Trader Joe's Fall Haul

There's not much I love more than a run to Trader Joe's during the months of September, October, November and December. I took  a trip to Trader Joe's to stock up on our favorite fall items and wanted to share my haul. Basically the name of the game was "if it has the words apple or pumpkin on it, it goes it the cart. Haha! Here are some of the items we picked up:


Trader Joe's has a really delicious maple syrup. I use it in a variety of recipes this time of year!


These little cookies are quite delightful. They aren't overwhelmingly pumpkin but they definitely have a pumpkin spice flavor. 

Yes, yes, yes. I put some of this Honey Crisp Granola over their vanilla bean yogurt and loved it. 


I tried this soup for the first time last year and was a huge fan. I love to divide the jar between two containers, and voila! Lunch is served for the next two days. 


Now these donuts are yummy, but they aren't going to be able to compete with apple cider donuts purchased from an apple orchard. If you aren't taking a trip to an apple orchard this fall, these will make a good stand-in option. 


I got this dressing to serve with my salads I packed for work this week. Super yummy!


Our dog comes sprinting when I shake this bag of treats so they must be delicious. Haha! I love that our dogs can also enjoy pumpkin flavored treats. 


These little pretzels are the perfect sweet/salty combination. They are very small, which is dangerous because the serving size isn't huge. They're still a win in my book!


I've never purchased Trader Joe's Pepper Jelly, but I heard it was one of their best seasonal items so I bought three jars. Haha! 


How cute are these little hot chocolate spoons? I bought three and think they would make a precious teacher gift, alongside some other goodies. 


My, oh my. Why haven't I tried this before?! It's a yummy sweet/salty/spicy snack mix and I absolutely gobbled it up. I totally wish I had bought a few more bags!



This is also a great find! It's a fruit and vegetable wash that makes washing produce a breeze. Typically I fill a large mixing bowl with water and a few squirts of this soap. You should see how yucky the water is by the time I'm finished washing our produce for the week!


This was another yummy buy! I really loved it as an afternoon snack alongside a La Croix. 

What else did I miss?! I'd love to hear your seasonal favorites from Trader Joe's.

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. πŸ˜‰ He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today! 

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days πŸ˜…) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. πŸ˜‚ It is somet...
