Fall!

I LOVE fall. I love everything about it! It is funny how every time fall comes around, I feel like being a "domestic diva". I always want to cook, and make my house cozy for my little family. So, in honor of fall...here are some of my favorite things.

The most DELICIOUS candle! I am telling you, this one is a good one.


Last night we made caramel apples. Yummy!!


We went up the canyon on Sunday after church. The colors are just starting to change. It is so beautiful up there.


I always love when fall rolls around, because that means I can eat soup again! I love Butternut Squash Soup.


And, of course...Halloween! I LOVE Halloween! We are trying to find the perfect costume for Lily. Any suggestions?

Wow, we are a lot alike ~ Those are all my favorites too!

Halloween is so much fun when you have a child to dress up. With all the adorable costumes out there, it's so hard to decide on just one! I just got Avery's in the mail yesterday:

I'm sure Anton will understand why she's going to be an elephant this year, especially with Halloween falling right before this big election!

Good luck selecting a costume for Lily ... can't wait to see pictures!

I loved this post! I can just imagine how yummy your home smells and how warm it feels right now.
I've never tried that kind of candle. I will have to. I'm a huge fan of the pumpkin (esp. spiced).

I have the costume I used for Sophia last year, if you want to use it. It's a ladybug. But I totally understand if you want to get her a new costume - being her first halloween and all! you will have to take tons of pics.

when should we get together? i miss you.

Mmmm! I love fall too! I love to get all cozy and you're so right, I get this urge to cook! The weather isn't changing too much here in CA, I keep waiting for the brisk fall mornings...a little cool down will have to do! I found a really cute costume for Tessa at babystyle. Check their website out, they had some really cute things!

I just smelled that candle the other day when Amy and I were out shopping--it is so yummy! And, can I get your recipe for butternut squash soup? I've never had one I loved, but you always make the best food, so I bet yours is really good. Also, your wreath on your front door is oh so cute. I want to steal it.

I couldn't agree more, only it doesn't even feel like fall here, so I haven't felt like doing all the fall things. We took Truman for a hike on Sunday to find some leaves and didn't have much luck. You're post definitely good me in the mood for fall though. I miss seeing the leaves change. I love cooking soup when it cools off.

Oh how I love fall!!! I couldn't agree with you more although I haven't ever tried that specific candle only the spiced wassil one from salt city which I love.

It's finally starting to cool off around here too and there is definitely a difference in the air. I wish I could see the beautiful leaves in the mountains. I can't wait to decorate for halloween this year either :) NEXT WEEK.

You are amazing Lizzy, I wish I were crafty, and good at cooking and all that jazz. Not to mention I sorta, kinda, have to say I hate fall. To me it just means the end of Summer and THAT means a sad Laurie because no more laying out by the pool.
when shall we get together?
