Hi everyone! Welcome to this week’s linky party. It’s so great to see all the back to school and fall content that everyone is starting to put out! This week I’m featuring a few apple recipes. I think of apple as the fruit of the fall season, so I’m sure you will see more apple stuff here in the coming months. Wink!
Also, if you are in to giveaways, my 5-hour Energy Giveaway is still open, and the prize includes a $25 GC. I’ve also got some fun giveaways coming up, including something great for all the coffee lovers out there, so stay tuned!
And lastly, I’d love to get your feedback on some of my latest posts. I’ve been working on a lot of fun content for back to school, football season, and fall, so please subscribe to my RSS feed or follow along on Blog Lovin’ to catch all the latest updates. In particular, I’d love to check out the posts I did on All Day Beauty with Neutrogena and my Smooth Summer with Gillette Flexball. I had a lot of fun creating these, and I think they turned out well. I’d love to get your comments!
Even though we’re winding down the summer and doing the back to school thing over here, I still have a few summer guest posts to go this month! Today I’m excited to have Karen from From the Garden Table. Karen has prepared a delicious looking treat, which I personally think would be perfect for fall or the upcoming fall season. Check it out her Blueberry Buckle Coffee Cake! [Read more…]

Each month or so I look forward to changing out the wreath on the door and wreaths in the house. Creekside Farms has a fantastic selection of wreaths for every season. I was very excited when they offered to send me their Fall Abundant Wreath. This is a very large wreath at 22 inches in diameter, and they certainly named it right! [Read more…]
