All The Autumnal Activities…

Happy First (Official) Day of Fall, everyone!

Fall Foodie: No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Dip

‘Tis the season for all of the Fall baking – or in the case of today’s recipe I’m sharing – no baking at all!

OOTD: Cider Days Shawl

It’s been hard to plan consistent outfits over the past week or so, since temperatures have varied between “warmer than expected” to “much colder than anticipated” – often over the course of just a couple of hours – which means I’m usually grabbing heavier jackets or sweaters to wear over long dresses when I’m at […]

My Fall Skincare/Hair Care Routine!

It’s shaping up to be a a very busy week ahead, following what was already a very, very busy weekend (which I’ll talk about in a couple of days since I still have a lot of photos to go through!) The election is Tuesday, as is Troy’s birthday – and he’s in town to try […]
