We’re full swing into celebrating fall around the Smelker household. Between baking pumpkin pies and making pumpkin spice for baking I also had time to make a DIY Front Door Wreath. You guessed it – there are pumpkins involved! But not your standard orange ones, gorgeous and simple white pumpkins. Not that it doesn’t look fabulous, but I think my favorite part was the cost involved.…
I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte. Which, being that I’m twenty-two whole years old and have always had access to a Starbucks – is surprising. Apparently if you go between now and October 8th they’ll even put Pumpkin Spice whipped cream on your pumpkin spice latte. Which is festive and all for sure. But for those of us thrifty fall-goers it doesn’t always make sense…

Before that, we eliminated all of the excuses preventing you from working towards building a social media presence for your small business. So since you’ve hopefully made the worthwhile decision to begin making your…
Hey guess what, it’s actually fall now. Like for real. As in not only has the calendar accepted that the season is here. But it was actually noticeable this morning how cool it was before 9 AM. For a place like New Mexico that you can hardly stand gripping your steering wheel at about 2 PM, this change in temperature is rather noteworthy. It’s always gotten…
I’ll never forget the day that I found out the hamburger I was eating came from an animal. An animal that used to be alive. I was relatively young when I made this discovery. Like many realities that aren’t the prettiest to hear, I wasn’t exactly the greatest recipient. I remember proclaiming that I wouldn’t eat meat any more. That I felt bad for the animals.…

Which is way more effective than just quickly flitting through the basic…
I know I was excited that it was officially September a little over two weeks ago. But now, it’s actually starting to look like fall here. Some of the white petals have fallen off of our oleander bush. The large oak trees that line the front lawns of the elementary schools and peer over the driveways of my old neighborhood have leaves that have begun to…
