“We need enormous pockets, pockets big enough for our families and our friends, and even the people who aren't on our lists, people we've never met but still want to protect. We need pockets for boroughs and for cities, a pocket that could hold the universe.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
I just found out that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, one of my most favorite books ever is being made into a movie! Which I am alway excited to see my favorite stories in another form, even though I alway come away saying not as good as the book. But after watching this preview I am pretty stoked, it looks like it is going to be a goodie AND that it comes out in December, how am I just finding out about this!?

Pumpkin Pancakes & Buttermilk Syrup
HELLO OCTOBER, I am oh so happy to see you!!! I am welcoming fall and anything related to it with open arms! Really fall is such a fabulous time of the year!
So... I tried a new recipe this Sunday morning and the second time around it worked and it was amazing! My grandma Potter's Pumpkin Waffles & Buttermilk Syrup, this is deff going to be our new October General Conference tradition. How great was General Conference btw? Seriously some amazing talks that really touched my heart. Can't wait to read them! So back to these pancakes... they are heavenly, I was in a bit of a food coma yesterday because of them. Yes the title of this post is pumpkin pancakes and the recipe is for waffles, we had to modify the recipe into pancakes because our waffle iron was giving us a hard time.
