When asked to describe my perfect Autumn day, it would start by waking up mid-morning and making my way into the kitchen to warm up a soothing cup of tea. I would turn on my Autumn playlist to dance to - not very well might I add...but I try - while cooking a sweet weekend brunch.

Every year for my birthday, since the age of two years old, my grandma would bake her apple pie for me to celebrate my birthday with.
