Chewy Caramel Apples

Waiting for these freshly dipped apples to cool before giving them a drizzle of dark chocolate. I can't think of a better football-watching treat!

Multi-Pics

I've been having so much fun with my new diptic app. It's a great way to create little collages with your iPhone photos and add different colors/effects. I'm going to use it to capture an outfit (think shoes, hair, accessories). Do you have a fav photo app?

Rest in peace to one of the most influential minds of our lifetime.

This weekend was the first one that really felt like fall, which led to a trip to a local orchard for apple picking and the first Starbucks pumpkin misto of the season. I love everything about fall: changing leaves, football, layering clothes, tall boots, Halloween, heartier meals, and crisp temperatures. It means the holidays are coming, which always gets me excited! What are your favorite things to do in the fall?

Apple Orchard Adventures

Today marked our third annual apple-picking trip to Barden's Family Orchard in northern Rhode Island. It was a perfect fall day, and early enough in the season that it wasn't too crowded. We picked a peck of apples and a white pumpkin, and shared homemade cider doughnuts. I love our little traditions like these-they're so much fun to look forward to!
