FIRST FRIDAY - NOVEMBER

Happy Friday! How was your Halloween? Mine was pretty quiet, good, but quiet. This year the girls were off with their friends, I wrote this post, and Josh watched TV. Not a typical night for us at all. Usually, we are busy with projects, work, and running our girls. I feel like we never stop moving. The two of sitting in the same room at 8:00 pm on a weeknight just does not happen these days.

I miss the busy Halloween nights, a house full of people getting ready to trick or treat. We don't live in a neighborhood anymore and don't have any trick or treaters. I am just happy my kiddos are having a good time and I am accepting this new season we are in.

Featured soap

I made this Apple and Clove soap, and it is so good! The first batch I made sold quickly at the markets and went out in September subscription boxes. I have made it again, and you can find it in the shop! It's the perfect combination of sweet apple and spicy clove, I think you will love it!

Monthly Winner

Laurie L. is the monthly winner! Thank you to everyone that stopped by and shopped in October.

Cocktail

This month I made a Fall Shandy. I am a fan Summer Shandy, where you mix lemonade with beer, so refreshing and tasty. For a fall twist, I am using Apple Cider instead of lemonade. I mixed the apple cider with light pilsner, not wanting it too sweet. It would also be great mixed with a pumpkin beer, or ginger beer.

Ingredients

12 oz Beer

8 oz Apple Cider

Cinamon Stick

In a glass combine, apple cider and beer garnish with a cinnamon stick - enjoy!

Catching up!

We spent most of the month finishing projects that we started in the summer and spring. I am also busy making products to fill up the shop for the holidays! I can't wait to share it all, but I will save it for another post:)

Have a great weekend!
