Our Fall Fun List

Today is first day of Autumn! Can you believe it? I love scrolling through Pinterest and looking at fun fall to-do lists. Everyone has different things on their fall checklist, but I wanted to make our own family one with things we do every year to celebrate our love for the season :)

Come November I'll check in and see how many of these we actually accomplished! But even if we don't finish them all, it will just be fun to have family time and enjoy the season. 

Warm sweaters, hot chocolate, and pumpkin treats, here we come!

Running Into Fall

I love staple clothing items that stand the test of time. This outfit is one of my favorites because it's so versatile! These long boots are from Arizona Jean company and are a steal. The top is from Brass Plum. I'ts long, comfy and I've worn it in summer, fall, and winter. The leggings are from Lulu Lemon, which is a bit pricier, but I've used them for everything! They're actually athletic pants made of incredibly thick spandex material. They're great for any season and I swear more flattering than regular leggings. I consider certain clothing pieces an investment--these leggings are one of those pieces. If you can wear it to work out in, as leggings, throughout your pregnancy, and all year long, it's worth it!

Three Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies

Hello! It's October first and I cannot believe fall is here. It's time to pull out the Halloween decorations, the warm sweaters, and make the house smell like pumpkin! 

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite and EASIEST cookie recipes ever. It's so tasty and only calls for three ingredients. Yes three ingredients, that's it. My mother-in-law showed this recipe to me years ago, and I fell in love with it immediately! Without further ado, here is my favorite fall treat recipe. 

Three Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies 

1 (15 oz) Can of Pumpkin

1 cake mix, I like yellow, but spice cake works too

1 (12 oz) bag of chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl with mixer or wooden spoon. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet. These cookies don't really spread out while baking, so shape them before you pop them in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy! 

Edgy All-American

I love a fun edgy look, especially when there are soft elements mixed in. This look was centered around these Arizona boots which I've LOVED and are on sale right now. I think it's fun to mix together looks that you might not normally put together, like combat boots with ringlets, or a waist-tied sweatshirt with dark denim. Now that it's getting a little colder, I can't wait to turn my closet upside down with sweaters, boots, and and warmer looks. Fall is coming!
