A Fall Haul Getaway

A Fall Haul Getaway

Pumpkin spice is my favorite season…

Hello, sweet friend…

I hope you are doing well…

I’ve just returned from a ~~fall haul~~ mini getaway…

Joe I were able to visit with friends…

explore a few fun restaurants…

**Heading out to Trader Joe’s with pumpkin spiced latte in hand…**

**In dressing room…trying on shirt dress…**

and…of course I was able to do some fall shopping…

**A few of my favorite pumpkin spiced items for the fall**

It’s no secret that I love all things pumpkin spice…and because Trader Joe’s my favorite all things pumpkin spice store is almost 3 hours away…this grocery trip has turned into a mini getaway tradition in which I take an autumn grocery trip to Trader Joe’s…among other favorite stops…(of course)

What’s Cooking?

Shortly after returning home from our mini getaway…and a cupboard filled with pumpkin everything…I asked my wonderful husband Joe if he would take a quick run to the local market for Granny Smith apples…I had a yearning to bake apple crisp. It turns out that I also love everything apple…it’s my one little weakness…(especially in the fall)🥰
