I always tell my husband I want to move out of NJ for some place warmer, and he says the same thing every time. "You'll miss the Fall". I
really hate when he is right. I do love the Fall. Sad as it makes me feel knowing that I am
stuck in NJ, it makes me happy to realize being stuck in NJ in the Fall, ain't too bad. There are so many things that I love about the Fall. Mostly it's the obvious things - cooler weather, changing of the leaves, pumpkin picking, Halloween etc., but Fall is so much more to me. It's about that "feeling" I try to create when you walk in my home. A feeling of "love lives here". Yes, to me the Fall feels like love. It's so important to me that I make a home for my family that "feels" like love. A home that wraps around you like a warm loving hug. So maybe my home is not the BEST decorated, the biggest, or the most expensive, but there is love in this home - and that's most important to me. So walk into my home in the Fall and yes, you will smell apple candles burning, see a ton of pumpkins, leaves and mums, but best of all you will feel loved. And you gotta
love that!
Some of the other reasons I love the Fall.
1. Sitting/Reading in front of the fireplace
2. Football games
3. watching TV snuggled in blankets
4. Sleeping on flannel sheets
5. Chili
6. Simmering oranges, cloves and cinnamon
7. Caramel apples
8. Trick or Treaters
9. Cozy socks
10. The wind blowing through the turning leaves.
