HAPPY OCTOBER friends!! Ahhhh! I can’t believe its October already. Part of me is super excited because I love the fall, and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas. BUT the other part is a little bit dreading the upcoming winter!
It has really hit home over the last 8 months how quickly time really does go. It is crazy to think we have such a short window of time with our kids before they grow older, especially when they start going to school. I’m all about creating and making amazing memories with the boys while I can and this fall season is no exception.
I have such fond memories of fall- probably my fondest memory was playing youth soccer & high school soccer in the crisp fall mornings. I’ll never forget the donuts and cider after my practices on Saturday mornings. Seeing those things in the store brings back so many nostalgic memories. I basically have to tie my hands together to not buy donut holes every time I’m there …haha!
My oldest son is SO excited about carving a pumpkin and FALL everything this year and it just makes me love it even more. Experiencing this season through his eyes is so much fun. I made a little list of things that I want to try and do over the next 8 weeks or so (some we have already done!) to enjoy every minute that we have! Keep in mind…I will by no means be killing myself to “check everything off” this list. I think having a list is a great way to organize time & plan, but I make sure I don’t stress out about it!
