I feel like a lot of people are in that “winter is coming…” mode. By that I mean, we are all sitting around just waiting for Game of Thrones to return, am I right?! Well, half of us maybe. Seriously, I’ve been slogging through the novels since last CHRISTMAS. I’m not even joking. Obviously, I […]
Because I was too lazy (and it was too dark at that point) last night to break out my DSLR and take real photos, and I have very limited time today between dropping my preschooler off and picking her up, I present to you a summary of every food blogger’s first “Fall/Autumn” post that involves

Today is November 1st. In this house, that can mean only one thing besides the fact that it’s perfect weather for cuddling on the couch after a long night of ghoul dodging. Christmas is almost here!
