Comprised of the New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and the Mid Atlantic states (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania); this part of the country explodes with color. And for us, that means making a lot of day trips in and around Albany. Day trips are a great way for us to spend time as a family and a mostly budget friendly way- depending on where we’re going.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating; I love shopping online. And this is coming from a person who generally cannot stand shopping. Yes, I’m a female and perhaps I’m breaking a mold or swaying from the norm. But I really do not like going shopping. Unless it’s for books or craft supplies. But I digress. I like shopping online because I don’t have to leave my home, I can do comparison shopping, and it’s even better when I can find everything that I’m looking for in one stop. The convenience of a shopping mall…

Do you like donuts? I’ll admit, it’s not one of my favorite foods but mostly because I tend to eat too many. I do have my favorites though (Boston Cream & Maple Glazed) and like to treat myself every so often. I wondered though how difficult it was to make donuts at home instead of going out to buy them. After some googling, I found a tasty recipe for baked donuts and decided that I would use that for my base to make my own baked pumpkin donuts with maple glaze.  And with my love for all things pumpkin spice, I also wanted to see how I could add that flavor into the mix. I also looked for a simple glaze recipe to make these extra…

Fall is one of my favorite seasons for several reasons. One being all of the pumpkin flavored everything and another being the changing leaves. Another reason I love Fall has to do with living in Albany. We’re close to several apple orchards and love taking the time to visit them to go pick apples. And whether it’s for eating them right away or for baking, we always have apples on hand. This year, I wanted to expand a little bit on that by creating a apple themed tot school unit for Squeaker. The unit is really a mini-unit and the activities can be spread out over a few days or done in one day. In addition to the activities in the tot pack, I would…
