It’s been five years in the making.
Maybe it was the 2 hour drive that deterred us?
Don’t ask me why we thought 2 hours in the car with kids would be any better…
But it most certainly was.
Something about Bubba’s over-the-top enthusiasm made it a day we’ll always remember.
Little legs racing from tree to tree (beanie bouncing), lots of shouting “Ooo! More way over there, Mama!”, Husby climbing trees (just so I could have a few Granny Smith’s in the mix, a happy baby in a bucket, and fallen smushy-gushy apples that caused slips and slides with repeated face-plants.
All part of the experience.
Not to mention the fruits of our labors.
The ginormous bag is making for some tasty apple concoctions (coming to a post near you).

Hi there…I just started following your blog and love it…I just started being a stay at home mom and find your blog refreshing. I struggled at first with the idea of putting myself in the mix of taking care of everyone, but your tips have been very helpful. Did I miss the information about your outfits. I love the hat on your little one and your hoodie is perfect for fall.
Story of our stay-at-home-mom life. Or women’s lives in general, really. It’s hard to balance it all all while making sure we take care of ourselves. Something I continually struggle with. Outfit deets are now posted 🙂
Oh my! His beanie is so cute! (And that first picture is my favorite! I would frame that one if I were you!) I would really love to go apple picking this year! If you make an apple pie, will you please share your recipe?! I’m dying to find a guaranteed, easy/delicious one! Looks like you had such a wonderful family outing!
Leigh, you’re too cute! Thanks for always adding a little sunshine to my day (today happens to be cloudy… in more than one way!) haha!
Oh my goodness, your family is so, so cute!!!
Thank you kindly! xo
