Happy Halloween!

Hello!

Happy Friday!

Today I am working on cutting up and cooking up applesauce. So very many apples and I am looking for quick easy ways to use them. My crispers are full, my sink is full, and the bottom shelf of my refrigerator is full. Gotta use them up because we cant eat them that fast. 

YUM! I can't wait for all the applesauce recipes. Applesauce cake... applesauce muffins...

I love this time of year!

Have a great day!

Fun Fall Decor

Happy Fall!

Heading out today to get our big fluffy dog groomed. 

I have been battling with myself on the working issue. I currently sub at school when needed but as Winter rears its ugly head, I find that I would rather be home and making money here somehow. So I am now trying to make money with my blog. There is so much info on the web how to do this and its my new obsession. Surely if others do it, I can too. But finding the perfect balance of enjoying my little blog, but making some Grocery money in the process is the goal. In the meantime, I am enjoying Fall, taking more pictures, which I have gotten really bad at, and enjoying my girls since they seem to be growing way to fast. 

Have a wonderful fall day!

Pumpkin Carving... Phase 1...

Happy October 26!

Monster Bark

Monster Bark!

Happy October 25th!

(I have to say this....) Only Two months till Christmas!

Ha Ha...

Sorry, I had to. I am so excited, Halloween is right around the corner. Kids are getting excited for dressing up. I am super glad my 12 year old still wants to dress up and go trick or treating with her family. I don't know how long that will happen and I feel like I am holding on with both hands, legs wrapped around her, fighting to keep her from growing up too fast. I know I can't stop it, but I will slow it down. Lol. 

One of the ways that seems to work is by cooking and crafting for the Holidays as much as I can. 

Yesterday we made Monster bark. So easy and so much fun. The girls loved it. 

Here is the recipe:

Melt two bags semi sweet chocolate chips in Microwave, 

line a cookie sheet with wax paper, 

spread chocolate in thin layer on sheet, 

and sprinkle whatever fun candy you can find on the layer.

Refrigerate for a few hours, remove and break into pieces. Store in fridge for snacking later.

YUM!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Fall Apple Picking

Hello October!

Well... October 4th.

This weekend we were invited over by our neighbors for some apple picking, pumpkin picking and they also threw in some onions. It is always so much fun. I am looking forward to really enjoying and immersing myself in everything Fall!

Bring it on!

Have a wonderful Day!

October Busy

Happy Monday!

Our weekend flew by, and this week will as well.

School activities, dance class, meetings and then finally a 4 day weekend full of Birthday celebrations and hopefully some Fall hiking and picture taking. 

Have a great Monday!

Spooky Spiders and Skeletons....

HAPPY OCTOBER 2nd!

Hope yours move a little slower.

Homecoming...Friday....

Hello, Happy Friday!

Hello weekend.

It is well needed. This week has been super busy. Hubby is recovering from Chemo treatments, kids have activities and homework each day and then on top of it all, there is Homecoming week. 

My youngest doesnt feel the presure for homecoming week, but the oldest and I do. This year was much calmer. No floats in the parade, but our PTA paints faces for school spirit. And then they all enjoy the parade, so its a busy day. Now we are home, its rainy and cold. They furnace is kicking in, and the kids are snuggled up, and happy. Tomorrow is cleaning day. I am looking for a good crock pot recipe and planning my attach on the house. It is far too cluttered and I am over it. Lol.

Until then, 

Have a great weekend.

Duct Tape and Crochet Pumpkins

Time for some pumpkin love. Everyday feels more and more like Fall.

One of these pumpkins are crocheted by me... Fun. The other one is a cheap craft pumpkin taped up with a fun floral tape I picked up while traveling. 

I love them. I could have pumpkins all over the house but I am trying to limit myself. Just not enough space for my creativity to bloom.

Have a wonderful Day!

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Good Morning, I am so glad to be home. Time for some Pumpkin spice waffles. 

Have a great day!

Corner to Corner

Hello!

I am so happy to show my newly learned crochet pattern. Corner to corner. I am excited because as a do it yourself crocheter, I have always stuck to line by line crochet. But now that I learned this one, I am very happy to get back into crochet. It is much more entertaining. The possibilities are endless.

Have a wonderful day! 

~Fall Decorating~

Happy Sunday!

We have been busy busy. 

Hubs is getting treatment in Arizona so we have been traveling again. But at least we are closer to Arizona, driving distance. I am much happier. 

Not as happy as I will be when we are all done with this. 

Have a great day! I am off to do some shopping and take advantage of the big city. Hello Ikea.
