We made caramel apples last year and they were disastrous.  But I'm really glad I didn't remember that until after we made these! I didn't follow a recipe instead I used this post for ideas and semi-followed the directions on the bag of caramels. A few things: Cold apples probably would...

There was one terrible tantrum on Monday that left me calling my mom for help and a grocery trip gone wrong, but other than that, this past week had a pretty good flow. L had a dental check-up. Her teeth kill me. It seems that no matter how much brushing and flossing we do or how much...

    42/52 -  Apple heaven. We made it to our favorite orchard while in New York and L was pretty much amazed the whole time. 43/52 - We did some early Trick-or-Treating at a local event. She was really shy but I think she was ended up happy! I'm doing this series - a portrait of...

  This is usually when I'd post something new for the weekly series. But, this Friday night got a little bit crazy.  So instead, I'm going with this. And hopefully I'll get the regular weekly post up on Monday. - Why are groceries so expensive? - And it's really no fun when someone...

Today was picture day at L's preschool! I had my head wrapped around too many things and that left me figuring out what she was going to wear around eight last night, right before bedtime. We settled on this fun, party dress. She felt fancy and I thought the neutral colors would work with anything. While...

  We've been home for a few days, just doing the settling in dance. I've been shuttling my girl to playdates and school, running errands and catching up with friends. And doing the usual shopping/laundry/cleaning/cooking thing. New York was amazing. I left an even bigger piece of...

  1 // 2 We're hitting the road today for the streets of New York. It was an idea we tossed around and then decided on last minute. Pushing back our trip has made it even sweeter though and we're all pretty excited around here. I can't wait to see the leaves turn colors, spend a day at our...

Something I do love about where we live is that we're just a short car ride away from Savannah, Georgia. I grew up visiting the charming downtown area and I've always had a love affair with River Street. And it's pretty awesome to pass on my childhood love for this candy store to L. After...

  October is a favorite around here. For me, at least. I'm not sure that my little family attaches as much nostalgia to the season as I do. But Fall is my favorite. It's my jam. Maybe it's the school supplies or the Halloween decorations or the idea of getting to indulge in turkey again,...

It's been a slow, resettling week. Unpacking suitcases. Clearing out surfaces covered in messes. Loading the dishwasher, unloading the dishwasher. Preschool runs. Ballet class. Many trips to Target. Slowly, and most randomly, L will tell me about her days at school. Sometimes I feel too...

39/52 - We took a road trip to North Carolina and the car ride was less than stellar. In true form, I hear she gets it from me, L isn't a big fan of long car rides. We keep the car stocked with snacks, movies, her leap pad (loaded with new shows and games) and we give her iPhone privileges. That...

We're back around here! We should have been hitting the pavement in New York this week, enjoying the Fall weather and our family but with the government shutdown, M had to return to work. That said, I am incredibly grateful that he is considered essential personnel so whenever we do get paid, it will...
