My Three Moms

I have been blessed in this life with three amazing moms.

One Mom I was born to.

 One Mom I married into.


And one Mom was given to me when my born to Mom was too sick to be there and my married to Mom didn't yet know who I was.

 These women are the best women I know. They have been with me through some the most difficult and also the best times in my life. They have made me who I am and for that I'll never be able to show my love for them enough. In my effort though I've designed each of them a quilt. I'll be posting them individually throughout the next couple of months. And to these 3 amazing women in my life, thank you for everything. You were there even when I didn't know I needed you and it was those moments that helped me get through.

The Little Miss Infinity Scarf



Lily is the most girly girl I have ever met. I was always scared that I would end up having a tomboy and I wouldn't know what to do for fun with them, alas it was SO not the case. When I wear earrings Lily wants to wear earrings. Because her ears are not pierced we just loop them over her whole ear and she says, "beautiful". When I wear a Maxi dress Lily has to wear a Maxi dress (remember this). So when I wear an infinity scarf...

You guessed it, Lily has to wear an infinity scarf.


I thought maybe you knew a Little Miss like this too so I decided to make these Little Miss Infinity Scarfs available to all the Little Miss' out there.

Pick from any of these colors available and don't forget that today is the LAST day of the infinity scarf coupon code. Buy 3 or more and get 15% off with the code:

A special thanks to my Little Miss for being such a great little model! I love you my sweet girl!

New for Fall! {For the Ladies}

Fall is officially here and so is my new fall line!! I'll be sharing it with you over the next few days. Stuff for you Ladies, little miss and even the little men out there!

This is one of my favorite fall staples! 


Wear it simply with just a long sleeve tee. Dress it up with a button up or a cute cardigan or add a wonderful accessory to your trench coat. The Infinity Scarf fits all occasions!


It's made of a soft wool blend so its warm without being itchy. I'm kind of a itchy wimp so that is important to me.


This scarf would make the perfect Holiday gift for any woman! Coworker, wife, sister, daughter, you get the idea. 


There are so many colors to choose from so if you aren't a fan of the deep eggplant or rustic orange just let me know and we'll find a color for you!


Look for The Infinity Scarf in my little shop here. Also, if you buy 3 or more you'll get 15% off your order (CODE:infinty15) as a debut discount (available through October 11, 2012) so start your Christmas Shopping early this year and save some mulah!

I would love to know, what are some colors you'd like to see this scarf in?

Pumpkin spice goodness {RECIPE}

Let me share with you my major fall weakness.

Pumpkin Spice

I buy one of these Mainstays Pumpkin Spice candles every time I go to the big "W" store that I sort of despise, but is closer than any other store so I go to anyway. It smells like fall and I burn it all day long.


I wait every year until this beauty is available.


A Pumpkin Spice Frapaccino is my all time favorite drink! Every year for Christmas I ask for a Starbucks gift card and I save it all year long just so I can use it in the fall on this gorgeous goodness.

If the candle and the drink weren't enough how about these beauties?



Thanks to my little doughnut maker (you can also use a doughnut pan if you'd like) we have made these quite often already this season.



You want the recipe don't you. You know you do. Okay you talked me into it. 

Here's what you need:
 1 3/4 Cups Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/3 Cup vegetable oil (or applesauce)
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3/4 Cup Canned pumpkin
1/2 cup milk

for topping:
1/2 Cup melted butter
1 Cup Sugar
2-3 teaspoons Cinnamon

In a medium sized mixing bowl mix flour baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Set this bowl aside.

In a large bowl whisk together oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, milk and pumpkin. Mix together until it is all well combined. Slowly add the flour mixture and stir just until combined, don't over mix or your doughnuts will be kind of tough.


Spoon the batter into a gallon size storage bag and snip off the corner. fill each doughnut spot and close the lid. bake about 4 minutes or until the done light turns on. :) If you are using a doughnut pan be sure to grease it well, fill the doughnuts spots and bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes.


Once doughnuts are complete allow them to cool on a wire rack. While they are cooling melt butter. once cool dip in butter and then in cinnamon-sugar mixture. 

Eat them while they are warm! They are the best that way. If you want to keep them warm for a while stick them in your oven on the lowest temp possible. I did this until my husband got home and they tasted like I had just finished dipping them.

They are just as good as they look. Better even!!


I linked up to this fun new blog I found! Can't wait to try her recipe too!
