Giving Thanks, Day 9

Coupons!  Sales!  City Cash!

Today after work I went with my mom to New York & Co. to use some City Cash that we had.  We also got lucky and had coupons that they let us use as well!

Amazing deals were had when we mixed and matched with the sales!  As much as I didn't NEED anything, I really did want a few things, so it was wonderful to get them for 1/2 price or lower!

So.... what do you think of my new coat?!



Be thankful for retail sales! And coupons to lower the price even more!

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football.  Give me anything and everything fall!  However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating.  The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun.  The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given.   We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.

Caramel Apple Pie

While my 1st attempt at making Apple Pie was not a full failure, it was not the prettiest site, as all of the edges were burnt...completely black. I made another pie yesterday, which I covered with foil while baking, and had a great turnout!  We even started eating it before I remember to take a picture, so here it is partially eaten! I used a frozen pie crust and filled it with the apple mixture (recipe below) and then covered with a Pillsburry Rolled Pie Crust that I cut into pieces and created a lattice pie topper.  I then drizzled caramel on top while the pie was still warm so that it would soak in.  The finished project...delicious!  Even my husband (a pie snob) loved it. Apple Mixture (Recipe from Pillsbury) 6 Cups Thinly Sliced, Peeled Apples 3/4 Cup Sugar 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1/4 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice Mix All Ingredients Together and Spoon Into Pie Crust, Cove...

Bring on the Fall!

Fall is my favorite season of the year!  I live in an area where the weather gets cooler, leaves change color, cider mills open up, and corn mazes are ready for family fun. I haven't been on this blog much lately, but I have been busy trying to come up with new ways to keep my home and myself organized.  It is a continuous up and down for me as some new ideas work, and others make me fall of the wagon.... I do know that I have gotten better about completing things off of my to-do list, as long as I make my list up ahead of time, and create due dates for the larger items that need to be done. While, blogging has been temporarily moved to the back burner, you will see me here and there.  In the mean time try to check a few of these off of your to-do list this fall.... We all need a little fun in life ;)
