Trader Joe’s Fall Bucket List- Top 45 Items
I had to do it. Just couldn't let the Fall Season pass without sharing all of my Trader Joe's Favorites. I asked all of you what your Fall Favorites were from Trader Joe's too! I got so much feedback! Over 500 responses. I complied a lit of the most suggested items. Ended up being 45 Fall Favorites. Trader Joe's only sells these items in the Fall and typically gets these items middle of September and it is fully stocked with all things pumpkin by the end of September. I picked up a few new things that I hadn't ever bought at Trader Joe's before. Like some yummy smelling candles, the pumpkin ... Read More
Appetizer- Four Different ways- Sweet Stuffed Peppers
Remember when I shared the stuffed sweet peppers that my friend, Sarah, brought for an appetizer? I since have taken it to many parties and it is ALWAYS the first appetizer to go! Everyone, even kids love it. I have made it four different ways and thought I would share the options with you. Especially with Halloween coming up and you might need a quick, healthy appetizer to share. Trust me. It will be a favorite for you and guests. I consider this a healthy recipe even though it has cheese and the inside is a dip. The vehicle is a vegetable (sweet peppers) so it eliminates the ... Read More
Pumpkin Smoothie and Pumpkin Spice Granola
Smoothies are the best. When I am in a hurry or I am craving dessert for breakfast I opt for a smoothie instead. I think about 5 years ago I made a pumpkin smoothie and loved it then forgot about it. Decided to test it out again, nothing like ringing in September with a little pumpkin recipe. I actually use pumpkin all year round. Also tested this recipe to see if Finn (my two year old) would like it, he is a smoothie monster. Results were successful! Even added a Pumpkin Spice Granola to the top. Yummy to snack on it's own too! Sharing this pumpkin recipe with Ella Claire Inspired for her ... Read More

Fall Day Apple Picking with Gilt Clothing
We like to dedicate at least one night a week for family time. It is a night that we can play and really connect. Focus on what is important. Family. We have enjoyed going pickin' ever since we moved to Connecticut. We went blueberry picking twice in the summer, and we basically hurried through it. We have really been looking forward to apple picking in the fall. It is basically THE perfect family fall outing in my eyes. I love the crisp air, the smell of popcorn and pumpkin donuts and anticipating what we will do with all of our delicious apples. We went apple picking the other ... Read More
Succulents, Cookies and Shopping
I shared last blog post how excited I was that my mom was in town. She flew in Friday night and just flew out today. It is always sad to see her leave. She is just such a joy to be around. She is happy doing whatever we are doing, so easy going and helpful. The girls went back to school today giving my mom and I some time to go shopping at one of our favorite spots, Shop Terrain. I brought my camera along and snapped some pictures of things that inspired me. From succulents, fall colors, bees, dishes, cutting boards, smells and food...always food. It was a perfect September day, the weather ... Read More
Fall Inspiration
My kids start school Thursday this week. Is it bad to say that I am kind of excited? I saw a picture on Facebook that went viral about the Mom cheering and doing leaps in front of her kids obligatory first day of school pictures. She was pumped. She is awesome, I get it. Don't get me wrong I love my girls so much. But it will be nice to have them learn and not feel so much pressure to make sure they read and get something out of the day! I can pass that responsibility onto someone else. I would not be good at home schooling. Anyways I digress.... Now that they have started school I have ... Read More
