Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts

Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts – Delicious homemade baked doughnuts that are full of pumpkin flavor and topped with a sweet pumpkin maple glaze.

We survived Hurricane Irma!

In the last post that I shared with you, I mentioned that we were bracing ourselves here in Florida to see which direction the system would ultimately end up.

I was a bundle of nerves watching the news while simultaneously going through my preparation list in my head. Did I buy enough water? Should I evacuate my area? If the worst happens, am I prepared?

At some point, I abandoned the entire mental checklist, turned off the news, and decided that I am not in control here. Even being the most prepared person in the world may not make any difference at all.

I imagine some of the people in Houston probably felt the same way except the outcome is much different between the two situations. Harvey made landfall as a category 4. By the time Irma landed in my area she was downgraded to a tropical storm.

If you have ever spent any amount of time in Florida, then you probably already know that storms are a regular occurrence and just as fast and torrential as they appear, in a few minutes they will pass to make way for the return of the sunshine and thick humidity.

At any rate, we were lucky to have no damage, never lost power during the storm, and being without internet for a day or two is the only complaint that I could have and that is definitely nothing to complain about at all. Things had to be re-scheduled, the kids had a few extra days out of school, and a few activities postponed. Through it all…I am thankful to have little to complain about.

Now…
