Hey, good lookin'....watcha got cookin'.....


I am so excited for the fall. Today really was the first day that it felt like fall. What a joyous thing it was as I was coming home from the grocery store this evening with the windows down and the car thermometer registering 66 degrees! So AWESOME!!


I was enjoying General Conference today, feeling a little more rejuvenated than I felt yesterday. I love the charge I get listening to the General Authorities and their counsel. I always come away from it feeling like I have clear vision again of what I should be doing. It's so easy to lose our focus in this world, with so much going on, all of the time. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for all that I have.


So anyway, since it finally felt like a fall day, I was ready to do some baking. Nothing says fall like something yummy smelling coming from the oven, wafting through the house, and dancing in our nostrils.

Cinnamon Rolls!

Yup, I made them myself. Some of them grew taller than others, but tasted yummy. I try to make the food aesthetically pleasing, but sometimes you can't control what the yeast will do. I received rave reviews from my family. They were the best ones I've turned out thus far.

I had a little panic attack, realizing that next month is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, already!!!!

Oh my goodness, those look so good. I love fall too. The cooler weather just puts everyone in a better mood and changes the feel in our home. Conferance helps with that too. It was a wonderful weekend!
