I love baking — right now, my kitchen is filled with apple and pumpkin spiced treats.
Nordic Ware’s Autumn Treats Pan will take those autumn goodies to another level. Each pan makes six cakelettes shaped like pumpkins, leaves, and acorns. Eat them straight from the pan, or accent with a little icing or chocolate once they cool.
This baking pan is $36.

I never thought it would happen to me: my husband decided to start a home improvement project 3 hours before we have houseguests coming!
Work is so stressful at the moment. I spend my days lurching from crisis to crisis and it is really starting to get to me. I spent most of today feeling like I would be physically sick because it was all too much. I think its just the general overwhelm of big job married to big job, two kids, one of whom has some additional needs, and some parent medical issues that I have to actively manage from far away (I’m an only child, parent has no family in this country). We already outsource pretty much everything. So what do you do when this happens? There is no end in sight for the work chaos. It might get better in 2024 but I’m not confident of that. Ugh.
Any tricks for keeping an old-school ghost costume from sliding down my toddler’s head?
Anyone else have an insane weekend of Halloween/fall events? We’re doing stuff tonight, basically all day tomorrow and Sunday afternoon and evening, and that’s after turning down a couple of invites/events. And of course there’s trick or treating on Tuesday, and then I’m chaperoning a field trip Wednesday morning with a bunch of sugar-filled, sleep deprived kids. Good vibes and lots of caffeine to all.
