It’s hard for me to transition to fall because I love summer so much but two things help – apple cider and pumpkin everything. Watching football and drinking a delicious steaming mug of hot buttered rum apple cider is a great way to spend a weekend. Below I’ve included instructions for how to make this tasty fall drink in a slow cooker. It makes an entire gallon so it’s great to serve at a party. You certainly can cut the recipe down to whatever amount of servings you want. Also, you can make this recipe on top of the stove instead of a slow cooker.
It’s that time of year when I like to take stock of what my kids will need, in terms of clothing, for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. What winter boot sizes will we need this year?

Read below to find out why I am still homeschooling, the curriculum I recommend, and a list of easy homeschool supplies.
Whenever I get anxious I turn to books. Now that August has arrived I’m starting to have a little anxiety about September and what exactly this fall and winter are going to look like. I’ve been reading a ton but not all the books have lived up to their popularity. Read my book reviews below to see if there are any titles you might want to add to your must-read list.
