It’s my favorite time of year.  The mornings and evenings are cooling off; perfect for family walks, the house is trimmed with festive fall colors, and the kitchen is filled with the smell of spiced-baked goods.  While the leaves aren’t changing here in Arizona we anticipate the start of Fall when the shelves turn to pumpkin everything!  This year I experimented with making mini muffins with Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® Perfectly Pumpkin Premium Cake Mix.  And just for fun, and a little extra flavor, I dressed them up to look like acorns.

I love doctoring up boxed mixes to make delicious baked goods, it’s an easy and fun way to get creative in the kitchen.  With a slight alteration of the ingredients the possibilities are endless.  And, this year Pillsbury™ is helping me celebrate the season with delicious flavors like pumpkin spice and caramel apple.

Note, these muffins taste fantastic on their own, but turning them into little acorns just makes it more fun to eat!

  • Finished a sewing project this week, and I couldn’t be more excited. #ad

I’ve been wanting to make a drawstring play mat for each of the boys for while now. I’ve seen the oversized ones advertised, but had something more manageable in mind for their individual LEGO projects. Not something to store ALL the LEGOs. No more midnight LEGO fire walk for me! This simple project can be completed in under 2 hours with the help of the Cricut Maker rotary blade. And how cute is this coordinating Cricut fabric?!?! Scroll through to see this toy storage in action, the.

  • All ready to cheer on my little soccer man this weekend. First game day of the spring season. I just love being able to make custom shirts with my @officialcricut for any occasion or everyday. Hop on over to see the design I made for the littlest soccer fans too! #cricutmade #ad #ironon #customshirt #craft #crafts #irononvinyl #soccer #soccerfan
  • Peeking through the cracks as my oldest practices for his talent show audition. I couldn’t be more proud! He’s been a performer since the day he could walk. He’s stubborn and it’s hard sometimes to get him to reason. Once he opens his mind and heart to the sage advice mom and dad have he was on board. He’d been working on Ukulele all school year with dad, they’ve practiced this song, and he knows it pretty well off book. But he really wanted to audition a Michael Jackson song and dance- in under 2 weeks. 😬 It’s not that we don’t think he couldn’t pull it off (next year), but we’re working on seeing things through to the end and making choices that are based in reason and passion. Any one else have a little one that is a jack of all trades? #talentshow #disney #moana #ukelele #lava #someonetolava #learning #practice
  • Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, are you ready? This year we went homemade box and store bought cards. In past years we’ve always done simple printable cards with a little bit of added fun. Usually small toys I picked up for pennies each. Need a last minute printable valentine? Visit the link in my profile for tons of Valentine’s Day ideas. #valentinesday #printable #homemade #card #valentines #valentinecard #cute #kids #fun #schoolvalentines #school #freeprintable
  • Spent yesterday morning at the @thefarmarizona at a lovely brunch hosted by @kodiakcakes. 🥞 First visit to The Farm and I can’t wait to return to try one of their 3 on property restaurants. 
Brunch was delicious, and we got to try out some of the Kodiak Cake products. Our family has only done the original flapjacks and can’t wait to test out the Chocolate Chip. Have you tried Kodiak Cakes before? They’re packed with whole grains and protein, and oh so yummy!

  • Soccer season starts up again on Monday. So I crafted up some fun shirts for the crew cheering from the sidelines. I love that with my @officialcricut Maker and and EasyPress I can quickly make up t-shirts for any occasion. It’s a blessing and a curse, because now the kids want shirts for everything! Interested in learning how to get started creating with Cricut iron-on materials and tools? Hop over to the blog. #cricut #ad #cricutmaker #cricutmade #ironon #irononvinyl #customshirts #easypress
  • This is too good not to share. He went to bed a 6 year old last night, woke up 100! If you were here this morning he would’ve waved his cane at you (which he made) and yelled, “Get off my lawn!”. 😂 #100thdayofschool #100daysofschool #100 #costume #school #kindergarten #toocute #hilarious #oldman #cutiepatootie #suspenders #bowtie #grandpa #100yearsold #makeup #stagemakeup
