I love fall!

I love the smells, tastes, and views that fall brings!  Of course, my beloved summer will always be my number one season, but fall is a close runner-up.  I have a lot of fall decorations that I put out last week and I'm looking forward to picking up a few more at a fall craft festival that I'm going to next weekend.  

This evening, I lit a candle of my favorite fall scent, Pumpkin Brulee, and made a batch of Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip muffins.  Our house smells delectable! 

This week at school, we are doing an apple theme.  Monday is apple taste-testing of red, yellow, and green apples.  Tuesday is a taste-test of apple products, including apple sauce, apple chips, apple jelly, and apple cider.  And then on Friday, we are making apple sauce.  In a couple of weeks, we take our first field trip to a pumpkin patch.  How fun is fall in kindergarten!  I can't wait!

Fall is in the air!

It's beginning to look a lot like fall around here!


Next to Christmas, fall is my favorite times of year to decorate the house.  I have a lot of fall decorations, most of which are still in the attic in an orange tote (orange=fall decorations, red= Christmas decorations...yes, I color coordinate my storage containers).  I'm hoping Kurt will get them down for me this weekend so I can continue fall-ifying our house.


Here is a sneak peek at my decorations.  I got some new pumpkin candles (which I won't light) and leaf garland at the Pottery Barn outlet, so they are decorating our family room entertainment center.  I had real pumpkins here last year, but they started to rot and became gross, so I'm hoping the candles work well.  I cut up a coffee filter to put under them, so they don't leave any waxy residue on the furniture.

Ahh, I love fall!
