So can we get a hallelujah for all things fall related? Ok, now that’s over with let’s talk about Pumpkin and more specifically delicious pie. Oh man do I have something amazing for you!
A few weeks ago I found this mouth watering pin from Tidymom.net
Apparently I pinned this last year and never made it. I’m so glad I found it again, it’s that good guys!

Cleaning up is way easier with this girl doing all the work!
Linking up for This Weekend I…
We have some of the greatest neighbors! I love when we get together over amazing food.
I’ve made this pie twice in the last two weeks. It’s so good. I’ll have the recipe up on the blog this week.
I’m totally addicted to bright things. Right?
I’m in love!
Catching up on writing and reading blogs. Somehow I never find time to read and comment on all your lovely blogs! If there was an award for worst blog reader in the world, I’d win.
Taking a new profile pic is serious business!
What crazy things did you get into this weekend?
Fall and Christmas…hands down, best time of the year. Can we all agree on that? Ok, moving on.
Like I mentioned yesterday, celebratin’ holidays needs to happen one at a time. Treat each day with the respect it deserves. That being said, there comes a time every year (around the second week of November) when I start itching to listen to Christmas movies and indulge in a little Love Actually. But rules are rules I’m a crazy person , and I hold off until after the turkey is put away. If you feel the same way, today is your day! I’ve spent a few years (I wish I was kidding) compiling a list of movies that contain Christmas scenes but aren’t strictly Christmas movies.
-Under the Tuscan Sun-
Spending Christmas in Italy, yes please!
-Save the Last Dance-
My college years in Chicago makes me love this movie even more.
-Where the Heart Is-
Cheesy sappy goodness
-Maid in Manhattan-
Not one of JLo’s best, but the NYC scenes can’t be beat. Plus Simon and Garfunkel can’t hurt.
-Serendipity-
All the classic elements: Winter, skating, hot chocolate, and love.
-Someone Like You-
If you haven’t seen this movie, make some time. I love Ashley Judd.
-Sleepless in Seattle-
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks make my list, again!
-Bed of Roses-
One of my absolute favorite movies. By far the longest Christmas scene in my entire list.
-You’ve Got Mail-
I know this was on my list yesterday, but come on “The horn the horn, it sounds so forlorn.” Stop what you’re doing and watch if you are confused.
-Emma-
The Gwyneth Paltrow version is the best. Nothing like a Jane Austen ball to cheer you up!
-Mean Girls-
It would be an incredible shame if I didn’t include this gem on my list! The Talent Show? Teenage movie solid gold.
I’m pretty well known for my war on anything Christmas before Thanksgiving. Save the Pilgrims and all that. Starting on September 1st, I put the breaks on anything Christmas related and revel in my favorite movies with an autumnal theme.
-Stepmom-
This movies makes me incredibly nostalgic for my elementary school days in Wisconsin. The Thanksgiving play, leaves changing color, the crisp cool morning, ugh, I watch it at least two or three times a month during this season!
-You’ve Got Mail-
Don’t you just love New York in the fall?
Simply one of the best Meg Ryan movies, in my opinion. Did you know that this movie is actually a remake of a remake? The original movie is named The Shop Around the Corner (also the name of Meg Ryan’s character’s store!)
It takes place in 1940’s Budapest with Jimmy Stuart playing a store clerk. It’s a great Christmas movie! The Shop Around the Corner spun off into a musical called In the Good Old Summertime with Judy Garland.
If you love You’ve Got Mail, you need to see these other two gems.
-It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown-
Do I really need to explain myself?
-Growing the Big One-
I happened to catch this one last year on a Redbox night. Cute, sappy, and predictable but really charming. Shannon Doherty has to move back home, doesn’t want to, but shocker finds love in the end!
Stayed tuned for tomorrow’s list!
My Favorite Non-Christmas Christmas Movies (It’ll make sense, I promise!)
Linking up for This Weekend I…
Cue the angel chorus, bust out the leggings, boots, and gigantic sweaters. Fall is finally here in Texas!
Waiting for my stylist at the salon!
This is my life.
I wrote this post a couple days ago. Check it out! I’ve planned some other fall themed posts for the month. Get excited. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing my favorite fall movies.
Umm, Little Giants was on ABC Family yesterday. I’m 110% positive Devon Sawa was my first crush. Freaking stars in my eyes!
Ps…I’m totally embracing October, great ready for fall themed posts all month long. Hashtag, sorry not sorry.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!!
Well…almost.
If you’re anything like me, money is tiiiight. And if knowing that the season is just around the corner is making you run for cover, fear not. I’ve got you covered! Now is the perfect time to make a game plan!
Simple Ways to Not Max Out Your Credit Card this Holiday Season
-Start Buying a Visa Gift Card Once a Week.-
Pick a dollar amount that fits your budget. Use those cards to buy your gifts or give them as gifts!
-Hit Up a Few Etsy Shops-
If you don’t have a favorite (or two!) Etsy shops, where have you been? There’s nothing like helping out a small business owner. PS-If you ask really nicely, they may offer you and your readers a coupon code or a giveaway. Use you blog for good.
-Buy a Few Small Things Each Time You Shop-
My grandma always picked up little knickknacks here and there during the year. Sometimes she gifted us right away, other times she saved it for Christmas. Either way it was so special knowing she thought about you while being out and about.
-Homemade-
Check out your Crafts to Make board (don’t pretend you don’t have one) and make something! You’ll thank me later!
-Layaway-
Wal-Mart, Sears and K-Mart are all offering layaway programs this season. I even saw an ad from Wal-Mart that offered no sign up costs! Sweet deal.
Happy October! One of my favorite months is finally here. What is it about fall that gets bloggers all in a tizzy?!
Whatever, I love to play along!
Some things I’m looking forward to:
Can’t wait to make these with the littles in my class.
I need to bake this like yesterday!
Pumpkin pie dip….amaze
Simple and easy.
Drooling!
I think Ghost Pumpkins are my favorite!
I’m a sucker for a great soup!
Hmmm…pie…
What are you looking forward to?
