Friday Favorites: Apple Inspiration

Happy Friday!! This Friday is especially fun for us because it marks the start of our Fall Breaks! A whole week off without our alarms, carpooling from activity to activity, and copious amounts of homework and projects. Throw in a vacation or two and you have some very excited Magnolia Mamas!

The fact that it is already Fall Break reminds us that fall is here and we can begin celebrating some of our favorite activities, and begin our favorite season to decorate. We know pumpkins are only a few weeks away, but we would be remiss if we didn't pay homage to our first fall love - the apple! Today for Friday Favorites we are going to share some love for this crisp delicious fall treat.

First a little kid style. From theme wear (and you know we love theme wear) to fun games and baby accessories - the apple is everywhere!

2. Vtech Apple Alphabet Refresh

3. Hatley Green Apple Tunic (side note: it has cute tassels at the bottom!)

4. Sage Baby Girl Apple Smocked Dress & Bloomers

5. Chicco Natural Fit Fruity Apple Teether

Next check out these yummy recipes I found on Pinterest. I might have to pop over to the grocery store later and start a little baking. YUM!

1. Apple Pie Bars by Love Grows Wild

2. Slow Cooker Apple Butter by My Frugal Adventures (a crockpot! wahoo!)

3. Crispy Healthy Baked Apple Chips by Sally's Baking Addiction 

4. Apple Cider Donuts by Sally's Baking Addiction 

5. Easy Apple Pie Bites by The Blond Cook

I feel a little bit like like I could be Sally's friend. Hi, Sally! Do you need a taste tester?

And my favorite part of the season...apple picking! We loved our trip to the u-pick farm we visited last year, and can't wait to go back. I can already smell all the baked goods waiting for me!

I found this awesome list online by pickyourown.org that shares Apple Festivals and u-pick farms available for apple season for every state, Canada and a few other countries as well. It's such a great list that if you want to frolic in the apple orchards yourself this fall you simply search by your location and print out all the information they've compiled for you. 

Yay for apples! Do you celebrate apples in the fall?

P.S. - Our super cute blogger friend Mainely Mama shared this awesome apple themed boy shirt with us after she saw the list.  How adorable is it?!? It was too cute not to share. Cute might need this.
