Hi friends, welcome back! I’m full speed ahead when it comes to all things fall and today, I'm crossing off an item on my Fall Bucket List and sharing my Trader Joe’s Fall Haul for you all. Doesn't it seem like all of a sudden pumpkin flavored everything completely took over fall? I asked google,…
Hi friends, welcome back! I’m so excited to finally be sharing all about the Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze. The Halloween event began in 2005 and features over 7,000 hand carved pumpkins organized into different sections, much like a museum features different exhibits. The Jack O’ Lanterns are made up of a mix of real…
