Make Your Own Autumn Trail Mix 2019

Hi there! I have been making an autumn trail mix for probably 15 years—every single autumn it’s a thing I love to do! This year, I shared it on Instagram and got approximately 1,000 messages (haha—I am serious though, it was a lot) asking me to repost the “recipe.” If I’ve learned ANYTHING in my 12 years of blogging it’s that the things you expect to catch on hardly do, and the things you don’t expect can become a big deal.

Well, I didn’t expect a huge amount of interest in my homemade trail mix, but here I am making an “official” blog post. Gotta give the people what they want—haha!

Seriously, though, this is SO fun and super simple! There are a couple elements here that are tastier if you bake them (I will note below), but it can also be as simple as just buying a bunch of elements and mixing them up in a big jar together!

Needed:
Granola
Cheez-Its (They are even better if you toss them in a bit of melted butter then bake them until they are golden brown!)
Candy Corn
Reese’s Pieces
Pumpkin Seeds (again, much tastier if you bake them yourself, but store bought works too)
Nuts (any kind you like—I love macadamia nuts)
Rye Chips
*Anything else you love in a snack mix. I usually add sesame sticks but didn’t have any the day we took these photos. You can also add dried fruit like banana chips. Customize it with things you love!

Then just mix it together in a large bowl and store in a large jar for sharing!

I pack a little bit of this mix in my daughter’s lunch almost every day. I hope this sparks a fun new tradition for you as well!!
xx- Elsie

These Benches Provide More Than Just a Place to Sit

Short, long, wooden, metal, upholstered or padded — benches come in an endless array of styles and materials. It’s a good thing too because a stylish bench can add a bit of flair and a lot of convenience to any room in the house. Historical sources say that benches were a common type of simple seat in the era when only the most important people actually got to sit in a chair. Today, this humble piece of furniture has evolved from a second-class seat to a very functional element that can also be very stylish. Without a doubt, there’s a bench that fits the decor and size of your room, so check out these beautiful options.

The Wonderful Influence Of Corten Steel In Architecture

Weathering steel often referred to as corten steel, is a group of alloys developed to have a rust-like appearance, as if they’ve been exposed to the weather and the elements for several years. This eliminates the need for painting and makes this a very convenient material. At the same time, its appearance has an industrial vibe which many architects have learned to take advantage of in all sorts of ingenious and interesting ways. Through the examples that follow we’re going to approach the unique relationship between corten steel and architecture. Let’s have a look at them together.
