Hello Friends,

I hope you had a nice weekend! We went to the Cider mill and picked out our pumpkins. Cider mills are huge here in Michigan. Yesterday we even carved out some faces. It’s so cute to see the designs our kids draw and carve out. Now just to see if they withstand the warm weather until Halloween comes.

Speaking of pumpkins, I posted a new pumpkin- ground beef dog food recipe, it’s called MUTT-ster Mash. It was a hit with our dogs.

There’s also a new whipped coffee and Irish cream drink inspired by mom. She was my official taste tester.

If you didn’t get a chance, the Christmas 2021 Planner is available now. It takes a minute to download because I wanted something super colorful and cheery, so it includes lots of artwork.

I am going to be starting my Christmas shopping next week. It’s much earlier then I usually start, but it seems like it might be a good idea to pick up any of those special gift ideas, especially for little kids. Things might be unpredictable and there is something incredibly comforting in being prepared!

Talk with you soon,

Chanele
