It's Fall Ya'll!

Well almost! This Saturday marks the official beginning of Fall. I've been waiting for Fall it seems like forever now. It is my favorite season hands down (I really love winter, but there is just something about fall that gets me all giddy inside). I had to work Friday night so I only had Saturday off this weekend (boo) so it wasn't much of a weekend at all for me, but I did however get a couple of things on my list accomplished (although not as many as I would have liked but there are only so many hours in a day). We did our usual weekly shopping (grocery, etc) in the morning and then I came home and cleaned and also pulled out all of my fall and Halloween decor. Usually my stuff is up already by now because I'm always super excited for fall so I put things up super early, but with the Hurricane happening and us trying to get back on track, it was put on the back burner. So I guess this year you could say I am on time! I wanted to give you all a little sneak peek of my seasonal decor (of course I'll share my other decor later on, still playing around with it a bit). I also added a source list below in case anyone is interested in some of the items.

Source List: 

Large Wooden Pumpkin, Pottery Barn; already owned and no longer available.

Yul B Next Tombstone Candle, Pottery Barn; already owned and no longer available.

I really like how my kitchen table turned out this year (even though looking at these pictures made me realize I need to get on it and buy some curtains, it looks so blah in the background). On Saturday we popped into Hobby Lobby so I could pick up some moss for around the large pumpkin and headstone candle. While there I came across those fall branches and I thought they were beautiful and that I could definitely use them so I bought a few at 40% off. They turned out so well that I'm thinking of going to get a couple more to put in a glass vase on my mantel too. I just hope greedy little furbaby paws stay off of them if you know what I mean. While I was snapping pics we also had a little photo bomb moment I thought was so cute because its usually always Bella or Lily photo bombing, but this time it was Bug. Such a sweet boy. He had just gotten a bath an hour or so before this picture.

I also happened to make my Nanny's (my Canadian Grandmother) Maple Syrup Ribs and they were so delicious (well they always are but I'm impartial of course) that I will be sharing the recipe with you all next Monday so check back! It's such a great fall/winter recipe. My mom always made them when I was growing up and two years ago she put together a nice cookbook for each of us filled with recipes she made when we were kids or sentimental recipes that we all loved from other family members. The book turned out so nicely and she left a lot of space for us to add our own or for her to add more of hers. I absolutely adore gifts like that. It definitely pulls on my heart strings. xoxo, Kayleigh
