40+ weeks and all the old wives’ tales

Apple Spice Amazeballs
This is for all of the friends out there who are pumpkin-ed out. It’s also one of those things where I just put a bunch of ingredients in the food chopper, said a prayer, and hoped it would work out. Thankfully, it did, and they are DELICIOUS.

Family: Weeks 37-39… and into Week 40
and feeling… nervous/ready/excited/let’s do this. Random thoughts/things that I’ve noticed: -The funk that I was in from weeks 37-38.
