I don’t ever remember a time when I didn’t look forward to October. Even as a little girl, I anticipated the season of the leaves falling and blanketing the grass, counting down the days till my birthday, and of course that one night me and my friends would dress up in handmade costumes (right out of our own closets) and spend hours out in the neighborhood collecting candy and memories.
As an adult, it’s no different. I still live for the days the air turns crisp, the colors begin to change, and for the pumpkins to make their home on our front porch. I even dress up with the kids!

Though this month has been super busy, I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen creating new recipes for you all, however, it’s been the most special by far. My sweet son said, “I DO,” to his precious bride, we adopted a new family member, and I will be celebrating my 45th birthday. Even typing it out it seems so surreal.


This month has been a beautiful reminder that even in the midst of a pandemic, and the uncertainties of the unknown, there is still something lovely woven into the chaos.

Tell me something lovely going on in your world right now.
