Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

TBT: Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie
I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes just as much as the next girl, but, let’s face it…they’re not the healthiest thing on the planet. This is my somewhat-healthier (and less guilt-inducing) home version. Starting my day with this Pumpkin Spice Protein … Continue reading

Pumpkin Caramels
I should be ashamed of myself…here it is, almost the end of September, and I haven’t posted a new pumpkin recipe yet! But these Pumpkin Caramels might just be worth the wait, y’all. I’m pretty fascinated with the whole chemical … Continue reading
TBT: Peach Pumpkin Butter
I’m continuing the easy canning theme today with this deliciously sweet and tangy Peach Pumpkin Butter I posted last year. The season for pumpkin recipes somehow arrived earlier than I anticipated! And I love pumpkin…I must have been focusing on … Continue reading
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting
Psst…looking for something a little different but still pumpkin-y for Thanksgiving? These cupcakes are beyond delicious, I tell you! We made these back in October as we were following along on a Halloween countdown calendar. One of our activities was … Continue reading
Impossible Pumpkin Pie Bites

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds…Two Ways!
