    Pumpkin oatmeal? Yum! Is it homemade?

    • missy November 6, 2013 at 2:43 pm

      Yes, just mix in a few spoonfuls of pumpkin puree and add traditional spices (cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, salt)… even maple syrup is good too!

    Aww what great pictures!! What did you make for dinner in your crockpot? I love crockpot cooking πŸ™‚ and would love a new recipe πŸ™‚ Your boys are adorable πŸ™‚

    • missy November 6, 2013 at 2:47 pm

      It’s a sirloin roast (seared) and seasoned with salt & pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and bay leaves. toss in parrots, potatoes and onions and you have “Pot Roast”

  • Hannah November 4, 2013 at 4:31 pm

    Your life looks so serene and peaceful! Wish I could lose a little bit of my “busy”. Would it be weird going on a leaf hunt without any little ones? πŸ™‚

  • Monique November 5, 2013 at 3:24 pm
