Fall has arrived

So I know that fall doesn't officially begin until September 23rd, but who are we kidding? Labor Day has come and past and summer is over fools - woohoo! Bring on pumpkin everything!

Speaking of pumpkin, Tarl cannot wait for me to make my pumpkin cream cheese roll. He asked yesterday while grocery shopping if we could get the stuff for me to make it. I told him not just yet. It has to be a little bit cooler than 83 degrees outside to bake anything pumpkin, maybe 80 degrees and we'll start talking :)

It truly is delicious! Recipe coming soon...


Speaking of delicious, I saw this picture posted the other day and cannot wait to try my hand at making these. They sound scrumptious!

I have done so much decorating that it looks like Fall has thrown up in my house and I don't hate it. I love it! We have pumpkins and scarecrows and leaves and the smell of  "Autumn in the Park" permeating throughout our house.

Speaking of Autumn in the park, I cannot believe that this time next week I will be packing for my girls trip to New York City. Autumn in one of the worlds most amazing parks, count me in!

Seriously though, I am ecstatic I can barely contain myself. This weekend I sat around and watched old episodes of Sex and the City and any movie based out of New York just to catch glimpses and gets ideas of things to do.

With that being said, I will be out of town and was wondering if any one would be interested in doing a guest post while I'm in the big apple. If so, please email me, I'd love to collaborate.
