It’s apple-picking time, pumpkin spice anything is everywhere and the mornings are crisp and fresh. What’s your favorite things about this time of year? I know my favorite day of the week is Thursday when it’s time for our Encouraging Hearts & Home blog hop! Our most viewed post last week was One Little Number. It’s quite thought-provoking – I hope you’ll visit and take time to read!

This week’s featured posts:
- I Spy Letters because I have grandchildren back to school and also traveling. These will be prefect activities for both!
- Coffee Blog Tour and Giveaway because I’m a sucker for anything coffee (especially a giveaway!)
- Pumpkin Spice White Chocolate Carmelitas because I love trying new recipes this time of year!
And Now, for This Week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
