Together for Life

      Fall is our favorite season.  This may or may not have to do with the fact that my Husband's birthday is in October.  He is the only one I've met who asks for pumpkin pie instead of cake on the big day.  Who am I to quibble?  Due to a plethora of food sensitivities, we had to get a bit creative in the pie department.  And by creative, I mean we had to get on Pinterest to find a recipe that would do the job.     Lucky for us, we found one.  One apron, pumpkin, and 60 minutes or so later, we had a beautiful pie.  I thought I'd share this recipe with Y'all, just in case you wanted to have me over sometime (Jest kidding!).  Truly though, it tasted like the one my mom made every year when we were kids, but without the eggs, dairy, or gluten.  Here it is:      Vegan Gluten Free Pumkin Pie 2 hours to make, serves 10 from minimalistbaker.com  Crust: 6 Tbls. cold vegan butter (...

      Time has indeed been flying!  Those of you on Faceboo k may have seen a recent update about Ransom turning 6 months old.  He did.  I blinked, and he's 20 lbs., has two teeth (Working on his third!), and almost, almost crawls!  I meant to do a blog update several weeks ago about his crib, but never got around to it.     We (Mostly Joel and Papa Cropsey) built his crib from a basic pattern we found on Pinterest.  Of course, it was altered some in the process, and we made it almost entirely out of two-by-four slats of birch wood.  That thing is solid as a rock!  We made it such that it is easily taken apart and re-assembled, for less transporting issues.  We chose to paint it in a Distressed style, gray being the base color and white for a white-washed-barn effect.  We are incredibly happy with how it turned out!  Also, we are in love with the thought of having an heirloom to pass down to our kids one day....
