Happy October!

Bring on the Halloween candy and Fall festiveness! I'm not crazy about Halloween itself (though I know it will be infinitely more fun with our little babe next year) but I just love this time of year.

I've finally unpacked my sweaters, worn my leggings, and put some pumpkins around the house. I've still got some decorating to do but I'm learning that will be a process as this belly grows!

I decided to go more simple with decor this year and I'm loving the subtle chevron print on the pumpkin I picked up from where else but Target.

We've got a busy October and a lot to look forward to in November (hello Thanksgiving food, maternity photos, and baby shower!). We're heading to Florida and playing tourist with some visitors here in Charleston, complete with a trip to Boone Hall Plantation. We'll also head to Asheville to see the mountains in all their Fall-colored glory, hitting up an orchard along the way. Mama needs some apples for all of that baking I plan on doing!

Still not sure what to do with all this space on our new table! Anyone have some ideas? Keep the baskets?

There may not be any pumpkin beer for me this year, but I'm easily filling the void with pumpkin flavored sweets starting with these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola bars. They are the perfect amount of sweet and chewy. Plus if there is oatmeal in them, that makes them kind of healthy... right?

I baked them just in time to cuddle and watch the first of many Hocus Pocus showings. Now all we need is a dip in temps so we can use our pretty fireplace again!

If you're looking for a good Fall project or recipe, make sure to check out my Fall wreath, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin biscotti from last year! Hopefully I can get around to baking them again and fixing those ugly pictures, eek!
