Hello October


I love you October.

You are my favorite month.

Even though the first day of Autumn is September 22, I don't put out my fall decor until October 1st because here in California it is still really hot & doesn't feel like fall.


As of yesterday, here are some things you will find around my house
(You can tell that I went to Target yesterday.....)

Our front door step with my mums:
Pumpkins:Pumpkin sign:Our front door:Dining room table with fall accents on it:The fall gourds:Pumpkin Candy jar on my kitchen counter:
(that is not normal candy corn, it is THIS)
My favorite fall smell, Yankee Pumpkin Candle:
This is what I had for dessert (It is the best with a warm brownie)



When Kate woke up all the pumpkins on the front porch, she wanted to wear her pumpkin hat. So, we drew & colored pumpkins:
For the past few years, everyone has been talking about how awesome the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks is. So, I decided to finally try it.

The verdict?
GROSS.GROSS.GROSS.
So nasty. I took 3 sips & couldn't drink anymore of it. I threw it away.
I want my $3 back. Seriously disappointed.
Why do people rave about this drink? It is nasty!!!
Coffee & Pumpkin flavor do not mix, at all.
I will be sticking to my usual, a nonfat vanilla latte, thank you very much.

I LOVE all things pumpkin EXCEPT pumpkin pie and the pumpkin spice latte.

One VERY important fall item is missing from my cupboards. Canned pumpkin. I can't find it ANYWHERE!!!! I have been to 5 stores this week trying to find it. I finally asked a cashier at Safeway when they were going to restock the canned pumpkin. He told me he didn't know because there was a shortage at the warehouse. What?!?! I seriously wanted to cry. I NEED TO MAKE PUMPKIN BREAD! I make it pretty much once a week from October through December. I am trying not to panic.
I just googled "canned pumpkin shortage" and sure enough, there is a shortage of canned pumpkin. You can read about here.
