving jack-o-lanterns, roasting pumpkin seeds, going to the Schares' Pumpkin Carving Party, touring the Haunted Trail in the darkest of the night (or maybe it was just 7:45 p.m.), and visiting Bloomsbury Farm complete with a bin of corn, pig races, pumpkin launching, haunted ...

Weekend Recap: Fall fun, football, and Chocolate chip bars. Oh, and Christmas!

Yesterday, three of the four of us were down for the count.  Hubby was home sick, I was home sick, and Maxim...well.  That's a whole other story.  (After finding out Daddy was coming home from work and me admitting that I was sure to be out of commission for the day with the sinus and ...

Fun Friday: And then October strolled in…

I can't believe that it's October.  Nate's expression in this picture says it all.  "What?!  Where did September go??" I am agreeing with all of those Pinterest quotes about October and fall. Yes, it's time to pull out those scarves, boots, and hats.  Having soup daily is okay because it's COOLER WEATHER.  Wearing sweatshirts while out ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Fall is in the air…soaps, candles, lattes, and more

It actually feels like fall.  Cool weather, sweatshirts being worn, and pumpkin spice and everything nice everywhere you look.  I love it. Last Saturday, the boys helped me take down the Easter decorations.  (Remember, I had my Easter Egg wreath still on our door?  And the tulips and bunnies were put away, also.  I have no ...
