Fall Has Arrived!!

My favorite time of the year has finally settled in, here in Wichita! Fall has arrived and is here to stay! I love this time of year. I love the cool, brisk mornings. I love the fall smells from the air to the candles to the baked goods. I love curling up in my sweats and sweatshirts in the evenings and wearing my slippers around the house. I love the nostalgia that fall brings, memories from when Brandon and I were dating, times spent with family at football games, high school activities... Everything just makes me feel warm and secure! Weird, maybe, but I love it!

In honor of Fall, here is a new favorite seasonal recipe:

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread

1 pkg cream cheese, softened (I use the reduced fat kind)

1/2 c. canned pumpkin

1/4 c. sugar

3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice or all spice

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat all the ingredients together until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Use as a spread on bagels or as a dip with cinnamon graham crackers or ginger snaps!

Tomorrow, I fully intend to post pictures of Koby with his new blanket. He just loves it! I also intend to post a picture of the greatest bargain ever (okay, maybe not ever, but it comes close!)!

Have a wonderful day!
