We spent our Saturday at the Roba Family Orchard, we enjoyed walking through the orchard and picked some delicious apples. Afterwards, the kids enjoyed going through the corn maze, played rubber duckie races, jumped on the big pumpkin bounce, went riding on the cow train and spent lots of time playing in the corn box! Finally, we stopped by Roba Family Farms to pick some pumpkins to bring home too. Take a look:
1. Coconut Beach Coconut Chips are super crunchy, tasty and just sweet enough for me. It's 100% perfect natural with only 3 ingredients; coconut, sugar and salt. Perfect little sweet snack! These can be purchase in most supermarkets, but I purchased these for $1 at Dollar Tree.
2. I always eat Silk Dairy-Free Yogurts for breakfast or as an afternoon snack during break at work. I love the rich creamy and smooth texture mixed with fruit. My favorite flavor is the peach mango!
3. I love a good dark chocolate and Green&Black's Organic 85% Dark Chocolate is simply the best! I love the pure and intense taste of cacao and its bitterness, it's really well balanced.
4. I recently tried Mamma Chia and I'm completely obsessed! It's refreshing, delicious and amazing. Mamma Chia combines perfectly organic fruit juices with chia seeds. I purchased some bottles for $1.98 each at my local Walmart.
5. Brianna's Rich Poppy Seed Dressing tagline says "makes anything it touches instantly delicious", that's so true! I've been buying this poppy seed dressing ever since trying about a year ago and to me is the best salad dressing, it's perfect with everything.
6. Just Mayo is the best mayo in the market right now. I love to put it in my sandwiches and pasta salads and I also love the fact that has different flavors of mayo too, such as; sriracha, chipotle and garlic.

A few weekends ago, we celebrated Sophia's and Ian's birthdays in our backyard with a sweet party for them. We decided to do a joined party in the Summer for the kids and they loved the idea! The theme was Up, Up and Away, with lots of hot air balloons, pinwheels and flowers. Take a look:
All the sweets and marshmallow pops were homemade and the beautiful cake was made by a friend of mine, everything incredibly delicious.
The printables are from MayDetails Etsy Shop.
I can't believe my beautiful girl turned 7, she's growing up too fast!
And my sweet boy turned 5 and just started kindergarten.
Happy Birthday, my cutie pies!
