Fall To-Do List

Thank you sweet Jesus, it may actually start to cool off here in California. I am a huge fan of fall so August and September are always spent anxiously awaiting that cooler weather so I can bust out the boots and scarfs. Every season I try and make my to-do list on everything I want to do that is only seasonal, so here is my list!

In less than two weeks we celebrate one whole year of marriage and I cannot believe it! Having things to look forward to and just making this list made me so excited for the next few months. Oh, and then of course the greatest time of year is just around the corner. Now that my niece is here, I cannot wait to do fun things with her this fall. Joe and I are already planning a fall photo shoot at the pumpkin patch with her very soon. We're just a little bit obsessed with her.

What things are on your Fall bucket or to-do list?
