    6. Raking leaves: Love it or make DH do it? Don't have to do it, either of us. Since we rent a townhouse our landlord has someone come do it. =]

    7. What is a fall ritual your family has? Last year we went to the pumpkin patch, and I think we will probably do it again this year. The kids loved it (it was their first time last year including Ryder's), and we always have football parties. I make food and everyone comes over.

    8. Favorite fall fashion trend? Scarfs, I honestly can't get enough. And boots!

    9. Favorite fall drink? Caramel Apple Cider

    10. What is your least favorite thing about fall? Constant rain. Granted I grew up here, but it messes up my hair lol.

    BONUS: Muffins sound fall-ish. What kind should Jenn bake? (And no, not for herself; she's still on South Beach.)

    I don't have a muffin recipe, but I do have a great SB friendly recipe I made last night =] DH and I are doing South Beach now, just started week 2 of Phase 1 and needed a sweet fix. It's cheesecake cupcakes made with fat free cream cheese, fat free sour cream, and splenda. So yummy, craves the sweet tooth, and like I said SB friendly. =] Let me know if you want the recipe it's really easy! I found it on all recipes.com. Just search for cheesecake cupcakes or gluten free cupcakes.
