Fall

Favorite Moments Lately

Jimmy tagging along with me while I went to a pet sitting job and him playing “Who Let the Dogs Out” by Baha Men.

Feeling excited for all things fall. The decorating, pumpkin flavored food, and changing leaves.

Snuggling with Lola.

What have been some of your favorite moments lately?

Fall Decorating

What do you do on a Saturday during Labor Day weekend when your husband goes mountain biking for the day?

Decorate your house for fall! Even if it’s close to 90°F and fall isn’t technically until the end of September ;). I found myself with a free Saturday afternoon(!), so I decided to get in the fall spirit by pulling out last year’s decorations and making a quick trip to the craft store for a few new ones.

I found some birch vases at the store, so I bought one and filled it with some fake flowers to make my own little floral arrangement, somewhat similar to the wreath project my mom and I did a few years back!

I also picked up some wooden decorations to paint, which was fun. I don’t like how the leaf turned out because I think I used too many colors, but I do like the turkey! Jimmy was home at that point and saw my camera laying on the table so he decided to take a picture of me in my happy zone.

I tried to adorn more rooms this year to spread the festivity around the whole house instead of just our living room. Our house is pretty small, but I still feel like I could add more ;). I guess I just like crafting and decorating! I’m glad I decorated earlier this year (versus late October last year, ha), so I can actually enjoy all of the decorations before the season ends!

Do you decorate for the seasons? How far in advance do you start?
