Five Fall Vignettes Under $15

Spiced Chocolate Nightcap
As much as I love the holiday season, I’m not going to pretend that it isn’t one of the most stressful times of the year. We’re all busier than normal with gift-getting, kids home from school, and attending events we wouldn’t normally be bothered with. Of course – in the midst of all those things,…
Magical Ice Remover
Chance has it that if you live in the United States right now, you’ve been experiencing some chilly weather! Last week, I woke up to find my car windows covered in a layer of ice; and of course, I had no ice removal items on hand. So, naturally, I came up with this magical ice…

Candy Corn Candle
I’ve spent much of this week gearing up for Halloween! We’ve never been big around here on spooky decorations for the holiday (though some of these ideas are pretty awesome and a little spooky). I have a tendency to gravitate towards the cutesy Halloween stuff. Maybe it’s the fact that our kids are little? I…

(Grown-Up) Chilled Caramel Apple Cider
I don’t know about where you live … but it’s SO hot in Indiana right now. It’s been in the 90s every day this week – and it’s not that breezy hot like I remember from growing up on the beach. It’s stagnant, humid air. Ugh. If you’re anything like me, you’re basking in the…
