Happy Friday!!

Whew! We made it through another week! This is the last Friday of October 2016, where did the month go!?! Are you ready for November? My favorite month and time of year!! I love all the smells this time of year brings, as well as all of the color changes we have here in Michigan!

So what brings you here to my little corner of the blog world?? Would it be that you are here because you have watched my video over on youtube? Or have you just happened upon it? Whatever the reason, I am glad you are here! I am having a fun little giveaway, that I announced on my youtube channel, as a thank you for being a subscriber and hanging out with me a few times a week when I post a video. With this giveaway, I will have two lucky winners. The pictures below are the contents those 2 lucky winners will receive.

Now for the rules, not too many, just two:
1. Be a subscriber on my YT channel
2. Comment down below what your favorite food is that you must have on Thanksgiving.

I am leaving this open for one week, and will draw a winner via random.org, and will post it on my youtube channel next Friday, Nov. 4th. Good luck everyone!!

Pumpkin Muffins

Brrrr...it feels more like Fall weather, rather than the end of Summer! So it got me in the mood to do some baking. Its been a long while since I have been in the mood to bake. While getting groceries on Friday, one of of the end caps they had a display of all Fall like baking goodies.. .pumpkin, some carmel apple cookie mix (I resisted the urge to buy these, next week maybe).

The house smells so yummy! I am off to go enjoy one while they are still warm!!


I did a video tutorial for you as well!
