Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign // We’re Stronger Together

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We all know someone who has been affected. This month, let us all vow to do a self-breast exam… and maybe even head to the doctor for a thorough check-up. I know personally, I have been putting it off.  Scroll down to the end of this post for further Breast Cancer Resources… including products that you can buy to support the fight. {You can join the online conversation with #BCAstrength.}

Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting

:: Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting ::

Confession…. this post was totally supposed to be about Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting {whew… that’s a mouthful}, but…. the frosting literally STOLE the show! I decided that this entire post had to be dedicated to its light, airy, sweetness!

So, a little background… I first had this whipped cream cheese frosting when one of my lovely friends/coworkers made me cupcakes for my surprise baby shower with Mr. Amazing. Thankfully, my dear friend gave me the recipe, which I then passed on to Nicole, and some of my other close friends. In fact, Nicole also loves it, and has shared the recipe with you here. This time around… I made a minor {dare I say…. remarkable} adjustment, which turned this perfect summer frosting into the perfect one for fall. In fact… I couldn’t sleep last night because I was thinking of all the ways one could eat this heavenly confection!

Here are my thoughts… this would be incredibly delicious topped on pancakes, waffles, spice cakes, pumpkin, apple, or pecan pies, graham crackers, sugar cookies, or even fall muffins! It could be used as a sweet filling for dessert crepes… or you could simply dunk sliced apples right into it! Of course, there’s always my favorite option… eat. it. straight. out. of. the. bowl. If you choose that last option, just know you’re going to lick that bowl clean! It’s just that good! [Read more…]

Happy weekend, friends! I don’t know about you…. but our weather here in the SoCal mountains is finally starting to resemble FALL! I couldn’t be more excited! In fact, this evening while at the market, I picked up all the ingredients needed to make apple cider for the kids! Do you have any fun plans this weekend? I’d love to hear all about them if you do! Please leave a comment and say “hi!” 

 

Life is Beautiful // Tumblr

This is the first tumblr blog I’ve been on where I became completely mesmerized by the images, quotes, and songs playing in the background.  In fact… the site now has a pretty spot at the front of my bookmarks bar. I’ve been going back frequently when I feel the need for a mental pick-me-up. These are just a few of the photos compiled on her site over the last week… lifeisbeautiful-tumblr

It’s so funny how only a couple of months ago, Nicole and I were both enthusiastically awaiting warm, carefree summer days… and now our minds have completely made the switch to Autumn. We are currently daydreaming of crisp weather, fallen leaves, cinnamon, cozy sweaters, apple cider, full moons, pumpkin carvings, boots, warm crackling fires, cuddling close, autumn colors, scarecrows, salted caramel hot chocolates, wool blankets, football season, baked treats, thankfulness, visits with friends & family, hay rides, snug scarves, candy corn, costumes, pumpkin spice lattes, harvest festivals, weekend naps, movie nights, caramel apples, corn mazes & good books! Oh Fall… how we love thee!

It’s still scorching hot in Southern Califonia… but we can dream! With this edition of Lovelies we are welcoming Fall with open arms and happy, eager hearts! Enjoy & let us know what you are most excited for in the coming season! {xo}

Inspiring Family Documentary // Wildflowers Photography Blog

I can’t say enough about this inspirational family! I am completely reeled into their sweet life on the road!  A couple of weeks ago I shared with you their blog and journey as a family of six {view lovelies here}…. Since then, I’ve kept up with their travels through Joy’s blog and candid Instagram feed. Her photographs take my breath away. They truly tell a story. Here is a short video of their beautiful family and plan for the year ahead….
