As a teacher, you'd think summer was my favorite time of year but with the exception of school being back in session, Fall has with a doubt always been what I consider the best time of year. What could be better than waking up to a crisp, cool morning, snuggling the covers a little closer around your face before you embark upon your day? With the official start to fall happening this weekend, we celebrated accordingly.
First up, a freshly baked batch of homemade Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. They taste even better than they look! Want the recipe? Just check out the back of your next Publix Rolled Oats canister for the details.
Next up, the Light the Night Walk. Dan and I raised a combined total of $200 (hoping to raise more next year and get some friends to go in with us!) and joined thousands of others in Cumming, GA on Saturday night to celebrate and fight for the lives of those touched by Leukemia and Lymphoma. Abbey accompanied us, no doubt overstimulated by all of the sights, smells, and sounds, but enjoyed herself none the less. Balloons were carried by walkers- red for supporters, gold in memory of, and white for patients and survivors.
Last up, a new wreath for the front door. We were long over due getting our spring colored wreath off the door with this cool weather blowing in, so I picked up a 4 dollar twig-wreath base at Michael's to make my own. With a little inspiration from my favorite inspirational place, Country Living, I took a Magnolia Leaf Garland idea and spun it into an autumn wreath. We plucked leaves off the magnolia trees at the top of our neighborhood and just tied them on with some floral wire that we also picked up at Michael's for just 2 bucks. Love it!
