We started out Christmas day by checking to see if Santa stopped by to eat his milk and cookies (of course he did, he would not forget those delicious red velvet cookies sitting on the coffee table(; ). 

Waking up early to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while sipping some hot coffee with the sleepy animals has become a tradition and this year we got to experience it with our baby for the first time.!

Cheers to Autumn Baking and Cooking. Tea from the kettle staying warm in a gorgeous teapot to sip on while we fill the air with the indulgent aromas of the season. Not only have I now made applesauce, juice and turnovers from scratch this season but my mom and I also made homemade apple butter.! A lot of apples this year. Trying to find my signature Autumn flavor because, yes I know...what?!, pumpkin is just not it. Though, I did just try those pumpkin spice truffles and those were very subtle and delicious. I try every year to force myself into liking pumpkin and it hasn't worked yet. I am thinking apple and maple are my go too. 

💚 Cosmo. 🩷 Wanda. 💜 Poof. 

Get your favorites together. 

Daddy had a Friday off which called for a trip to IHop for breakfast where baby tried pancake for the first time! Only a couple tiny nibbles but we will get there.
