Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding

The first day of fall. Most years I look forward to this day like no other. The crisp air, the falling leaves in a rainbow of colours, the last (and best) of the seasons harvest, the smoky scent in the breeze, the rain, big sweaters, chunky boots and soft woolen scarves.

Root Beer Float Cupcakes

I just wanted to show you that, because I think it’s funny. And cute. Sitting at a restaurant last weekend, we had little Isla in her car seat next to us, quietly sleeping for the first ten minutes after we arrived. We then realized why she was so quiet…oh Hello Kitty, what will you think
