Finally Fall?

 

It's officially fall, but I wouldn't have known it unless someone told me because it's basically still summer outside. I always remember September being a fairly warm month but it's definitely been warmer than usual lately.


1. Favorite Thing:  I love how fall smells. And I don't just mean the cinnamon brooms when you walk into the grocery store. Fall just seems to have a certain smell, and I like it.

2. Planning: A day away. I was gone A LOT this summer but mostly not for vacation. I would really love a quiet day away, even if it is just a day.

3. Eating: Popcorn! I often go through phases where I want to eat popcorn every day. Popcorn is good any time of year, but it's always felt especially like a fall food to me. I like to make my popcorn with coconut oil and honey.

4. Drinking: I know it's super cliche, but I'm actually excited for pumpkin spice lattes this year. I'm usually so annoyed by the hype that I'm tired of pumpkin spice everything by the end of September, but this year, I'm ready to join the masses in their love for Pumpkin Spice!

5. Wearing: As of right now, I'm still wearing summer clothes because it's still 90 degrees outside, but I'm looking forward to wearing flannel.

6: Listening to: My Silver Lining and Safe and Sound

7. Enjoying: These last days of summer weather because, as much as I love fall, summer seemed to fly by way too fast.

8. Current Project: I've been wanting to drastically decrease the size of my wardrobe for a while now, but it has proven more difficult to do that I thought it would be. But now, I've decided that it's finally time to be out with the old! For real this time.

9. Hoping for: A future home with a fireplace because that just sounds like the coziest thing ever.

10. Doing: Homework. I'm taking an online class and it's a "do at your own pace" kind of thing, so I procrastinated and now it's a "race against the clock" kind of thing because access expires in November.  Oops.

What are your favorite things about fall?
