Fall Favorites

Fall is by far my favorite time of year. I love all of the seasons, and love living in NY where we see the change of seasons, but there is something special about the fall! This time of year I feel very cozy in my home with my family -- whether it's the slight chill in the air outside, or the spicy scent of my cinnamon-scented votive candles burning inside the house -- autumn definitely signifies the warmth of home and family to me. My girls are both in school (3rd grade and preschool) and we have school pictures coming up, book fairs, school dinners, Girl Scout cookie sales! There are fall festivals and pumpkin and apple picking, cider and donuts, crock-pot dinners, Halloween decorations... This year we are going to visit out-of-town family for Halloween, which will be a fun treat! And soon after that, my favorite holiday -- Thanksgiving! Best wishes for a happy and cozy fall spent with your loved ones!

I do love this time of year as well. The house is pretty cold because I usually feel it's not "heat" season until October, so we have on our heavy sweaters and pill with blankets on the couch in the evening. Today I stopped at my neighborhood farm market picked up some lovely white pumpkins and beautiful mums to decorate my front stoops. I think I need to burn a fire in the fireplace and light some nice scented candles, as you suggested. Ahhh fall!
