9.15.14 Blog-Tember Challenge
Sept 15th: Make a mood board. Are you brainstorming a room re-do, or are you dreaming of glamping with gal-pals? Share a collage of any kind! (Examples here and here).
I’ve never been a big fan of fall. It meant summer was over and winter was creeping up. However, this year I am just loving it!
Here is my mood board. As I said fall is here! The first cold day I was ready to whip out my boots and sweaters. With the temperatures dropping, it means more cuddle time with my love. I even got out my gloves and hat just to have in my car in case.
To celebrate fall and the hunting season, Eric’s aunt and uncle who own Goose Haven Gun Club have a party. We call it the Goose Haven Opener. It was only my second year and it was a blast! The left picture is all of us girlies, the middle is my best friend Marissa, and the right is a few of us girlies with Mitch (Cassie’s boyfriend). It was so much fun dancing the night away!
Yesterday, my family had the an annual tractor ride. Almost all my cousins and uncles are into antique tractors so they love to show them off. We load up the wagon and take a drive through the country. Pictured below on the left is my cousin Josh and his girlfriend Callie on his tractor, on the left is Eric and I while riding in the wagon (as you can tell my hair is everywhere!).
Yesterday, was also the opener for the Greenbay Packers home game. I got to wear my new Packers sweatshirt 🙂 Before the game, Eric and I went to Tom Dooley’s Orchards for some caramel apples and apple desserts. It was a wonderful Sunday! I can’t wait to see what else fall will bring! 🙂
What’s on your mood board? What do you love about fall?

Oooh I admit, I’m so excited for warm fuzzy sweaters, boots and hot cocoa!! Oh and the changing leaves… so pretty!
Ah yes 🙂 It’s such a romantic time too! Where are you located?
I am not quite feeling fall in the weather being it was 111 yesterday here, but I am so trying to feel fall indoors with fall recipes and scents! 😉
Oh wow yes….I can understand why you are not feeling fall! It was 50 the one day here in WI. One night it was just about freezing temps! Where are you from?
Ah, I am so excited for Fall!! 🙂
Thanks for commenting! Where are you located? Our leaves in WI haven’t started changing just yet…
My husband is a HUGE Packers fan! He was very happy yesterday lol.
Yay! GO PACKERS! I was a little worried at first…Where are you from?
I really can’t wait for autumn to arrive here in Ireland, summer just keeps on going… I want my cardigans and cosy nights already! 🙂
How warm is there yet? It’s definitely fall here in WI. I’m enjoying my boots and sweaters 🙂
So much fun!!! I am getting frustrated that it is so hot here in Arizona and that we don’t really get a fall here! Hopefully this is my last fall here because I am planning to move back to Chicago next spring 🙂
What is the temp. there? Aww you’ll be in my neck of the woods!
I love the cozy feeling of fall. The holidays are around the corner but not close enough yet to be stressed about. You can still go outside but you get to wear cute boots and a sweater. Sigh… I wish it lasted more than 2 weeks here…

Yes, exactly! Where do you live?
We had a cold front here in AR over the weekend, and it was GLORIOUS! I am a huge fan of fall weather! 🙂
What’s your favorite part?
I am SO geared up for fall as well! I’m already writing recipes with ingredients that will be in season soon! I can’t wait until the weather starts getting a bit cooler though. It’s in the 100’s here in Sacramento! EEEKS!
Ohh yummy! Will you have them on your blog? Oh wow yea definitely not fall by you yet…
I’m new to California – wondering if it’s ever going to feel fall-ish to me. Lol.
Oh wow yea it may take some getting used too!
I totally adore fall. I’m glad you’re embracing it this year!
yes, I am 🙂
LIving in San Diego fall might come around December for me..lol. But I am ok with that. I do like fall for the ability to play with fashion though. Not a fan of the cold, so when I lived on the Northeast, I definitely did not jump for fall.

I know what you mean about not jumping for fall. We didn’t have the best summer so I’m just trying to embrace the fall weather and hope it lasts nice and long!
I love fall, the cuddles are definitely a bonus!
For sure!
Fall is literally the most glorious time of the year. I am so flipping excited.
It is a gorgeous season!
SO SO SO Excited for Fall! I’m just itching to wear all my fall sweaters!
Gotta love sweaters 🙂 Where do you live?
If I make a mood board I’ll just want fall here sooner and in arizona fall doesn’t show up till like november… boooo!
Wow! Yea you have a little bit until fall! But our winters suck here! I’d rather have AZ winters 🙂
I’m one of the really passionate fall-lovers 🙂 I think it’s because I’m not a big fan of the heat, so I love it when a chill comes back in the air.
Ah yes! I hate being cold but love to bundle up and cuddle!
I think i’ve come to realise that I don’t have a particular favourite season – there are bits I like from all of them!
Katie ❤
Ditto! There is a positive in every season 🙂
I love fall and all things pumpkin. Bring it on
Right! Lattes, pies, and goodies!
me too! I am loving everything fall – fall smells are the BEST!
Yes they are!
I’m mostly excited for the cooler weather in fall. Those caramel apples look delicious!
Yes, its so crisp and refreshing!
Warm sweaters, turkey, and that crisp feeling in the air. I love fall!
It’s absolutely wonderful!
I can’t wait until Fall official starts where I am. Here in the south it takes a little longer for it really come, but when it does, I am so ready!
Yes, you have preparation time!
I’m right there with ya! I can’t wait for the weather to cool, and I’ve already started on the puniken spice lattes. 🙂
That’s funny you say that the first cold day I was at Starbucks getting my first one 🙂
I see so many posts about fall, but living in Sunny San Diego, we have been experience a heat wave, temps in the upper 90s. I do like fall to a degree, but I am an island girl, and now living in Cali, I am definitely loving the LONG summers. Enjoy your fall though 🙂
