Hello, my lovely friends! 

  

    Autumn, oh autumn, the season of crisp leaves, pumpkin spice everything, and cozy sweaters. It's a time to embrace the changing colors and indulge in seasonal activities. It's a season of renewal, a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to what lies ahead. As the leaves turn vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow, the air becomes crisp and the days grow shorter. It's a time to slow down, appreciate the beauty of nature, and indulge in seasonal traditions. From pumpkin picking and leaf peeping to cozy nights by the fire, there's something magical about autumn. It's a season that inspires creativity, brings people together, and fills our hearts with joy. So, let's embrace the beauty of fall and make the most of this wonderful time of year.

 

    Indulge in the rich and comforting flavors of autumn, which are sure to warm you up from the inside out. Enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider, and cozy soups, or bake a pumpkin pie or a hearty bowl of chili. The seasonal flavors of autumn are a feast for the senses, offering a delightful combination of sweetness, warmth, and spice.

 

    Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home, where you can relax and unwind after a long day. Read a good book, watch a classic movie, or light some candles for a soothing ambiance. There's nothing quite like curling up on the couch with a blanket and a good book on a chilly autumn day. Decorate your home with fall-themed decor, such as pumpkins, leaves, and candles, to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

Here some things that you can do to celebrate the autumn season:

·  Get creative: Carve pumpkins, make fall-themed crafts, or try your hand at autumn-inspired cooking. Unleash your creativity and express yourself through art and crafts. Carve pumpkins with intricate designs, create beautiful fall-themed wreaths, or experiment with new recipes using seasonal ingredients.

 

·  Celebrate the season: Attend a local fall festival, visit a pumpkin patch, or go apple picking. Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere of autumn by attending local events. Enjoy live music, delicious food, and fun activities for the whole family. Visit a pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin for your jack-o'-lantern, or go apple picking and enjoy fresh apples and cider.

 

·  Reflect and appreciate: Take time to appreciate the changing seasons and the beauty of autumn. Autumn is a time for reflection and gratitude. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the changing leaves, the crispness of the air, and the cozy atmosphere of the season. Reflect on the year that has passed and set your intentions for the upcoming winter

 

So glad you could stop by! Wishing you a splendid rest of your day/evening/morning, wherever you may be.

It's All About Me #25

Hello, my lovely friends! 

 

     Can you believe it? The holiday blogs are this week? It feels like just yesterday we were sweltering in 90-degree heat. But hey, that means it's officially Fall! Let's dive into some cozy autumnal vibes before the holiday cheer takes over. 

 

1.  One autumn, during my high school days, I thought it would be totally cool to rock a set of fake nails. Little did I know, that decision would lead to a hilarious backyard adventure. My dad was busy raking leaves, and being the helpful daughter I am, I offered to lend a hand. As I was stuffing leaves into trash bags, a tiny, unexpected drama unfolded. One of my fabulous press-on nails had decided to take a break from my fingers and go on a leaf-filled vacation. I had to do a mini-dig to find it, but I finally did.

 

2.  Fall meant cozy nights, warm blankets, and a whole new lineup of comfort foods. My mom would whip up steaming bowls of Cream of Wheat, hearty chicken soup, and spice tea. To this day, those chilly-weather favorites are still reserved for autumn, bringing back all the nostalgia of childhood.

 

3.  Back in the day, we’d load up the car with a cooler full of snacks and drinks and hit the road. The four of us would spend the day exploring the mountains, watching the Aspens transform into a vibrant tapestry of color. We’d wander through quaint mountain towns, browsing shops and grabbing a bite to eat. It had been ages since we’d done this, but just before my Dad and Bella passed, we took one last trip to soak up the autumnal beauty. I’m so glad we made those memories together.

 

4.  There's nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into my summer jammies on a cold night, snuggled under a cozy blanket of flannel sheets. It's the perfect combination of warmth and comfort.

 

5.  Nothing beats a steaming bowl of Menudo on a chilly day! This hearty Mexican soup, packed with tripe and hominy, is a comfort food classic. Some even swear by it as a hangover cure, but I love it just for its rich, satisfying flavor. It takes a little time to prepare, but trust me, it's worth every minute.

 

6.  My first hayride was an adventure. I went with friends, had a blast, discovered allergies, and missed out on s'mores. Still, it was a memorable experience.

 

 So glad you could stop by! Wishing you a splendid rest of your day/evening/morning, 

wherever you may be. Until next time! Adios...
