Earlier in the year I spotted this Autumn Is For Apple Pie kids book and though there are no kids in this house, it was coming home with me! I was so amused that there was a sweet little book about baking an apple pie with friends. And if you’ve been around here for a […]
This year it’s been harder than ever to not start decorating for Christmas along with everyone else. November 1st came and everyone (so it seemed) on social media was busily decking the halls and showing off their handy work. I will confess I drooled over garland perfectly draped or a beautifully lit tree! Suddenly I […]
I’ve noticed my grocery store sells acorn squash all year long now. Every time I see it, I think of this recipe. But we wait until Autumn, when the days are shorter, the air is brisk, and the trees have given way to the season to take one home and bake up this sweet delicious […]
Welcome, friends, to the Fall Coffee Bar 2019! You might notice a few changes around here and a few added features, which I’ve been itching to show you! I was just waiting for the right time and now is as good as any! I’ll also be showing you a little more of this space than […]
Hey friends! I can’t believe that we are over mid-way through October? Time always boggles my mind. The days have become much cooler this week, which I think most of us are enjoying, and now we play the game of when to keep our heat on full time! I even got a freeze warning on […]

When we put in the offer on our home a year ago this week, the anticipation of our first Autumn in our new home was pretty great. I couldn’t wait to get out my little orange bin full of decor and kick back with a warm cup of cider in an owl mug. Finding an […]
A few days ago, I got to be part of something pretty darn exciting. Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma invited myself, and other bloggers, to an exclusive Thanksgiving dinner event! We were treated to amazing food, wine, and drooled over beautiful Thanksgiving tablescapes. I couldn’t get enough (food and eye candy from the decor. Oh […]
Today I’m thankful for getting up early and taking a friend with us to The Apple House, which was a much needed pit stop on our way to ride the golden lined road of Skyline Drive, here in Virginia (post coming soon!). Thankful for fresh doughnuts from the Apple House! Way too yummy…Extra yummy if […]
