Apple Crisp.

In honor of the fall weather I decide to make an apple crisp. yum.

The recipe is from my favorite cook book.

This cook book offers seasonal recipes to eat clean

(unprocessed/less processed) foods.

So here is a little photo montage of this delicious apple crisp.  Because, really, what screams fall more than a warm apple crisp?!

The above ingredients:

Apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, canola oil, oatmeal (rolled oats with flax seed), maple syrup, and flour.

The final product. I promise you it was de-lic-ous.

And here is how I cooked the meal.  With Madaelyn in her Moby Wrap.

{Where she ended up falling asleep}

Added bonus, the house smelled soooooooooo good.

What is your favorite fall treat?

4 months old.

      

When did my child get to be so big??  Weren’t you just in my stomach? Weren’t you just 7lbs 4oz?? Today you are 4 months old. {what?!?!.}  Time has flown by and I cannot believe that it is now November.

          

This past month has proven to be full of many changes for you.  You have become very interactive.  You love sitting up and now hate being on your stomach.

{I cannot blame you lying on your stomach provides a limited view}

You also love your “big girl” stroller.

 

You have become very verbal.  You can make vowel sounds as well as “buh” sounds.  You had your first laugh {at me sneezing} which has not occurred again.

You are recognizing people and do not like when I am out of your eyesight.  You smile with your whole face when you smile.

You love your soft pink blanket, luvvy, and pink doggie

{as well as your real dog and cat who you love to watch run around}

I’m so proud of all of your accomplishments and cannot wait to see what the fifth month of your life will bring us.

xoxoxo

Fall Favorites

it is finally starting to feel like fall! we have had quite an Indian summer and I am ready for it to cool off!

My favorite things about fall are…

No. 1.

a hot cup of hazelnut coffee or green tea.

yum.

(especially when in enjoyed in the good company of a friend)

No 2.

dressing this little miss thing

in the cutest outfits and not worrying of she (or I) will melt. And putting adorable little fleece jackets (no pics yet of this) and this cute hat on her. love. love. love.

 

No. 3.

going to my Dad’s (he coaches some little ones 5th and 6th graders) football games.  It has been a very enjoyable experience, especially since the games have been played during beautiful weather.

No. 4.

I am looking forward to Halloween this year.  I cannot wait to share with you the costume that I have picked out for Madaelyn!  Halloween has taken on a new meaning of fun for me!

Almost Fall

It's September! 

I am so excited for it to cool down a little, and hopefully slow down with this rain! It will be nice to be able to take Madaelyn out in the day time without worrying she or I will melt. And to not have to schedule our walks around non-peak sun and heat times.

Many people have favorite season's, but I love the change of season.  I am excited to get to wear long sleeve shirts and scarves in the fall.  There is also nothing better than a nice warm cup of coffee/tea on a brisk fall morning! 

On the same note I cannot believe that it is September.  

Time, where did you go?

{please. slow. down.}

 

Madaelyn will be 2 months old on Thursday.
