Mini Pumpkin Muffin Recipe!

Today officially marks the first day of Fall and I could not  be happier! When I left for college last year, I decided to make a tradition that on the first day of Fall every year I will make something with pumpkin in it. To kick off Fall this year I decided to make Pumpkin Muffins. The recipe is the easiet thing, it just consists of three ingredients. They are also not bad for you! My mom calls them "skinny girl pumpkin muffins"! So if you are looking for an easy and cheap recipe for something containing pumpkin here ya go:

What you need:

              • Mini Muffin Pan (nonstick)
              • Scooper (optional)
              • 1 Box Spice Cake mix
              • 1 Can Pumpkin
              • 1 Cup Chocolate chips

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 325!

Step 2:
Mix all of the ingredients into a medium 
sized bowl.

Step 3:
 If your pan is not nonstick spray with Pam 
first. Scoop the mix into the muffin tin. If you 
do not have a scoop just use a spoon to spoon it 
in. I just find it easier to use a scooper.

Step 4:
Place in the oven and bake for 20minutes or
until firm to touch!

Step 5:
Take out of the oven, let them cool off
for about 20mins or so and then you can eat!
ENJOY!

Fall Wreath!

Tomorrow marks the first day of my favorite season, Fall! Although, lately I feel like I have been living under a rock. All I have done in this past month is go to school and work. So I took a break from both this weekend too enjoy getting ready for my favorite season and got crafty. I have seen so many burlap wreaths on Pinterest, so I felt inspired. I made my own fall wreath and thought I would provide y'all with the DIY! I purchased all the materials from Hobby Lobby for under $10! This can be made in two easy steps.

Materials:
              • 3 things of 4inch ribbon
              • wire wreath template
              • burlap flower


Step One:
Weave the ribbon through the wreath template. There
is no real way to do it, just weave in and out. Twist the 
ribbon around so that is makes loops similar to the picture 
below. Just continue to do this to the rest of the wreath!

Step Two:
Add the flower to the wreath. The one I got had a
magnet that helped it to attach & un-attach to things
easily. A WA-LA you're done!

I am pretty happy with how it turned out! Have you seen any Pinterest inspired wreaths that you want to make? Or seen similar wreaths? If so, comment and let me know!
