November

Life is wonderful.

And - It's a new month!
I pretty excited about that.
I'm ready to blog more and take more pictures! You ready?
I'm doing good so far since it's November 1st and I took some pictures & blogged.
Also this month, I'm making a goal to 1. take a picture every single day this month. No cheating involved. And 2. Miss no days of my everyday early morning (6:00am) church classes. Wish me luck!
Let's get to the good stuff. Here are the pictures I took... of me. :)

Smiley/happy
Serious face
What the heck?
So I have to explain about the last picture. I had the camera on self timer and all of a sudden I heard a bee really close to me. I though it might be on me so I didn't move. And for some reason I covered my ear..? And I happened to look right at the camera. Look at my expression! There's your laugh for you today.

The best pumpkin cookies you will EVER eat!

During the fall I just love to bake. There is just something I love about turning my oven on and getting the mixer out on a cold, cloudy day. My favorite cookie to make during the fall season is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. But I have a special recipe that I just love.

These may look like any normal pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. But I promise you, they're not. Whether you like it or not these cookies disappear fast. You learn to hide a few for yourself!

The best Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies you will ever eat:

3 sticks butter

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 t vanilla

16 oz can pumpkin

4 cups flour

2 t baking soda

1/2 t baking power

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t salt

2 t cinnamon

2 cups oatmeal

2 cups chocolate chips

Mix butter & sugars. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl & add them to the wet. Add the oatmeal & chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

These are my favorite fall cookies. I hope they'll become your favorites too!

Fall is here!

Hello there!

I'm excited as today is the official first day of fall. Are you ready? I know I am! It sure feels like fall to me today since it looks like it's about to rain. Today I though I'd share some "fall-ish" dresses I'm loving. I just wish they weren't quite so expensive. :) They are beautiful though!
