Falling in love with Fall

Fall is here at last! Cool weather...the fire blazing...pumpkin spice coffee...sweatshirts...sweaters...leggings...boots...and I must say I am in love! I have always liked the fall of the year, but it seems like I am loving it even more as we progress into the season. And of course there is carmel apples......a favorite of ours!!!

I have been looking for some good ways to make carmel and I found a simple way to make it on Pinterest. The pinner boasted of perfection and delisiousness in this simple how~to and so I decided to try it.


All you need is a crock-pot. (I just used my small one)







A can of sweetened condensed milk. (I used GV brand)






You put the whole can in the crock-pot and cover with water. After cooking the can in the crock-pot for 8hrs on low and then cooling in the fridge....you will open the jar to an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G treat! (be sure to cool or it will expload when you open the jar......yes I learnt this the hard way)






I served it up with a platter of fresh apples for dessert for my sweet hubby. He loves apples and carmel and I was anxious to see if he liked it.






The taste test........










 
 
 
 
 
 
So now we have a new Fall favorite thanks to Pinterest. I encourage you to try it. It is DELISH!!!

Till I blog again.....Lacey

Feet & Fellowship



Our MK consultant Melissa Noe and her sister. They were so much fun!


You may think I've lost my marbles with a title like this.......but tonight we had just that. A night all about Feet and Fellowship. Ashlee and I recently won a Mary Kay skin care facial (thanks to me entering our names in a drawing....you're welcome weeeeez!) :) We went a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Thankfully my wonderful husband was gracious enough to keep the kids so we had a ladies evening out. We ejoyed a good 2 or 2 1/2 hours of pampering. We learnt many great ways to help keep our skin from sagging and bagging.

When we learnt the consultant also did a pedicure party we booked it immediatly!

So tonight we got our lady friends together and had a wonderful night all about our feet and had a great time being together. Nothing brings the ladies together like food and beauty. :)



My little piggies soaking in the good stuff!



Ivy's water was sooooooooo dirty! She blamed it on Trinity....but we all know the truth! :)



Wheeeew Weeeee! If Laura feels this good at our next church foot washing I think we may just break out in REVIVAL!!!!!



Ashlee and Beck soaking their little piggies.



So proud of our clean, fresh, and soft feet! Who knew feet could be so much fun? :) :)



The gang.....

I can't wait till our next party! It's gonna be so much fun!!!!

Oh Ivy...I almost forgot, how did Steven like his new toothbrush? ;)
