First Weekend of Fall

Hello friends! How was your weekend? Do anything exciting or enjoyable? Mine was pretty good! Started off with me treating myself to a celebratory drink in honor of Fall on Friday!


Since it was warmer than I was hoping it would be for the 1st day of Fall! I opted for a cold & yummy pumpkin spice frappe :)


Later that evening I made burgers & fries for dinner! Burgers were delicious but boy did they make a greasy mess all over my stove top as they cooked!! I had sautéed a huge heaping of finely minced onions in a pad.. or two.. or three of butter until they started to caramelize a bit and then placed the burgers onto the griddle over the onions & slowly cooked them on low :) 



After that we all channeled our inner cowboy or girl ;) Got ready & hurried out the door! And I mean hurry as in I left that greasy griddle on my stove top and unwashed dinner dishes sitting out just so we would make it on time to our first barn dance ever! 

That's my hubby & our 2 youngest :) 

That's my Ava one the left!


My kids with some of their homeschool friends! 2nd one in is my Ava , 5th one in is my Abby, the littlest boy to the right is my little guy Alex and the tiniest cowgirl to the right is my baby Hadley :)

Have any of ya'll ever been to a square dance before??? Talk about fun! Was truly the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of Fall with my family! Big open barn, loud country music, twinkle lights & the cool evening breeze coming through felt so amazing:) Oh and snacks too.. hehe! Just saying ;) 



Our littlest ones Alex & Hadley eventually made their way outside! He brought along his harmonica to play while Hadley had a hoot watching her own little shadow dance along side of her, all under the twinkling stars :) 



The rest of our weekend was all about comfy, cozy and coffee :) 


Some people like to mix cocktails on the weekend... I on the other hand like to mix this :) 

First I mix in the french vanilla, then I mix in the vanilla caramel latte! And as you can see it makes a really nice froth on top!! Genius right?!? 
 

More coffee & a warm chocolate croissant because it's the weekend, Fall is here and before  you know it we'll be breaking out those warm cozy sweaters & oversized sweatshirts anyways ;) 


Homemade banana muffins warm & fresh out the oven topped with princesss because my little guy Alex said we should add them on for Hadley because it would make her happy... 


And it did :) Such a sweet big brother she has! 
And there you have it, our first weekend in Fall! Hope you all had a wonderfully comfy & cozy weekend too! 




(Btw, this was meant to be posted on Monday but I was having some technical difficulties! lol.. I couldn't get onto the internet and check my blog or visit anyone else's blog! I tried enlarging the print on my blog but i'm not sure it took! What do ya'll think.. Is the print still too small? Shall I make any changes? Let me me know :) Basically  bear with me folks!! I am the least computer savy person I know and am still trying to figure things out on here!! lol)
Blessings to all!

Happy Fall Ya'll

 Ahhhhh Fall!!! How I missed you so much! As much as I enjoy the summer and all the wonderful  changes that come with each and every season, my heart will always sing for fall.  Infact, My husband & I got married in the fall! First week in November :) Just so we could have all those beautifully colored leaves on the ground & all around in the background of our wedding pictures! It was really romantic & beautiful!

So as you can see i've got my calendar marked for a celebratory drink! A pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks of course! Hehe!!



And I recently picked up a few adorable hand painted tin ornaments from a delicious & cozy Amish shop to add onto our season tree :)


Time to switch out the scents!  I've been burning this incredibly yummy smelling candle up until this final day just cause it smells that good! But now it's time for all things apple cinnamon & pumpkin spice! Although, I gotta be totally honest with you friends & let you know that I actually burn those smells all year round in my home! lol



Well, i'm looking forward to sharing all the fun & cozy moments that come during this wonderful season! And i'm looking forward to reading about yours! 
Blessings & hugs,

I did it!

Finally! I made a blog! Do you know how many times I attempted to make a blog & then get cold feet and change my mind, get stumped on what to call it or nervous that no one would be interested in anything I had to say! lol.. I suppose I am a bit of an over thinker! Well, I was recently in my car making a run to the food store, thinking about how I really, really, REALLY wanna start a blog & suddenly the name just came to me! Comfy.. Cozy.. and Coffee!! It couldn't be more perfect! It's really how I spend most of my days! So here I am finally! And i'm so excited to hopefully really connect & make friends with other mothers, wives, homeschoolers & just woman in general who find joy in the same things I do... Faith.. Food.. and Family❤




So please bare with me as this is new to me :) I am learning to navigate my way through this whole blogging process! I hope you will find my blog warm, inviting & easy to read! Any input, comments or suggestions on tweeking my blog would be warmly welcomed :)
