I'm a Winner!

A few days ago I received an e-mail from Jenna over at Momma Told Me, letting me know that I won her New England Coffee giveaway. If you haven't yet checked out Momma Told Me, you have to head over...she always has tons of awesome giveaways and her reviews are a pleasure to read. A fair warning to you though: entering her giveaways becomes addicting and you may find yourself obsessively checking for the new goodies she's offering on her site ;)

Yesterday I was delighted to find that my package had already arrived. I've been a fan of New England Coffee for several years now, so I was super excited about this prize!

I didn't get home until kind of late last night, so I had to wait until this morning to try out my coffee. So in honor of the Pumpkin Spice blend that I've been so psyched to try, I put together a nice breakfast with my favorite pumpkin dish and mug.

I paired my pumpkin coffee with a few slices of fresh, homemade chocolate zucchini bread from yesterdays farmers market.

Pumpkin, coffee, and chocolate = heaven.

New Seasonal Scents

The weather up here has been kind of wacky lately. It will be summery and warm one day and then brisk and fall-like the next. The poor trees are getting confused and are already starting to drop their leaves!

While I am sad that summer is coming to an end, autumn is my favorite time of year so I'm super excited for the leaves to start changing. The cool weather has made me think I should start working on some new scents to reflect the coming autumn weather.

I just tried out one scent that I'm calling "Apple Orchard". It smells just like fresh apples, I love it! I also found a scent called "Pumpkin Souffle" but it smells more like pumpkin pie to me, so I'm calling it "Pumpkin Harvest Spice".

I'm so happy with both of the new scents and picking out the fragrances and the colors really put me in the mood for autumn. Here's to a hearty welcome to the chilled fall air, comfy sweaters, and an excuse to wear my boots again:
