Pumpkin Latte

Pumpkin Latte

I love this time of year!  

With the new season, I love reflecting on the provision God has provided during the planting and growing months, and in return reaping the harvest of our hard work.  With all that entails, I am grateful for the slower pace that Autumn brings.  

If you are like me, you love the warmth of a pumpkin latte during these crisp, cool months.  With leaves turning colors of burnt orange, golden yellow, and deep red, the night drawing in and fires being lit, Autumn is the perfect time to settle down with your family with lattes in hand.
