Just the thought of fall coming soon makes me happy I am so excited to take out the decorations I am already driving my husband crazy --- more than the norm --- by daily asking him to take out the stuff from the attic. I have decided that I am going to decorate on September 1st (which I did!). That way I can stretch the season out a little longer.
September 1st to the day after Thanksgiving (which is BY FAR the best day of the entire year!) That gives me almost three full months to enjoy the yummy autumn smells and all of the harvest decor
I also love this time of year because people are just a little bit nicer They seem to care more There is more giving and volunteering going on It is just a nice, cozy, warm, and fuzzy feeling that I wished lasted all year
Fall is a time to prepare for the holiday season without the craziness of the holiday season. It's a time when everyone can just put the troubles of life on hold for a little while. Join me in welcoming Fall.

Fall is such a wonderful time for the kiddos I love pumpkin patches, fall festivals and the holidays we celebrate during this time.

Yup, as parents we dread the time change. Right when we seem to figure out our kid’s sleep schedule, it all gets turned upside down! Who wouldn’t dread this?!
Fall is tough because while we “get another hour of sleep,” our kids who usually sleep till 7am are waking at 6am on that day. If you have an early riser, the time that they wake on that day can be almost unmentionable. Yikes! Their internal biological sleepy clock doesn’t know that our iPhones automatically changed at 2am.

They are perfect over a dress, with a sleek pair of pants or even denim on denim.
You can pair an animal print top with denim or wear animal print shoes with just about anything For a fun night out, pair an animal print skirt + black tank with strappy heels for a va-va-va voom outfit! Or you can neutralize a bold & sexy animal print dress with a denim jacket.
You can also add animal print as a tiny accent on an otherwise simple and monochromatic outfit (think accessories!)
The combat boot (with many affordable options too) is trending to be a top boot option this fall Not only is this style comfortable and also highly functional, it's the quickest footwear fix for an outfit that needs a bit of edge.
Pair them with leggings, jeans and even dresses for a fall outfit that screams chic!
