When sweater weather comes knocking, there are a few things I do more than anything else:

- Spend all of my possible time outside.
- Drink all the lattes!!
While many coffee shops have started offering a variety of non-dairy milk options for their beverages, there is nothing better than making my own latte at home and sipping it out on our patio.
