It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

I know traditionally that is a Christmas song but I go around singing or humming this often in our house. I absolutely love this time of the year - has to be my favorite and I was thinking over the reasons I like it so much, it all has to do with how it makes me feel - comfy! I have posted a few months back about how we shouldn't be too comfortable but surely this time of year should be the exception. I find myself slowing down and wanting to savor every single moment -fully enjoying each day all the more (which I should do 365) ~ So much to anticipate and enjoy from October 1-January 1! Just love it! Here are a few of my favorite things......

Pumpkins

Crisp, cool mornings

Cuddleduds

Fall colored Peanut M&M's

Preheating our bed at night

Hot chocolate

Baking

Charlie Brown cartoons

Working puzzles

Fall Colors and decorations

Fires in the fireplace

Bon Fires

Hot Apple Cider

Moms homemade noodles on Thanksgiving

College Football

Cards in the mail

Anticipation of Christmas and all that entails~

The list could go on but suffice it to say I just enjoy this time of year and I am grateful to have my family and friends to share it with me!

Happy Fall~

Count me in!!! I love me some fall - the leaves, the smells, the crispness (well, eventually but not lately) in the air! Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite and who can resist fall candles!!!

I ditto that!
Add the smell of people burning leaves.... I LOVE that! And apple crisp baking in the oven. Oh, and the Yankee Spiced Pumpkin candle... gotta get me one of those! :D

Don’t Miss

As the saying goes, we miss 100% of the shots we don't take. Sometimes I find I have to be forced to do things and rarely do I regret it...
