Falling For Fall:
It's that time of year already! Many coffee shops, including Starbucks, are releasing their seasonal fall drink menu that seduces you for the warm and cozy colorful brinks of fall. Who doesn't want to curl up in a blanket with a warm chai latte, a pumpkin spice latte, or an apple cider? The holidays are the perfect time to wind down and to slow down. It's time to treat yourself to something kind and sweet as we inch closer to the end of the year. Nothing warms your soul more than a warm latte and pumpkin cake. I think we're 'falling' for fall. How about you? Cozy up with us and our favorite fall drinks and desserts!
