Now, I am not a huge thin pancake fan, as an American I tend to go for more fluffy ones. But, My Old Dutch Pancake House has these massive, crepe-like pancakes that can come with a ton of different toppings! When hanging out with a friend of mine in London, we decided to try it out.

Andy Williams was right. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Nothing beats watching excited kids open their presents in the morning, spending quality time with your loved ones, and going back for another helping of pavlova, even though you’ve already had two!

This is a massive farm that has a lot of fun photo points, many of the traditional pumpkin farm classic events, and a bunch of works of art made of pumpkins!
September was a very busy month, between Dann’s birthday, a bit of travel, a road trip and work – there was just a lot going on! I very much enjoyed September – back to school time as well was a little chaotic, but now that we are at the end of it, it feels like we have a lot of routines we are back to. I wrote about each day as a part of Project 365. Some bloggers posted daily, some weekly, and some monthly like me. You can check them out at the bottom of this post.
