Pumpkin patch....

Blake and I headed up to Green Bluff this weekend. It was the perfect day, and the pumpkin patch is my favorite activity to do in the fall!! I totally spaced on bringing my camera so today you're getting lovely iPhone photo's, but we loved being up there so much we're going again next weekend! Sipping on fresh apple cider, picking apples and of course, pumpkins, fall flavors, and warm snuggles make the perfect fall day.... 

Just because I love seeing him do a little manual labor ;) 

And me with the hundreds of rows of pumpkins...

Must get the classic pictures my friends! 

Pumpkin doughnuts.... need I say more? YUM. 

Perfect day.... 

This is why I'm bringing my camera next time so we can take more of these!!

Fall To-Do List

I've said it hundreds plenty of times that fall is my fav. Well, lets be real, I love it until it starts raining ;) Anywhooo, because I'm in a new town, I thought I'd make a To-Do list of all the things I must accomplish this fall! I'm checking off one tomorrow by going to the Pumpkin Patch! Maybe once I'm done doing I'll them I'll show you gals all the pictures! Enjoy!! 

1. Go to a High School football game 

I'm now an alumni of here (weird) and football games during the fall were always my favoriteeeee. Oh yes. That many 'e's'. I was a cheerleader and I lived for these games! 

2. Go to a pumpkin patch

Do I have to explain? This is my favorite. thing. to. do. ever! 

3. Make caramel apples

I've actually only made caramel apples once... sad! Blake and I are going to go apple picking and hopefully make some of these babies! 

4. Go to an apple orchard 

Because we need apples to do the above... I've always wanted to go to one, and being from Washington it's embarrassing saying I haven't been to one since I was six. 

5. Outdoor photoshoot 

This is the cutest thing ever... I definitely want cute pictures like this done! 

6. Celebrate Halloween

Blake and I have never celebrated a holiday together besides Thanksgiving, so I'm excited for all the fun things we get to do now!! 

7. Carve pumpkins 

I can't wait to do this with Blake!! Another fun little thing for us to do :)

8. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

Do I really even have to say why?! Yeah okay.

Sooo, what are some of your fall 'to-do's'? Tell me! 

Happy Friday!!!!!! XO 

Fire-y

Red is just the best color. Seriously... I love the brightness of it, and how it's a 'fall' color. And please excuse the mess.... it was a long day yesterday and I just didn't want to pick my books up off the floor ;)

Anywhoooo, about this mirror I'm currently using... it's an over the door mirror because I can't find a huge full length mirror I love at a reasonable price. The sad thing is that there isn't a Home Goods here, so I don't even know where to look!! Any suggestions?! 

Happy Thursday!! 

PS. Dolls, you have to go over to The Jackson's blog and enter her giveaway!! There are some amazing products that I'm dying to have!!! 

Anniversary options

Alright y'all.... so there's a big day coming up for Blake and myself! It's our two year anniversary on November 1st. It's extra important because we've never actually gotten to celebrate an anniversary (or a birthday for that matter) together so we're already planning a whole weekend of fun! When we plan these kind of things, I always run out to buy a new outfit... but with everything we've planned, I can't budget to buy 5 (ish..) new outfits! So I figured I'd buy a few key pieces and expand from there. Now I'm sharing those with you guys!!

Fall Lust

I know I said it yesterday, but I really can't believe its already October! In my hometown it's usually already cooled down to mid 60's (perfect fall weather) but here we're still in the mid 80's! I can't even believe it! So with this, I'm just stuck looking at all the pretties... here's some more favorites of mine! 

Need this.... buy here from Asos. 

So dang cute! Buy here. 

These are so fab! I love the camo trend and these are no exception. Buy here. 

I love the color of these! Perfect for fall. Buy here. 

Can you believe these babies are from Target!? I will be for sure getting these.... Buy here.

These are blogger-famous shoes, and they should be! They're the perfect height if you're like me and are over 5'8. My two-year anniversary is coming up and I think these are perfect for our night out! Buy here. 

I'll be back tomorrow with a fun little post! ;) 

What are your favorite fall trends?! XO 

I'm baaaack! And a yummy recipe!

Hi y'all! I cannot believe it's already October. That's so crazy!! It's been such a long time since I've posted, my life has been crazy with the move but I think I'm settled in enough to get back to my regular postings! I've been here for two weeks now, I started taking classes last Monday, I'm looking for a job and just finding my way around! I love it here... it's so beautiful and I'm totally comfortable already, which isn't something that I expected to happen so fast. Blake has been the biggest help with the move, he's the best... I love him! Anywhoooo, here's just a look into what I've been up to lately. I'm also sharing a recipe for some yummy pumpkin bread I made a few days ago.... Enjoy!

I'm not sure you can classify it being fall here yet with the high 80 days... but that doesn't mean I won't wear my big sweaters and make caramel apple cider!

He's the sweetest... I'm home more often than he is and he always cooks! I'm spoiled :)

And now for the recipe!! Yummy pumpkin bread with pumpkin buttercream and salted caramel drizzle!

 

I changed the recipe a little  bit from the one I originally found on pinterest, because we liked to eat it for breakfast... I warmed it up for a minute in the morning so the icing would melt down a little bit!

 

For the Bread

1 3/4 C whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

1/8 tsp cloves

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

3/4 C brown sugar

1/4 C granulated sugar substitute

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 C low-fat plain yogurt

2 tbsp soft butter or margarine

1 1/4 C pumpkin puree

For the Frosting

1/4 C butter, softened

2 tbsp pumpkin puree

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 C confectioner’s sugar, sifted

2 tsp milk

For the Caramel Drizzle

3 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp water

1 tbsp butter

1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven 325. Grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan.
2. Whisk together flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until well-combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, beat eggs until creamy. Beat in brown sugar and sugar substitute on medium speed for one minute. Add in vanilla, yogurt and oil. Beat until well-combined. Add flour mixture and pumpkin, beat until just combined. Scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
4. Spread batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing it to cool completely on a wire rack.
5. While bread is cooling, begin preparing the frosting. Cream together butter and pumpkin puree. Add in cinnamon and vanilla and beat until creamy. Slowly add confectioner’s sugar and milk. Beat until well-combined and creamy. Spread frosting over the top of the cooled bread.
6. In a small saucepan, stir together brown sugar and water. Dissolve sugar over medium-high heat. Continue heating until caramel turns dark brown and starts to boil, making sure to stir constantly to avoid burning. Add butter and salt. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes to cool the caramel somewhat before drizzling over the top of the frosting.
7. Eat immediately and if you're like me, save the leftovers for breakfast! I think this would be a perfect addition to a brunch!
