Friend Makin' Monday is back! Amber is being gracious enough to host while Kasey takes a little blogging break...either way it's so much fun...you should join in!
This week's question from Amber:
What are some of your favorite things about fall?
Oh...where to begin? Let me count the ways...
1. Fall Fashion! Although I would like it a lot better if I were skinny, I still love the cute jeans, sweaters, fab jackets and...boots!
These are my favorite pair of boots. I got them LAST fall to wear to the NKOTB reunion concert! Alas, they came off about 45 seconds into the first song...I could tell I would be on my feet the ENTIRE night, and decided the boots needed to go.
Don't I look glamorous modeling them in front of the bin of baby toys? What makes it even more glamorous is the fact that above the boot...I was wearing my purple robe because I just got peed on by Monkey who was sleeping on my lap while we were watching a movie, and I had to change.
2. Soup! I love soup, and I have some delicious recipes that I'm so excited to start making again...it's too hot in the summer for soup, but for fall...it's the perfect comfort food!
3. I know we all love the crisp air, and the beautiful colors of changing leaves...but seriously, there is nothing like the smell of the air, and the gorgeous colors of fall in the mountains in Utah. Not that I'm a world traveler or anything...but I just know!
Here's a couple pictures from the Wasatch Mountains - just a 20 minute drive and we're there!
4. Thanksgiving Dinner! Thanksgiving dinner is the best meal of the entire year! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy...YUM-O! And it's even tastier because you get to share it with those you love, and reflect on all you have to be grateful for. I adore Thanksgiving.
The best thing about fall? It means CHRISTMAS is just around the corner! Just thinking about Christmas makes me giddy! I love everything about it, from the spiritual to the frivolous...I just adore it!

I just ♥ fall!
-oh. my. SAKE!! is T okay?? I'm on my way there next!!
-I love the boo blocks!!! They are my next project!! my friend saw yours and made some too and then I saw hers and now I've seen yours and now i need some for me!!! LOVE them!!
- I love the boots. I love the story, and I love the bin of baby stuff!! You're such a fabulous mom!!
-I love the fall in Utah too! It's weird in AZ the trees change and shed in the spring...just a little fun fact for you. I hate the cold. I'm not kidding. it's a deep and very dark hatred. But I love the colors and the smell!!! Oh how I love the smell of fall!!!
-Tips for you...hmm...Honestly. When I was losing weight (I've stopped and started moving in the other direction now - ha..er..eh) I would avoid all sweets. Not soda. I simply went to coke zero (LOVE) but sweets. When they passed them out in RS or at a party or at friends houses - just don't take them I know it sounds SO hard!! but it gets really easy to just pass them up after a while. PROMISE!!
lastly...Thank you. You don't know how much I appreciate you're love and support this month!! Thank you!!
I love fall too...and am welcoming it! I can't wait for cooler temps and the holidays!...oh, and more football, but hopefully the winning kind and not the kind that I experienced Saturday against your Cougars. :(
(I agree: soup, fall colors, big dinner... all good.)
:)
..I ♥ soup too...so ready for soup this Fall!
