Last year, Ashton Kutcher tweeted about the Teal Pumpkin Project for Halloween. The food allergy community lost its damn mind in the best way.

This weekend, I was at a work function where there were thousands of vendors trying to sell their goods.

My BFF has been trying to go easy on the grains lately.

Can we talk about self-care for a hot minute?

I kind of hate it.

Nothing says fall to me like a pumpkin treat, and I love the combination of cloud-like cookies and frosting. It’s like an Oreo and a birthday cake had a baby during pumpkin spice season and created a true joy of autumnal desserts.

After my husband and I were first married, we hit a rocky patch.

Almond butter blondies are an easy and delicious (and easy) breakfast treat.

The country is kind of obsessed with KonMari. I get it. Truly, I do.

The Internet has told us that instead of selling our wild summer children to a band of traveling performers, we should go swimming with them instead. At a beach or at the pool, your choice. The Internet also told us that us moms should get over our silly body issues and just play! Have fun!

So, can we be (mostly) done with pumpkin spice all-the-things now? Let’s move on to something better, bolder, more festive.
