While browsing Pinterest, I stumbled upon this infograph and was instantly inspired. Immediately, I printed it, (or attempted to, then realized I had to reinstall the printer software because my computer was recently reformatted, etc. blah blah blah, and so on). Autumn is by far my favorite season, and I know I'm not alone. Once August hits, I often see Facebook posts about sweaters and bonfires, apple cider, changing leaves, and the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Autumn to me is about appealing to all the senses. Red, gold, and orange, of all shades, is such a beautiful palette, whether displayed in changing leaves, wardrobe choices, or decorative touches. Smelling cinnamon and nutmeg, the sweet and loamy scent of late blackberries and rotting leaves, and the familiar, woodsy scent of a newly sharpened pencil. Warm and soft fibers of your favorite sweater, or the crisp, cool air against your skin. Spicy pumpkin bread with sweet cream butter melting on your tongue. Finally, the sound of school bells, soft rain, and crunching leaves. This upcoming season I'm challenging myself to experience as much of this list as possible. With me and my husband celebrating our first year of marriage in October, and our first year with our newest addition, Dante, this autumn is ripe full of opportunities. I'm hoping to document and share as I go through and check off the various items on this list. Some will be easier than others, such as anything to do with cooking or baking, to the more difficult task of knitting a fall scarf, because that requires me to learn how to knit. I look forward to taking the kiddos to a pumpkin patch and getting lost in a corn maze. I welcome you to this challenge! Let's go on this adventure together. Let's slow down this season and not rush too quickly into the winter months. Retail shops tend to gloss over autumn and throw us right into Christmas once the kids start school. Let's take back September and enjoy each day before we're swept into the snowy whirlwind of December. Follow me on Instagram for daily updates and I'll write the highlights here!
