Fall is in full swing over here and the colors are absolutely beautiful.

Our house has the most incredible views of the seasons changing.  It might be because it’s our first year here and I’m super biased, but it seems like the seasons have been super vibrant in this house.  It totally helps that there are windows everywhere! I feel like I have a front row seat to the fall and I couldn’t be happier.

In other news, I’ve been slightly under the weather for the past week.  It was one of those annoying sicknesses where I’ve been sluggish but still somewhat functional.  I’ve been sick enough where I want to sleep all day, yet well enough where I just keep pushing along.  I think it’s coming to an end so I’m looking forward to getting my energy back!  This morning I even worked on a new drink recipe for my Thanksgiving drink series.  I can’t wait to share it here.

I guess I’ll just keep it short and sweet today.  I hope you’re having a great day wherever you are!

Here’s what I found at the ReStore!

How neat is this shoe cookie jar?

Another basket!

I couldn’t pass up this Bundt pan…even though I’ve never made a Bundt cake!  Now’s the time to learn!

Hey, Besties!

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, there's nothing like a cozy drink to warm your soul. Welcome to the first installment of my Fall Drink Recipe Series! Today, I'm sharing a Caramel Apple Punch recipe that's as easy as delicious.

The Inspiration: A Fall Flavor Adventure

When I first thought of doing a fall-inspired drink series, my mind raced with possibilities. But let's be real—I'm no chef. So, I turned to Pinterest and started tweaking existing recipes. The result? A confidence-boosting, crowd-pleasing punch!

The Star of the Show: Caramel Apple Punch

I still can't believe how well this turned out. Imagine sipping on a caramel apple but in liquid form. That's precisely what this punch delivers!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Apple Cider
• 2 cups Vanilla Cream Soda
• 1 cup Cranberry Juice Cocktail
• 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher.
2. Mix well and chill before serving.

Optional: Add fresh-cut apples and cranberries for an extra burst of flavor.

Why You'll Love This Punch

• Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare it in advance and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
• Crowd-Pleaser: Easily adjust the quantities to suit any gathering size.

Whether hosting a fall gathering or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this Caramel Apple Punch will surely hit the spot. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!

Hey, Besties! Happy Halloween!

Costume or Not, Here I Come!

So, guess what? I got Halloween night off work—talk about a last-minute treat! Looks like my festive Halloween tee is doubling as my costume this year. Hey, it's the spirit that counts, right?

Treat Bags on the Fly

James and I went into full-on treat bag assembly mode when we found out I'd be home. It's our first Halloween in the new place, so we're unsure how many little ghouls and goblins will appear. But let's be real—I'm secretly hoping to snag a bag or two of candy for myself!

A Punch Bowl's Second Act

P.S. Our "candy bowl" is actually a punch bowl I scored at the ReStore last week. Talk about repurposing!

Sending you all the creative vibes! 🌙✨ I

Happy Haunting! 🖤
