Hello, friends! I've just been pulling some fall out around here. There are few things I love doing more on a Saturday evening than pulling out autumn decor and styling the shelves while my boys are watching a college football game ( I will stop and watch if it gets exciting), a fall candle is burning, and a loaf of pumpkin bread is in the kitchen. Now mind you I didn't make the pumpkin bread -- my daughter's friend makes it every fall for a fundraiser but this is the recipe she makes and it is perfection. ♥
So here are some pics of fall around here. I'm doing an experiment -- I took these all with my phone and I'm going to see how they look on the blog. I can't believe how good the phone cameras are getting! For the porch, I didn't feel like bringing out Halloween yet so I just stuck with something more like my traditional Thanksgiving porch. I may skip straight from a Halloween porch to Christmas this year, we'll see how I'm feeling! I do have to follow-up -- when I shared some fall favorites last week I talked about the Autumn Hayride and Kohl's and I ordered some more of the wax cubes. They came this morning and I don't know if it's a bad batch but they do NOT smell like the other ones I got at the beginning of the season. I am returning these ones, they have a strong almost coffee-like smell. Just a heads up on that if they don't smell right.
And as always, thanks for stopping by -- happy fall!

Hello! I struggle with a title for these posts when they are just random thoughts thrown together but have really good things I want to share! Thus: Random, good things. Let's begin with this cozy fall house. I searched for a source on this and it just came up Pinterest but I love it!
And then, fall candles. If any seasons need a scent, don't you think it is Autumn and Christmas?
A few years ago Glade had a scent called Fall Hayride in the warmers and candle melts that I LOVED and should have bought them out because they discontinued it and now sell for crazy prices. WELL -- Kohl's has a scent that is almost identical (maybe it is the exact scent?) called Autumn Hayride. I was so excited and my sister in law Natalie actually went and bought her store out for me because I discovered it at the end of the season last year. I love the scent but the bummer is that I can barely smell the candles! I wish they were stronger -- the wax melts are much better. Someone please make this scent in a strong, long lasting candle?
But never fear -- my favorite Bath & Body Work candle is Cinnamon Bark. Sooooo good. Cinnamon and vanilla with a bit of cedar. I read a review that sums it up: "Imagine walking on a wonderfully brisk Autumn evening. Your neighbor is baking pumpkin cookies so there is a hint of cinnamon. Your other neighbor has their fireplace lit. All of this combined to give you a sense of peace and excitement for Autumn to finally have arrived." Just don't pay full price -- they are always going on sale.
And podcasts! Here are some episodes I've loved:
* Body Positivity with Ashley Reeves on Mint Arrow Messages
* Why Our Souls Crave Connection with Brooke Romney on All In Podcast -- this is my all-time favorite podcast ♥ I have loved every one.
* Successful Parenting with Jody Moore
And I loved this ^^ meal planning graphic from Brooke Romney just to get ideas for dinner! She also explains how she uses it for her meal planning. I used to just scribble dinners down for the week and keeping them in a drawer but now I quickly type my dinners for the week up on a Google Spreadsheet and have a different tab for each month. It saves it for me and I have it for the next month to draw from and now am coming up to the next year so my meals are already planned out for the month or at least give me a great start.
Just some good things I wanted to share! Happy Wednesday to you all.

Hello! I am ready to begin to bring out fall even though we are still in the 90's!! We're supposed to cool down next week though so bring it! This is probably the easiest wreath I've ever done -- here is what you do:
1. Keep the same wreath up from summer (this is one from Hearth & Hand and it looks like they are out but this is really similar)
2. Tuck some white pumpkins in from Hobby Lobby here and there
3. Hang with a buffalo check ribbon (mine is a 3" one that was actually Christmas garland from Dillard's clearance last year) I'm pretty sure this is the exact ribbon -- it's fuzzy on one side and plain on the other.
4. That's it!
ALSO: As I was out and about I saw this bat wreath at Pottery Barn
and then I saw these glitter bats at the Dollar Tree
and thought of this wreath I have above my tub in the bathroom.
You see where I'm going with this?
Aw yeah...
More to come :)
