Falling for Fall

The older I get, the more I love fall.

At the height of summer, I dread the end of summer and the start of fall. But at some point during the month of August, my mind begins to accept the inevitable, and I start looking forward to the next season, decorating the inside of our home, and the sense of routine that fall brings. Slowly, I begin pulling out the old fall décor and looking at new and upcoming fall trends. I love changing décor in our home according to the seasons. Fall brings pumpkins, dried flowers, and candles into our home. I think these small changes can bring a sense of warm and cozy, which helps me come back inside after the busy outdoor months of summer.

I compiled a list of all the things I love about fall, clearly I love all things food and holidays!
