pumpkin patch

This weekend I took my niece, Ashley, to the pumpkin patch. In the future we shouldn't be allowed to go to the pumpkin patch alone. We left with so many pumpkins. Someone has to keep us in line haha! 

Noble Coffee Roasting

At the beginning of the month I participated in a Fall themed coffee swap. My partner was absolutely amazing! Everything in the package she sent was absolutely perfect. My favorite things though were the coffee beans and mug from Noble Coffee Roasting out of Ashland, OR. I was so excited when I opened the box and smelled delicious coffee. I was really excited to give it a try especially because it's from Oregon. The mug was an amazing plus. 

I used my Aeropress to make a latte and let me just tell you, it was delicious! I added just a little bit of maple syrup for sweetness. The coffee is a dark roast and it has a very dark chocolatey taste.

Their packaging is on point. I'm a huge font nerd, as you probably know, so their logo really jumped out at me. 

exploring familiar places

Saturday we went to Siloam Springs, Arkansas and explored their downtown. First stop was Pour Jon's to grab some delicious drinks. It's one of our favorite coffee shops. After that we walked across the street to a little park that has a pretty little creek and waterfall. We found a staircase that had a path up to a fancy neighborhood. It was really beautiful. We also saw a lone pumpkin growing in a tree! It was so random. We couldn't reach it or we would have rescued it. I let my niece take my camera and snap some photos. She's never used an actual camera before, just her phone. She's 14 but she has a pretty great eye. I think she'd be an awesome photographer one day.
