I Heart Faces- Orchard Photos

What splendid timing for an Orchard Photos challenge. My in-laws came to visit last week and we ventured to east county for an afternoon of apple picking (and apple pie eating). Here's a shot of my father-in-law enjoying the bountiful harvest.

Do Something New... 1st Update!

The start of October brought along the start of my new challenge: Do Something New...Everyday! My first weekend certainly set the bar high, and I can assure you that the rest of the challenge will probably be not so exciting, but without further ado, I bring you my first 8 days:


10/1: I ate pumpkin hummus for the first time. I liked the taste of it, but overall I've learned that I'm a bigger fan of sweet pumpkin recipes than savory!


10/2: I got to watch USC lose in real life! At the Coliseum! It was a happy day for me!


10/3: I stomped grapes in a barrel, I Love Lucy style! By far the coolest thing ever. 


10/4: I made a new white chicken chili recipe. It was delicious (and even more so the 2nd day)


10/5: I actually watched Daryll play a full softball game, from the sidelines. Not one of my favorites so far. I'd rather be playing! 


10/6: I painted my fingernails dark green per Megan's request


10/7: I used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean EVERYTHING in my house. How have I never used this miracle worker before?


10/8: I made sugar cookies and cut them out into pumpkin shapes. And I made homemade caramel sauce! Yum! 


I'll try to get some pictures up soon!
