My favorite fall activities revolve around my life up at the apple orchard. My family and I rush up there on weekends to indulge in the outdoor lifestyle: feeding crazy chickens, warming up with nighttime bonfires and picking apples. It’s idyllic, I tell you! In prime apple season, there are hundreds of fallen apples that […]
Cooler weather means heartier meals: meat and potatoes of all sorts and chunky soups with a side of warm buttered bread. When I’m looking to change up the obligatory dinner roll, I turn to my delicious Skillet Cornbread recipe with jalapenos and pecans. Ok, ok- with buttermilk, Crisco and butter…it may have to be a […]
I admit it. I’m a chocoholic. I get the cravings, go for the impulsive purchases and sometimes experience withdrawal. I’ve learned to live with it…all in small doses, right?

My toddler headed off to preschool this morning and I’m already missing her spunky cuteness around the house. She, of course, was totally fine leaving me! I’m hoping the new backpack and back-to-school dress had something to do with it… In anticipation of new friends and future playdates, I’m saving some project ideas and sharing […]
