New Plan!!!!

Okay....November 1st is tomorrow!!!  I can't even believe it!  Things are slightly calming down in my life, and that makes me happy.  :)

Starting tomorrow I have a few plans (in no particular order)...

1. Eat a piece of fruit a day!  (I have got to be better at this!!!)

2. Exercise more!!  (I haven't done near as good as I used to!!!)

3. Spend more quality time with my family!!

4. Try some of the new recipes and crafts I have found on Pinterest.  (There are soooo many I love)

5.  Find something to be thankful for each day!!

I hope you had a fabulous Halloween!!!

Seasons Change......

I LOVE summer.  I mean, I am off work in the summer, there is lots of swim time, I get to stay home with my girls, stay up late, sleep in late, wear flip flops.  Life is good!!!  But, I am always glad when fall comes around.  It is an AWESOME time of year!!!

Now, for me, I feel fall really starts in October.  Yesterday, October 1st, was a perfect fall day.  Temperatures started in the low 50s and ended up in the mid 70s.  I had hot cocoa in the morning and had my windows open in the afternoon and evening! 

The last 3 months of the year have some of my favorite things in them.  Now, before we get too far into my favorite things, let me point out I am not a fan of the cold, like bitter cold.  I love some of the events that occur in that time period, but I don't like freezing cold weather. 

Now, back to things that make me super happy about this time of year.

1. Soccer season....I just love watching my girls play!!

2. Football season...I love watching games (on TV and at the fields).  I love, when going to High School games, visiting with friends, watching my girls stare in awe of the cheerleaders, drill team, and band, and this year the Homecoming Court!!!

Allie, well, Allie enjoyed the game!  :)

3. Warm foods...I know we eat warm foods all year, but soup and chili on a cool day is perfect!!!


4. Friends....I love the time you can spend outside, inside, at a get together, going out to eat, or even shopping!!


5. Having the windows open...I love letting the nice fall breeze inside!!


6. Cooking....I love making sweet treats, cookies, cakes, and other fun things this time of year.  


7. The holidays.....Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas....there are soooo many things I love about them!!!


8. Hallmark and Holiday movies.....they are PERFECT on a Saturday or Sunday!!!  

Enjoy the end of 2011, it will go by so fast, but there are sooo many reasons to go out and enjoy it!!!
