Pumpkin Spice Latte

This recipe is GOLDEN!  I love pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks and when I watched Good Morning America one morning, I saw Stephanie O'Dea on there showing off a bunch of slow cooker recipes and this was one of them!  It is a crowd favorite.  This recipe serves 2, but you can quadruple it.  And when I do that, I actually put the maximum amount of milk of 5 cups and then put as much coffee as I want.  It is delicious!!  Give it a try!

Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  Adam and I went to Charleston, SC this past weekend to get away.  My mom flew into town and watched the girls while we were gone.  She did a great job.  The girls had a blast, my house was clean, and all is well!  My dad flies in tomorrow to hang out the rest of the week and so I may be absent again as I enjoy my time with them.  :)

YAY!  Gram is here!  We climbed all over her suitcase!

Aubrie got excited about the presents Gram brought!

Beautiful Charleston!

One of the beautiful house.  I love the piazzas. 

We had such a good time.  I can't wait to share a couple of things with you.  We ate at wonderful restaurants and we got a lot of sleep!!!!  :)  I really laid in bed a lot.  I loved it.  We even tried raw oysters!  I'll be sure to share more later.  For now, off to bed for a busy Wednesday tomorrow. 

Love to all!!
