Seasons.

Over the last several days our weather has dropped 15 degrees and I swear I am a new woman. I am so happy to live in Tallahassee when the seasons change. My windows are open, we're eating our meals on our porch and taking Buster on long walks again. It's amazing how the change in the weather rejuvenates my outlook on life.

I am pretty dramatic and prone to call whatever stage I'm entering my favorite, and then a few months later wish it away! I love the first crisp in air in the fall and I love the warmth on my skin in the spring. I usually dread the shorter days, but I am looking forward to the sun setting earlier and having fires in our house again...probably because I've been so tired lately.

I'm contemplating making marshmallows this year. This is one food group I could totally avoid, but the homemade marshmallows look irresistible.

I''m also ready to put my boots back on.

I tried to wear a scarf today, but I kept taking it on and off, it's not quite cool enough.

Are you the same? What excites you about the fall?

Change, already.

I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. I am ready for some crisp coolness in the air. I am dreaming of boots, fires, running outdoors and Thanksgiving break.

Pumpkin Passion.

Fall has arrived in Tallahassee, at least this morning it finally cooled off. I drove to work with the windows down, a smile on my face and Miley Cyrus on the radio {don't deny it, she has a catchy song}. What I would give for an office with operable windows, I digress...

While we are entering the fall season, lets look at some clever ideas of decorating with pumpkins on the interior of your home.

Don't forget the adorable white pumpkins available at Publix right now {if you're in the south}


Pumpkins on the exterior. This Pottery Barn look {below} is a little too artificial for me, but I see where they were going with it and I like it. They mixed in different colors and textures for a more interesting look. I especially love the lanterns and the twig pumpkins {available at Target and Michael's} This monochromatic look works great as well. Throw in some mums and pumpkins of differing size for instant curb appeal.

How will you be decorating this fall?
