Alas! Fall is approaching and we couldn't be more excited! Say goodbye to hot and humid summer days and say hello to the cool and crisp days of fall. Put away those bathing suits and bring out your big fluffy scarves. Pack up the summer flip flops and break out the BOOTS! In the spirit of fall, let's all put on our cozy sweatshirts, curl up next to our fireplaces, sip on a pumpkin spice latte, and enjoy thinking about all the reasons we LOVE fall and why it needs to hurry up and get here!
1. Nothin better than fall weather!
There's this very short and precious time of the year where the temperature isn't burning hot and it's not quite freezing cold. It's juuuuuust right.
2. Cozy Fall Bonfires
Hand me a graham cracker! SO excited to head out back and roast a gooey s'more with the fam.
3. Football!!
Bring on the friday night football games under the lights! Bring on homecoming and tailgates and cheering on your favorite team!
4. Coffee tastes better, I swear.
Fall is the magical season that welcomes in the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte. Who's excited?!
5. Back to School
College students are itching to get back to campus, high schoolers are looking forward to seeing their friends every day again, and parents are excited to get their kids back into school! It's the one time of the year where everyone is ACTUALLY looking forward to school to start!
6. Sweater weather!!
EVERYONE is wearing sweaters and it's spectacular. Don't have a sweater? Walk into literally any clothing store. Sweaters everywhere. Yay sweaters!
7. Leaves, leaves, leaves!
They're beautiful, they're everywhere, and they're so inviting. Do it. Jump into the leaf pile. You know you want to.
8. Carving Pumpkins
Ah yes, the wonderful tradition of pumpkin carving. You pick out the biggest and roundest one, and go to work! Not to mention the aroma from the roasting pumpkin seeds in the oven across the room. Mmmmm. Yum.
9. Family Orchards
Not every town is as festive in the fall as Stars Hallow (right, Gilmore Girls fans?). But there's sure to be a fun family orchard or farm nearby where you can get that warm apple cider, go on hayrack rides with the fam, and bring home some homemade kettle corn!
10. Wonderful Fall Delicacies
Can you just smell the hot cocoa? I'll take mine with extra mini marshmallows please!!
11. Halloween!
"You haven't seen Hocus Pocus?!" Well, stick that on the top of the to-do list this Halloween, along with all of the other fantastic halloween movies that grace our televisions the whole month of October.
12. Thanksgiving!
We eat. We give thanks. We eat some more. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time.
13. All our favorite TV Shows come back!
Yay. Just yay.
14. Fall outfits.
Everyday: "I love your BOOTS!" "I love your sweater!" "That hat is adorable!" and you're just here like, "Yeah I know. My outfit rocks. Thank you fall weather."
15. Everyone is happier!
Maybe it's the pumpkins, the yummy lattes, or the warm cozy sweaters. Maybe it's the football or the perfect fall weather! Whatever it is, there must be some serious magic that blows in with that fall breeze... because everybody just seems to be in a better mood!
Hurry up Fall!
