Fall is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons. Even though it means winter will soon follow and sometimes the snow, bitter cold and bad weather aren't as fun, at least fall can prepare us a little.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved watching the leaves change color-- it’s really a beautiful thing. Something as small as the leaves changing color goes unappreciated too often. Next time you’re outside take a minute to appreciate the little things.

1. The beautiful leaves changing color.

Because, before you know it, the trees will be bare.

2. Pumpkin season!

No matter how old you get, carving pumpkins is a must.

3. Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner and you know what that means--Christmas isn’t far away!

I still love to get dressed up for Halloween and watch all the Halloween movies like I did when I was younger. Thanksgiving is a great day to spend time with your family and eat until you’re in a food coma.

4. Sweater weather!

As much as I love to wear shorts and flip flops all summer, there’s just something about sweater weather that I look forward to.

5. Pumpkin rolls, candy corn, pumpkin pie, and apple cider.

6. Apple picking!

Just do it.

7. It’s time to wear all your cute boots again!

8. All the leaves crunching under your feet when you walk.

9. It’s not so hot anymore!

So you don’t need to sleep with 4 fans and an air conditioner.
