Bake Pumpkin Anything #FallBucketListMCD


Hi, everyone! As you saw, if you follow us on FaceBook, Instagram or Twitter, (and if you don't, please do!) you will have noticed that I enjoyed a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks on the first day they were available earlier this month! It felt like such an accomplishment to mark the first item off of my Fall Bucket List! 

In case you missed it...
Here I am! I was trying to let you see the label, me and the Starbucks sign. I think I need to work on my selfie game!

My next Fall Bucket List item to complete was thanks in part to something I found at Williams-Sonoma! 

I had stopped in their store to look around one morning and I saw this mix.  I generally like to make things from scratch, but this mix just spoke to me. And it was on SALE! AND chocolate?!?! Can you go wrong?

Elliot and I made this together one afternoon. And we could NOT. STOP. EATING. IT!

I made it into 4 smaller loaves so we could freeze a few to last a little longer. Here are a few pictures of that. I also added my own chocolate chips to the tops of them to make them pretty and add just a little extra chocolate. 



Next, we baked them and they came out so beautiful and tiny!


Doesn't that make you just want to grab a slice? We ate it warm, but it is also good a room temperature. My mom, who generally dislikes things like this, ate some too! Win! It is a good mix that has the right amount of spice. Not too overwhelming as sometimes Pumpkin Spice things can be.  If this doesn't make you feel like Fall, I don't know what will! I hope you try it! If you do, let me know what you think in the comments!

Don't forget! If you would like to join us in checking off your Fall Bucket List items, we'd love to see what you are up to!

Happy Fall!

    I love that you have a Fall Bucket List! What a great idea :) This reminds me that I need to put together some sort of pumpkin recipe on my site. Those pumpkin loafs look so delicious. Could use some with my coffee right now!

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday!  We are linking up with  Erika ,  Narci  &  Andrea  for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted!  We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud

Hey everybody!!  Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts:  Allie over at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some
