Happy Fall

LABOR DAY WEEKEND; noun.
The end of the long hot summer and the beginning of the much anticipated, cold, favorite season of many, FALL.

IT'S OFFICIALLY HERE! 
Fall. Fall. Fall.

Football has officially kicked off, pumpkin spice latte is officially at Starbucks, apple orchards and pumpkin farms are open, new fall scented candles and decorations are placed around the house and rainy, cold sweatshirt-blanket-fuzzysock weather has begun! I am SO excited!

Why FALL is my FAVORITE season?

1. Candles, OMG. I am obsessed with every fall candle scent Yankee Candle and Bath&Body Works has. Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from Bath & Body works is my new fav next to my all time fav from Yankee, Macintosh. MMMMM-Delish.
 
2. Cappuccino's, Latte's and Hazelnut flavored coffee. There is something sweet about waking up in the morning and having a hot, spicy pumpkin latte or hazelnut dark roast. I am so in love. Although, it's not the best thing for this new diet we are trying before the wedding but, it's something neither one of us can give up. TODIEFOR.

3. Cute clothes. YES! Finally, jeans, sweatshirts, boots, coats, scarves, hats, mittens... Okay, I may be getting too far ahead of myself here. But, Pinterest knows me all too well when my favorites is filled up with cute clothing options to add to my wardrobe for this fall season. Now only if my bank account would catch the drift.

4. Cuddling. I am so obsessed with grabbing the fuzziest blanket in the house, cuddling on the couch with some popcorn and a coffee and watching movies. I am sitting on the couch as I type this with sweats and a baggy t-shirt, the windows open and a cool breeze blowing while my fiancé anxiously waits for the computer... because I am hogging it, like always... ha. I love it!

5. FOOTBALL. Yes, I am THAT girl. I always am, aren't I? Hmm... Well, I am THAT girl that LOVES football season but hasn't a damn clue what's going on during the game. Although, I try. I like to think that my dad taught me a lot something throughout the years. I love wearing Michigan and Lions apparel, grabbing a cold Coors and watching the game with family and friends on the weekends. It's my MOST favorite time during the Fall season.

6. Pumpkin Farms and Apple Orchards. My favorite memory as a child is going to the pumpkin farm with my mom and dad. My mom and dad would walk with my brother and I out into the field and we would pile the pumpkins in my dads arms! All you could carry flat rate$ HECK YES! I would pick out the pumpkins with the cutest curly stems and fat round little bodies, and Ty would pick out the most ginormous pumpkins they had in the patch even if they were green and muddy. We would always end the day with warm apple cider and fresh donuts. Those times were some of the best memories of my childhood. To this day I love going to the orchards and pumpkin farms with my family. We sit around having warm apple cider and fresh donut flubs, my moms favorite, and talk about family.

7. HALLOWEEN. It's coming, soon! Fall means that Halloween is right around the corner and I can't wait! Lennon is going to go trick-or-treating this year for a little bit and I still have to find her a costume, but nonetheless she will be cute!

8. Leaves. Silly, right but I love leaves. The colors are beautiful and when I was an artist I would love painting with fall colors that matched the leaves on the trees and colors in the night sky. Autumn is a beautiful time of the year!

9. Scarves. I own quite a few scarves but you seriously can never have too many! They go with EVERYTHING! Brown, black, green, stripes, polka dots, you name it... I got it. I am slightly more obsessed with scarves than... well ... everything!

10. Fall arriving means that my wedding is FAST approaching. 3 more months, friends! I know I shouldn't be in panic mode but I am. We have SO much left to pay for, to DIY and to plan but... ONEDAYATATIME,KAILA. I remember to breathe and that it's all on Etsy and I am okay.

11. Had to sneak this one in... HOMELAND SEASON 3 starts soon! YES. If you haven't watched that show yet, you need to. Dan and I are OBSESSED. I think obsessed is an understatement.

Okay, Happy Fall friends!
