Fall Favorites

Every year I make a list of things I want to do during the different seasons. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Lots of reasons-its cooler; which means you can dress in layers and still be comfortable. Its also not so blistering hot where you dont want to go outside and do anything.

Here is my list of MUSTS for fall.

1. Go to Uncle Johns Cider Mill and Pumpkin Patch. They have the best of the bests. Ginormous pumpkin patch, acres of apple trees, petting zoo, caramel apples, bake shop, kid corn maze, and so much more! I cant wait to go this fall and maybe even take a few friends.

2. A fall picnic is an absolute! With the changing of the leaves and crisp air, its beautiful.

3. Hiking through the Marsch. With all the trees and and wild life changing for the season its 1) absolutely beautiful and 2) its cold enough for all the ticks bugs to be dead.

4. I would also like to get Fall family pictures taken with my sexy husband. Like I have said before, i love the color scheme. I also have a photographer in mind to do my pictures this year. Modern Belle Photography does amazing work. I have been following her work for years. I can't wait to see what ideas we can come up with for our family photos.

5. Decorate! Decorate! Decorate! Guess what I want to do??? Decorate! My Pinterest is over flowing with ideas for this fall.

6. DIY. I have a few crafty ideas, that i would like to attempt. I am not super crafty but I really wish i was. So this is me starting my crafty journey.
I want to try this. I love cinnamon!                          easy idea for front porch

7. Along with some decorating and craft ideas, whats the fall without some delicious treats. I have a few recipes that I am dying to try.

Apple cider cups.  This looks delicious and cheap.  Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes

These apple cups would be perfect for our picnic and the little pumpkin pie cheesecakes?? Thanksgiving contribution!

8. All Hallows Eve! This is the first year, that my hubby and I will be attempting to dress up. We were invited to a Halloween party last year and didn't dress up. I know, shame on us. My husband isn't one for dressing up, unless its a really good costume or I beg starting in January. I don't want to spend lots of $$ on a costume so I think I am going to attempt homemade. yikes!

So far my ideas include, thanks to pinterest,- minions, soap and loufa, and milkman and housewife.

9. The clothes!! Leggings, tights, boots, over-sized chunky sweaters and scarves!! I have been stocking up on leggings since July. Our weather here is teasing me. Last week it was all in the 60's now, it is in the high 70's. Then back down to 60's next week. What??????? Hopefully it stays cooler..


I'm sure this list will grow as the colder weather comes, but I think this is a good starting off point. As for now, I can't wait to get started!
