Pumpkin Snickerdoodles - Running Around With Lindsey

Hi Guys!

I haven’t forgotten about you!! I hope that you can forgive the long pause between posts.

I will definitely be posting a “catch up” post but for now I figured we should celebrate the start of October.

Time is so crazy and feels like it is flying by so fast. I do love Fall and the transition into cooler-ish weather (it’s Arizona…lol) but we are no on the official countdown to Halloween, My Birthday, Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!

To start this month of right, I thought I should share with you one of my favorite cookie recipes for fall, Pumpkin Snickerdoodles.

This recipe was a test recipe for my sister’s company that I came up with and tweaked till it was just right. If you are in Arizona and don’t feel like baking, my sister runs an amazing online bakery and will happily bake you a dozen (or more). www.cierrasbakeshoppe.com

I came across a fun photo challenge while scrolling through Instagram the other night. It is the #FallitoDisneyStyle October Photo Challenge.

For today the challenge is- Disney Parks Halloween Decor. This picture is of one of my favorite decorations in Disneyland.
