Why Fall is My Favorite

A couple days ago, my wonderful husband came home from work with these beauties in hand.

He knows ho much I LOVE fall and decided I needed some "fall flowers." The colors are beautiful!

Here are the top 5 reasons why fall is my favorite:

5. Pumpkin spice latte. I’ll drink the occasional cup of joe, but I could live without it. But when it comes to Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte, I seriously have to limit myself! It is just. so. good.

4. The smells. There really isn’t a scent of fall that I don’t like. From apple cider to pumpkin or cinnamon candles to campfires and hay bales—they all just have a way of making me feel good inside! I can’t wait to pull out my fall candles and do some fall baking to fill our home with these wonderful smells.

3. The leaves. There is just something about the beautiful way they change colors that has always left me speechless. Nature shouts of how majestic our Lord is, and I feel one of the best times for me to truly see that is when I stop and look at the gorgeous colors of fall. As a bonus, those pretty leaves make for great pictures! :)

2. The weather. I always say my favorite weather is when I can wear jeans and long sleeve T-shirt and be perfectly comfortable. I can slowly but surely feel that weather coming its way!

Yesterday the temperatures were (finally) dropping a bit, so I decided to plan a little picnic for dinner for Jack, Maggie, and myself. I made some pizza sandwiches, packed up some apple slices with homemade fruit dip, grabbed a blanket, and we headed outside to enjoy the weather. We played catch with each other and tug-of-war with Mags. We couldn’t get enough of the outdoors, so then we took Maggie on a long walk on a trail near our home. It was so much fun, and I’m excited for more nights like last night!

1. Football! Even though I’m not a sporty girl, this really should be no surprise. Sitting in the stands at a Razorback football games is one of my all-time favorite places to be. I also love lazy nights in with Jack watching games on T.V. (or the computer).

Needless to say, I'm anxiously counting down these next several days until fall is officially here!
