    Weekend Recap

    Even with an extra hour, this was one of those weekends I just didn’t want to end. We had a great Halloween which started off with Jack’s school party Friday afternoon. Ben’s school didn’t have fall parties this year and instead they did a “fun with reading day” all day. Yeaaahhh. He did get to dress up as Captain America though so that’s that. I’ve been on the hunt for a fall wreath for forever. I’ve gone back and forth between making one and buying one and then didn’t do either until this weekend when I picked up this wreath from Marshalls. I lucked into it and it had been…

    Friday, Friday

    Happy Halloweve! I hope the weather cooperates here and the rain holds off for all the little trick or treaters.

    Creamy Caramel Sauce

    There’s something so fall about fresh crisp apples racked through some ooey gooey caramel sauce. Although I love the caramel in the tubs from the grocery store, when I saw this recipe from the  Pioneer Women I knew I had to make it. In all honesty, the texture of this sauce and even the taste is pretty different from the store bought kind, but it’s way fresher and only has 4 ingredients. It’s more sauce like than it is stringy caramel, but the entire batch along with 5 huge granny smith apples were devoured in no time. What You’ll Need: -1 cup packed brown sugar -1/2 cup Half & Half -4 tablespoons…

    Weekend Recap

    I really could have used one extra day between Sunday and Monday. I got more done around the house this weekend than I have in the past 6 months since we’ve moved in. No joke. The weather on Friday and Saturday was cold and dreary which meant I got to breakout my rain boots for the first time since Summer. Saturday was perfect for watching Halloween movies (thank you ABC Family) and not getting out of our pjs. I finally tackled the disaster that was my 6 year old’s bedroom and organized and cleaned every single thing in his room. I also made sure to tell/show Ben where each thing…
