Easy Homemade Mac & Cheese
Sometimes I just crave macaroni and cheese, don’t you? But something in me just has a really hard time buying that blue box with powdered cheesy mix. So, I decided to try a homemade version. It turned out pretty good, and I’ve since come up with a few variations. It takes about 15 minutes (or…

The maps didn’t excite me much, but at the very beginning of the book was a 2-page spread of the night sky with stars and constellations labeled. This, I loved!

I Love Fall!
I really do. Pumpkins, cornucopias, the smell of freshly fallen or even burning leaves. Dressing up and being goofy on Halloween. Fresh pressed apple cider and donuts.
