Fall Home Tour - Highland House 2018 Welcome to my Fall Home Tour of the Highland House!!

I've been excited to share this fall home tour of the Highland house! I hope you'll find inspiration here on how you can decorate your own home! I haven't always had a nice home and I'm a big believer in creating beauty no matter what your home looks like. Whether it was the apartments I managed and lived in (with 3 kids) while my husband was in dental school or the Army housing we were assigned, I always tried to create a beautiful home with what limited money and resources I had at the time.

It just takes some creativity and some DIY to add some beauty to your home. One of the reasons I started sharing photos of my home was to create inspiration on how to make a house feel like a home. Creating warmth in my home has always been something I've enjoyed doing. I hope you'll feel the warmth too! I tend to

This is a simple recipe for making your own Pumpkin Pie Spice. I use this pumpkin pie spice recipe in my pumpkin pie, pumpkin cream cheese muffins, pumpkin roll, and any recipe that calls for pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie spice. At times, I've had a difficult time finding it in the grocery store and it is quite expensive for a small amount. You can make a batch of your own and store it in a spice container or small mason jar. Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins

Every fall I get the urge to start baking and the first thing that comes to mind is a recipe with pumpkin in it. One of my favorites are these yummy pumpkin cream cheese swirl muffins. I have played with different recipes over the years and like always, I find a few good ones and then I tweak them to make it my own! These Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins are so yummy and the only downside of this recipe is that you can't eat just one!

The first time I made these, this was all I ate for two days! I couldn't stop myself! These muffins remind me of a pumpkin roll with cream cheese frosting. I hope you enjoy these as much as my family and I do!

These muffins are so moist and not overly sweet. The cream cheese bakes right into the muffin! This is a simple recipe
