Since it’s officially fall on the calendar, and it’s October 1st and all, I am sharing my top ten things I love about fall!
#1: Leggings become pants.
I love love love to wear leggings. You can dress them up, or dress them down, lots of different ways to wear them for sure. You can wear them with gym shoes, boots, clogs, whatever. I hate wearing dress pants, I hate wearing jeans. I wish I could wear leggings all winter, and shorts all summer, that is my favorite to wear, along with a t-shirt and a comfy sweatshirt.
#2: Football Season.
It’s really hard being a Cincinnati Bengals fan, but I do enjoy watching the games every weekend. Some years we are okay, some and most years, we are not. I still love it though!
#3: Pumpkin Patch.
Going to the pumpkin patch is always fun watching the kids find the best pumpkin that they can carry home!
#4: Pumpkin Carving.
After the kids pick out their pumpkins, then we carve them! Hadley likes to create a fun face to carve out, but hates scraping the guts out. Huxley doesn’t really remember carving a pumpkin yet, but for sure will this year.
#5: Halloween.
Dressing the kids up in their costumes, getting their candy bags out of the storage room in the basement, taking pictures on the front porch, and walking around the neighborhood. Some years we end up sitting in a neighbor’s driveway just chilling and talking.
#6: Chai Tea Lattes.
I can drink a chai tea all year long, but something about drinking them in the fall / winter seasons is something different. I recently shared my 5 fall drinks, and would love to try some of the chai’s on that post.
#7: Seasonal Candles.
Any spicy, cinnamon, maybe a little pumpkin smelling candle always reminds me of fall! I recently found one at Target called Almond Croissant Candle, it’s in my candle warmer at work and smells amazing!
#8: Comfy Jammies.
I have this favorite pair of jammie pants that I have had for years, they are too big, they might have a small hole in one area, and have polar bears all over them, but they are my favorite jammie pants to wear when it gets cold outside!
#9: Thanksgiving Dinner.
The last few years, we have hosted Thanksgiving dinner for my side of the family. It’s fun and I enjoy it so much! We get two turkeys, Hadley usually names them both, and Kevin smokes one, and fries one. I personally like the fried turkey best!
#10: Christmas Is Coming.
The start of Fall means that Christmas is just around the corner. I have always loved Christmas, but since having kids, I love Christmas even more! I love making the holidays special for them, whether it be doing the Elf on the Shelf, having a Christmas Bucket List, sending out Christmas cards, watching the same movies over and over, and figuring out what to get for the kids from Santa and Kevin and I! I love Christmas time!
What are you favorite things about fall?
What fantastic things to love about the season.
I love wearing leggings and have some smart pairs which I wear under dresses, they just look like thick tights!
My girls always say they’re too old for pumpkin fun but last year got annoyed that they didn’t have pumpkins to carve. This year I will get them one each.
I have pj’s which are older than my girls and they are my favourites, the more worn the better they feel.
