I especially love your fall posts as it too is my favorite season. My favorite fall drink of course is a pumpkin spice latte (with soy) from Starbucks. Scent would have to be Leaves from Bath and Body Works. My candle is quickly getting smaller as I burn it all the time and it is just the right combination of fall scents. Apple Crumble is a close second. Food: anything pumpkin, except for pumpkin pie. this weekend I'm planning to make pumpkin cupcakes with pumpkin cream cheese frosting. very excited!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554993381140913848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-3612710307624562562011-10-11T23:49:25.096-04:002011-10-11T23:49:25.096-04:00I love the smell of apples.

I haven't made any comments before, but truly enjoy your frankness and openness. That being said, I'll just be as honest, I love winning things, large or small...tickles my funny bone :) <br />So, the answers to your categories are: I love vanilla brown sugar (by Bath & Body Works). My favorite beverage is coffee, but sometimes I switch to Chai Latte at Biggbys or Starbucks. My favorite activity this time of year is raking leaves (when the kids were younger we made leaf forts. Sometimes we made yard leaf mazes) But, then, the real fun begins when we burn those leaves!! I absolutely love that..and then sitting around that fire roasting marshmallows, chatting with the fam, etc.<br />So, there you have it...:) Thank you for letting me in on glimpses of your busy nothing life...Keeps me feeling a little connected with you, too.Jo Koensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-81618985594949052712011-10-07T09:11:54.307-04:002011-10-07T09:11:54.307-04:00Yay! for 2 years!

I love to mix it up a bit and shake a little cinnamon in it. For me its extra special because I have a strange creamer allergy so I am able to get this particular drink made from soy and no whip and it doesn't cause me any strange allergy reactions. <br /><br />Oh Carrie--you make blogging so much fun. As a new blogger, I have to say I'm glad I found your site.

Of course our Alaskan falls are much too short but beautiful as well. One of my favorite fall things to do is to make pumpkin bread using the recipe I got from you!!!

W...Congratulations on your two-year blog-a-versary! Wow! Unfortunately, I'm a hit-and-miss reader, but I do enjoy reading your blog when I can find the time. I've never actually posted a comment before.... So, I am now forced to (shamelessly) admit that I have been totally snowballed (or perhaps pumpkin-rolled) by the fact that you have dangled the bait of a chance to *win* fabulous fall goodies! With that in mind, I shall commence to commenting! <br /><br />I like the spicier fall scents. As I am typically a floral-fragrance kind of girl, finding fall and winter fragrances that appeal to me can sometimes be challenging. Warm Vanilla Sugar, Apple Pie and other food-scented things make me vaguely nauseous...but Cranberry or Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla-Mint, Peppermint or other things where the spice fragrance is more prominent than the fruit or sugary sweet undertone are usually winners with me. :)<br /><br />Favorite mainstream fall beverage (hands-down!) is Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, I did make my first batch of homemade spiced apple cider in the crock-pot this past weekend (pure heaven!). We always make a batch or two of wassail at Christmastime, but I guess I've wandered into winter there.<br /><br />My favorite fall activities are harder to narrow down. My birthday, of course, becomes a week-long fall extravaganza. Cedrick and I also love taking brisk early evening walks with the dogs. (The changing foliage here in the mountains is breath-taking!) And, of course, there is always much debate at our house over who's carved pumpkin is the coolest. :D <br /><br />Best wishes to you & your blog as you move forward into year three!<br /><br />--LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491610104492825087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-21208496313914360742011-10-06T12:08:01.817-04:002011-10-06T12:08:01.817-04:00Yeah!
