Summer is on the way out, Hello Fall!!!
Open For Christmas

Are you looking forward to Fall or savoring the last bits of Summer?
The kids are starting to go back to school, the mornings and evenings are becoming tolerable, dare I say even “cool”, you can tell something is in the air!
I am totally ready for pumpkin EVERYTHING! In a few short weeks we start the magical BER months! In my humble opinion, there is no better time!
What We Are Looking Forward To:
Tomorrow, August 26th Starbucks brings back the Pumpkin Spice Latte! Whether you are a fan or want to make a home version we have you covered with a delicious dupe!
Fall Vacations are my personal favorite time to travel! Several places have lower seasons in the fall when kids are back in school. Now is the time to plan your September/October trips! We just booked our trip to the North Georgia Mountains- Pumpkin Patches, Apple Cider donuts, Fall leaves, Crisp Hiking Weather, Winery Tours, Sunflower fields and more Fall Fun!
Lastly fall recipes! I love using our dutch oven this time of year for heartier meals you aren’t in the mood for when it is 1000 degrees out. You have to try the short rib recipe we have linked to impress your family and friends!
