We’re already well into the first week of September and you know what that means… FALL is on the way!

I always welcome September and October with open arms. It’s a beautiful and refreshing time of year before the hustle & bustle of the holidays start. I am savoring the last bit of summer, but after scrolling through this post- I think I’m ready for the leaves to start falling! Click through for 10 of my favorite fall posts.

#1 // Transitioning the Backyard for Fall

We had an epic fall party a couple years ago and seeing this post really makes me miss our old backyard! I decked it out with mums, candles, pumpkins, throws, and all things cozy. We also had hot spiked cider. I’m looking forward to more fall celebrations this year!

#2 // Spiced Mulled Wine Recipe

This is my favorite fall cocktail… it’s not fall until I make a big batch of hot mulled wine. It makes the house smell incredible and there is nothing better than wrapping myself in a blanket, cuddling up on the patio around the fire pit, and sipping one of these. It’s pure bliss!

#3 // 15 Candles to Stock Up On This Fall

I light candles year round, but I definitely go crazy in the fall! There is something about a flickering flame and incredible scents filling my house this time of year. Anyone with me? It’s hard to say no to candles this time of year.

#5 // Blankets & Throws for Fall

Much like candles, I also stock up on blankets & throws this time of year. I love snuggling under covers… whether I’m lounging with the dogs, watching TV, reading a book, or working from my home office- having a throw on my lap makes me feel so warm and happy. Emmett jokes that I always have to cover my lap. It’s true though- maybe it’s a comfort thing? No idea, but I do it.

#7 // Fall Window Planter Box

You guys know I dig a good window planter (get my installation tutorial here). As much work as it is, I really enjoy trading and updating the plants each season. It’s a fun hobby and gardening is relaxing for me. I can never get enough mums this time of year! They’re just so gorgeous and seasonally appropriate.

#9 // Decorating for Fall & Halloween

I’m not going to lie, I LOVED my Halloween decorations last year. I had the best time styling our shelves and decking out our living room. I’m a Halloween baby, so this Scorpio is into spooky and weird holiday decor. It’s also one of my prouder shelf styling moments… I crammed those shelves to the brim and I have to say- they looked realllllly good.

#10 // Mini Caramel Apple Pies

I made these for the fall party I previously mentioned and they flew off the serving tray. I should’ve made a triple batch! They’re really fun to make and would be a great family project… apple picking and mini pie baking. It sounds like a great day to me!
