What a year! In 2025, we became a family of five! I also wrote and published a book, baked a whole bunch, and continued to homeschool Sadie. In between it all, we traveled a little, worked on potty training Mordecai, dealt with Dakota’s hemangioma and constant ear infections, and simply lived life!

When the leaves start to change color and the mornings get that distinct chill, I start dreaming about fall baking. There’s just something about the scent of pumpkin, maple, and apple that make the house feel warm and cozy.

These are the desserts from my personal recipe collection that I can’t stop baking all season long. And just because I like to be a little “extra” I tucked in a few bonus fall-ish recipes at the end of this post—perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack!
