Welcoming A New Season: Autumn

It’s almost officially one of the best times of the year…fall! I look forward to this time of year because of all the warmth and coziness it brings. Watching the leaves change, carving pumpkins, enjoying pumpkin spiced lattes, and so much more, it is truly a special time of year.

I’ve already started to welcome the new season in my home and through weekend activities. I wanted to share my autumn bucket list (that’s typically the same each year) to provide some inspiration and encourage you to welcome the new season! This past weekend, Patrick and I checked apple picking off the bucket list and it was such a fun way to kick off the fall season.

Wishing you all a wonderful autumn season!

Autumn Hygge Inspiration

The fall season is the perfect time to engage in cozy activities and embrace the slowness the season will bring. Fall always seems like the perfect transition phase to prep ourselves and our homes for the slower months ahead. I always look forward to this time of year and I believe that’s due to all the warm and cozy activities this season can bring. If you need a reminder of what Hygge is it’s a danish term which simply means making things more cozy and homey. I have enjoyed embracing this notion each season but I’m especially excited to incorporate hygge into my life this autumn season.
