Fall is finally in full swing! If you have young kids, that most likely means you’ll be taking a trip to the local pumpkin patch and/or apple orchard for some festive fall fun! Now that Kade has reached an age where our family activities are a lot more interactive, we are always seeking new experiences for him…preferably ones that allow him to burn off a good bit of his seemingly endless supply of energy! So we recently took a trip out to Gaver Farm to take in their Fall Fun Fest! They have an apple orchard where you can pick your own apples, a pumpkin patch to supply the canvas for crazy Jack-O-Lantern carvings, and an endless list of other activities for kids of all ages…including us big kids! They also have the best apple cider donuts this side of the equator!

Popping Polka Dots
Polka Dots are Popping up everywhere! When I saw this dress hanging in Anthropologie, images of Julia Roberts in the Pretty Woman movie came flooding into my mind. There are a few iconic looks from the movie that I can recall so vividly. The knock-your-socks-off gorgeous ruby red ball gown she wore to the opera, the […]
