An Apple A Day Fall is definitely here. The seagulls have stopped squealing, the tourists have dissipated, the leaves are changing and the air is much cooler. It's the time for cozy sweaters, warm soups and snuggles under the blanket. It's also time for apples! I heard about this apple festival from the girls at work. It sounded like fun so we journeyed through the country about an hour to Middle Farm. It is all things apple here. They had scones, turnovers, ciders, mead, cakes, sausages, cheeses... all make with apples. And they were pressing their own apples and pears for the best juice in the WORLD! We should have purchased more because it was gone in two days. I HAVE to get a juicer when I get home. They also had a little carnival for the kiddies. This tent had at least fifty different varieties of apples to try and purchase. I think I ended up consuming at least three whole apples from trying them. This was the monster apple. It was bigger than Eric's hand! Th

(This is a long one - just warning you.) When we arrived in Paris it was dark, but the city was aglow in beautiful lights. Our hotel was up one of the little streets from the Rue de Rivolli, a long street that runs parallel from the Tuileries Gardens, with very posh shops and restaurants. Our hotel was beautiful Hotel Mayfair. Welcome. It had the smallest old-fashioned elevator. It was barley large enough to fit both Eric and I. We had a lovely dinner of boeuf bourguignon and very friendly French men at Lescure Restaurant near our hotel. We then we headed out for a night on the town! We walked along the Seine to the Eiffel Tower, over to the Arc de Triomphe and down the grandiose Avenue des Champs Elysees. As we were walking towards the Eiffel Tower it started sparkling! So romantic! This is a replica of the Statue of Liberty's torch called 'Flame of Liberty'. It is a full-sized, gold-leaf-covered replica of the torch flame carried in the hand of the Statue of Liberty.

AVERY'S 2nd BIRTHDAY

I decided to post pictures of Avery's party on this blog since I didn't know where else to do it. I figured this is just as good of a place as any. I decided on an ice cream theme since the girl loves ice cream. It's hot and it's summer so it seemed the perfect fit! This party took me over a month to prepare for. It may not seem like it but it did. I did a lot of internet searches, I created all the labels and invitations on my own on Photoshop (and I'm not tech savvy so this took a lot longer than it should have!) and tried to do as much DIY as possible. I always think I save money but in the end I think I end up spending more. Most of my inspiration came from Pinterest (what did we do with out this great invention?). Here is a link to my Pinterest board for my inspiration to the party if you're interested. Here is her invitation. I created this in Photoshop. My theme was trying to be old fashioned, vintage-y ice cream parlor with light pinks, browns,
