Apples, caramel, pumpkin, white chocolate, yummy soup, cranberries... all things Fall, dancing in my head! The Fall season, is my favorite time of the year. But their is a problem: Fall doesn't exist here where we live, we only get Winter and Summer. My solution: I try to fill our home with all things Fall around this time of the year, since nature doesn't provide its beautiful reds, browns and golden leaves in our neck of the woods. Over the summer, my husband made a big batch of Orange ... continue reading...

Simple Birthday Celebrations and Traditions
I like "Big Parties" and I can not lie! I realize that some kids are introverted, and the thought of being the center of attention, and having lots of kids around them is not in any shape or form considered fun.
