Okay...so (maybe) I mean it this time...?

Good thing this blogging is just for me...and maybe my momma (if she even reads this anymore). I went through quite a non-posting spell there for awhile! Honestly, the inspiration and motivation just weren't there. We were busy, and I was lazy...excuses, excuses!

But, now I have something that HUGELY inspires me to write  obsess about! Drum roll, please....

It's Fall, Y'all!!!!!

I am legitimately OBSESSED with this season...and I want to scream from the rooftops that it is now OFFICIALLY upon us!!  At this point in the year, I eat pretty much anything that is flavored with pumpkin, hit up Pinterest to find MORE things that are flavored with pumpkin, invent things I can eat and drink that have pumpkin in them, decorate with pumpkins, and DREAM of pumpkins! Can ya tell I like pumpkins? Ha!

It is this time of year that leads me to drive all of my family and friends insane with my crazy rambling Facebook posts about loving fall...and where I talk endlessly about fall nail color, fall eats, sweets, and treats, fall weather, fall decorating, fall movies, and HALLOWEEN! My house has been decorated for fall since September 1st! I have a serious problem!

I have spent the past couple of weekends scouring Target for more fall decor, making trips to Starbuck's for Caramel Apple Spice Ciders and Decaf White Chocolate Mochas with a shot of Pumpkin Spice, and picking out the PERFECT fall nail color (OPI's Every Month is Oktoberfest was the winner). My poor hubby knows of my obsession, so he tolerates it well...and might even enjoy the decor and MUCH better mood this season brings out in me!

So, I owe y'all a "Favorites" post. Here is my MOST favorite list to create...FALL FAVORITES!! 

  1. Every Month is Oktoberfest by OPI - I am love, love, LOVING this totally fall nail color! It's a deep burgundy with a hint of purple...and plenty of gorgeous sparklies when the light hits it. The best part is...it comes in OPI's gel line, so you can get a pedi and matching gel mani that will last for WEEKS! In love.
  2. Caramel Apple Spice Cider - This drink tastes like apple pie in a paper cup! It is SO delicious that I can't stand talking about it because I want one so badly! I had one while I got my fall mani and pedi this weekend...HEAVEN!
  3. J and Paper's Etsy Shop - I have mentioned this wonderful Etsy shop before...as well as the wonderful blog the shop owner writes! This shop is run by the brilliant mind of Jessica, who is the amazing author of Little Baby Garvin! She is an amazingly talented chalkboard artist who has some of my most FAVORITE fall prints in her shop right now. She is also obsessed with all things fall (and all other holidays and holiday eves), so her penchant for my next favorite pretty much makes her my soul sister! Check out her shop and blog...but prepare for a brain explosion of awesomeness!
  4. Hocus Pocus - Otherwise known as the BEST EVER Halloween movie in the history of mankind! My obsession with fall makes this one of my all time favorite movies! I watch is on endless repeat during this season, and you better believe my tv is set to auto-tune every time it comes on ABS Family! Amuck! Amuck, amuck, AMUCK! (Love that part!)
  5. ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween - Starting October 19th, this is on my tv pretty much every night! Not only do they Hocus Pocus, I can usually count on other favorites like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Halloweentown, The Witches, Haunted Mansion, Casper, Ernest Scared Stupid, and Coraline! In love. If you've never tuned in, DO IT! You won't be disappointed!
Those are my top five most favorite fall things...if I wrote about all of them, we would be here all night long! I hope you can enjoy them as much as I do...they really are my favorite things!

I am off to enjoy this fall weather by opening the windows and listening to my hubby scream at the football game! Hope you all enjoy what little is left of this beautiful fall weekend! Hopefully, I will be posting again SOON!
