Dreamboat
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you My KitchenAid Stand Mixer: (The folks at KitchenAid have no idea I exist, and I’m not getting paid or perked in any way. I’m just seriously in love with my mixer, and my amazing husband who gave it to me. This is a total gush post.) Remember…

When the holidays are over
You put away the decorations. Take down the lights. Pack up the tree shaped cookie cutters, and tuck away the red sprinkles. It’s kind of sad. More than kind of.

Apple Pressing Party!
Apple pressing is a fall activity that has sneakily become a tradition. I say sneakily, because it wasn’t something we planned to do every fall, but it’s so much fun that we’ve done it for the last three years. Picking the apples, running them through the presser, and then making the juice into cider makes…
