Fall in love...with Fall

So Fall is absolutely, hands down, my favorite time of the year.  And.....as I am sure you are aware it is rapidly approaching.  I love Fall for a lot of reasons: the air is cooler (which means boots, scarves, and light sweaters), the air is crisp and clean and the scents always remind me of times gone by, football season, and lots of fun things to do.  That being said I am planning some ideas for fall activities:

1. Enjoy football with friends by hosting a game day party. (Sure will miss my dear friends, Ashley and Steven Meadows, for this activity.)
2.  Mountain weekend trip with my hubby....providing someone watches Zoey for the weekend. Any takers?
3.  Select a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and decorate with puffy paint.
4.  Go to the art museum.
5.  Bake some goodies and share.
6. Start Christmas shopping early.
7.  Make chili and soups and have with friends...maybe while watching some football. :)
8.  Rake leaves for someone.
9.  Take a photo for our Christmas cards.
10.  Buy fall-scented candles.
11. Enjoy coffee with friends.
12.  Be busy with the simple things and just enjoy life.
13.  Spend time with family.
14.  Go to dinner and eat outside.

This fall season, I am going to try to make the most out of the beautiful, wonderful, extraordinary life by being more simple, taking myself less seriously, and by slowing down.  Make the most of yours, too!
