This fall themed make-your-own snack mix was such a hit at our Halloween Party that I thought I'd put the recipe on here (ok, recipe seems a bit much... how to? DIY? Idea? Not sure what to call it?). We call this fall snack mix "Pumpkin Munch," but I know other people who call it "Scarecrow …

DIY pumpkin vases
A couple years ago, (ok, I just looked at the date, and it was EIGHT years ago, y'all- how have we even been blogging that long!?!) we had an excess of pumpkins, and some fun hostessing to do, and we made a whole line of pumpkin vases! I have used the "pumpkin vase" trick almost every year …
how to put together a warm beverage station
Now I know I’ve already mentioned that you need to add a Pie Bar to your lineup for Thanksgiving greatness. And I know this is another thing. And it’s Thanksgiving (not exactly the lowest maintenance holiday in the world). But guys. You NEED this. And you can put it together in advance, with …
caramel apple cider recipe
This first far-far-away-from-home holiday season has been, well, a little hard to describe, actually. It's been homesick, and quiet, and far, and tropical (which is both amazing for this summer-loving mama and also more than a bit weird since we're used to a Rocky Mountain fall), and a little more …
homemade apple butter (with a free printable label!)
It's hard to believe that it has been a whole year since I was traveling to Idaho in the fall (so gorgeous!) to visit our youngest sister and meet my niece, Adi. Northern Idaho is so beautiful in October- one of my favorite things we did while I was visiting (other than serious cuddle time with a …
faking fall in the tropics
Pinterest is pretty much killing me right now, y’all. Fall is not even my favorite season (summer all the way!), but seeing the world of boots, sweaters, crunchy leaves and pumpkin-everything from afar without the chance to experience any of it has been harder than I anticipated. So we are …
woodland pie party (with a fabulous pie bar!)
For how much we love pie during the summer (which is a lot... because, strawberry plus rhubarb), fall seems to waken a pie monster around here that Requires Pie. And More Pie. Pair the Pie Monster with the fact that there is this magical-woodland park here in Saipan and, really, it was only a …
pumpkin dip recipe
After I shared our Apple Sampler, several of you requested the Pumpkin Dip recipe. I had a little teeny bit left over, but I decided to take one for the team and whip up another batch. My family also decided to take one for the team and eat another batch (and wanted me to pass along that you can …
a leprechaun, a rainbow and a pot of gold.
Just like Burke, Keadryn loves brainstorming and coming up with party ideas, craft projects and costumes. This year she is the genius behind the halloween costumes: rainbow, pot of gold, and the sassiest leprechaun you ever did see. We took a pretty simple no-sew route this year. Can I just tell …
