The fall season is upon us, and that means one thing. It's time for doing and enjoying all the fall things! As soon as September arrives, I become overly giddy for chilly weather, pumpkins everywhere, fires, sweaters, and autumn baking. I find joy in every. single. part. of. fall. Not that you didn't know that already ;) And I love savoring it. In order to do so, I find that we have to slow down as a family from here through Christmas, taking the time to soak it all in instead of skimming over it. When you give yourself the time to fully submerge in an activity (without worrying about your to-do list, chores, thinking ahead to the next thing, etc) you get so much more out of it. And as list maker, I love a bucket list for the season so that we don't forget anything.
