Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

pumpkin-spice-frapp-2

For me, pumpkin = Autumn.  I realize this may very well be the logic of a grade schooler but I can’t help it.  The smell and sight of these full bellied squash makes me think of everything from the sweets of Halloween to the pies of Thanksgiving {my absolute favorite holiday}!  I hear September 3rd is when Starbucks is officially releasing their pumpkin spice, but why wait?  C’mon in and I’ll show you how to make one {in your jammies if you prefer}!
