I wore jeans for the first time in months yesterday, which must mean fall is on the way! (Truthfully, I jumped the gun a bit with the jeans, but that’s North Carolina in September for you.) I haven’t posted a fall fun list for a few years (my last one was in 2015, pre-kiddos!), so I thought it would be fun to share! Here’s the version we now have hanging on our fridge, ready to be checked off… Bluegrass / State Fair (buy your tickets online before the 11th for a discount!) / Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins / Apple cider scones / Cozy Fall playlist What are YOU looking forward to this fall? P.S. Halloween prep is underway! June and John Shep are slated for coordinating costumes, and John and I potentially have roles to play, as well. They will be semi-DIY as in years past… any guesses as to what we are planning? :)

Photo by Inspiring the Everyday Happy fall, friends! We spent the first official full day of the new season doing a decidedly un-fall-like activity: swimming in the Eno River. While I savored one of our perhaps last outings with a summer feel, I’m looking forward to squeezing as many cozy activities into the next two months as possible!* Here are a few on our to do list: -– go on a trip to the mountains -– make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (SO good. Even if you don’t like pumpkin.) -– catch the goat showmanship competition at the NC State Fair (yes, watching the goats and their child handlers is our very favorite activity at the Fair) — also at the Fair: volunteer in our church’s ham biscuit booth (nope, it doesn’t get much more Southern than that!) — buy some baby boos for the house — make a fall crafty project — cheer at another high school football game (we’ve already been to one!) -– join in the sweet potato harvest at our church — send out some secret surprises to friends -– drink hot apple cider (my favorite) What’s on your fall to do list? *Why two months? I pretty much consider fall over by the time December rolls around, even though it officially lasts for most of the month!
