Halloween! :)

The long awaited Halloween side of my pillow covers :)

Autumn with the Ateam

So Autumn has arrived at Starbucks & our apartment :) Amy & I spent the weekend making our new fall pillows (mine are reversible pillow cases that are Halloween on the other side.) It was good times.

The mess that comes with crafting...

Waffle (the owl pillow) is in good company now :)

The final product (I forgot to take a picture of the Halloween side and I'm too lazy to untie them now so that will have to come later.)

The burlap pillow in the middle and the orange one behind it are Amy's creations. She free-handed that leaf. It's ok to be in complete awe of her!

and of course it wouldn't be fall without the Cheesehead (it's only weird if it doesn't work) and football on the TV

Adventures in cooking - Lauren & Amy style

So I decided to make Oreo truffles for Andrew as a welcome home present. The recipe (courtesy of the Six Sisters) looked.easy enough & I enlisted Amy to help.
Things started out great & the Oreo balls were delicious, but when it came time to dip them in the white chocolate things started to get adventurous...

Ruined chocolate

Thankfully it all worked out in the end & they're delicious!

I rolled the extra balls in the left over oreo crumbs when the chocolate failed :)

Fall Bucket List

I want to do this! :)

Le Book

Le sigh. Looking for a publisher/ literary agent is exhausting. I suppose if it was easy, everyone would be published. Found a few maybes so we'll see. Positive response from everyone whose read my book so far, so I feel like that's a good sign.

Happy Birthday! Sorry I could not be there.

Trains, Trains & More Trains :)

Went to ride mini trains with Andrew, Amy & Zach on Saturday. SO much fun!

Enjoy!
