Candles | I'm super particular about the scents that I like and basically only like fall-smelling things. Pumpkin spice, apple orchard, cinnamon roll, stuff like that. Casey and I stock up on candles during the fall to burn all year long. The other day we caught a sale at Michael's and got three huge candles for $9!
Fall decor | We have an agreement in this house -- fall stuff can go up September 1 and Christmas stuff can go up November 1. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay in our house for the first two weeks of September due to having no power thanks to Hurricane Ida, but after we got settled back we pulled out the fall decor! I love how cozy it makes the house feel. While I'm not a fan of having less daylight, I'm learning to enjoy it by turning on the lamps, the fairy lights, and lighting candles while I cozy up on the couch wrapped in a blanket.
Time outside | Everyone always says that August is the hottest month of the year, and boy were they right this year. August was so hot that I barely ever went out. I'm excited about going back to having my morning porch time now that the heat is bearable!
Apple Cider | We had a cool front (it was in the 70s! It was lovely!) a few weeks ago so Casey and I immediately picked up some apple cider and we went through two jugs of it in a week! We'll drink it morning, noon, and night--I often keep it warming on the stovetop so we can enjoy it whenever!
Caramel Apples | Casey and I made our autumn bucket list a few weeks ago and one of the things on it was eating caramel apples. Casey picked me up one at the grocery store and I was totally skeptical--how could it possibly be any good? Boy, I was WRONG. It was AMAZING. AND I didn't have to make it and make the kitchen messy! Ha! I'd still like to give a try making them, but at least I know I can get my fix pretty easily.
Walks to the farmers market | We love walking through the neighborhood and always enjoy going to the farmers market to buy pastries for breakfast. We are super excited because there is a new booth with Thai food and they make the best Thai tea I've ever had. I already can't wait for Saturday to get my tea and a delicious pastry!
