First Day of Autumn // Tacit Tuesdays! {28}

Happy First Day of Autumn, Everyone!

   Usually I am excited for the new seasons to come around, but this time I am ecstatic for fall!  I don't know why, but for some reason I am really getting into the "fall spirit."  (Is that a thing?)  Anyway, today for, like, the first time ever the weather actually followed the calendar!  Yesterday was officially summer, and we were out on our boat swimming.  (Well, not swimming in our boat, but you get my drift)  And today is officially autumn, and I had to pull out my sweatshirt and long pants, because with the windows open it was so cold!

   I've made an Autumn Bucket list and Goals, which include, but is not limited to:

 ~Picking and Decorating Pumpkins (idealy picked from a pumpkin patch, but one from a store would do.  I'm painting small ones in cute patterns, like these:


~ Go through and re-do my fall wardrobe.  ("Shopping spree, anyone?!" - says the girl who is already...*ahem* whispers.....$50 in debt to her mother.....)

~ Buy (and drink, duh) Pumpkin spice hot tea.  (I don't even know if this is a thing, but it's got to be, right?  I mean, seriously, there is pumpkin flavored everything, so someone must have made hot tea...right?)

~ Bake new pumpkin flavored things.  (Okay, I know pumpkin flavored everything is kind of looked-down on, kinda like selfies these days.  But ya' know what? I'm the home schooled girl who is like, erm, I'd say, 3 years behind everybody else.  I've never drank a pumpkin spice latte.  I just got my first smart phone this year.  And I've never really made or eaten many things pumpkin.  So this is the year.)

~ Write a fall poem.

~ Get a pair of cute boots.  (Okay, another thing I'm behind the times on.  I've never had cute boots.  I am going to do this. *deep breath*  ps.  If you guys have any boots you've really liked, let me know.  I'm walking into unknown territory.)

~ Make glitter leaves.  (I saw these on Pinterest.  Are they perfect, or are they perfect?



~ Paint my nails in fall designs

~ Have a Autumn photo shoot (with piles of leaves, pumpkins, etc.)

~ Make applesauce.  (Has anyone every done this?!)

~ Make caramel apple cheesecake cookies.  (THESE ARE A THING!!! click for link)

~And get fall scented candles and hand sanitizer  (From none other than my favorite store to waste money in, Bath and Body Works)

So those are some of the things I want to do this fall!  Do you all have any fall goals?  Do you have ANY advice, inspiration, etc?  Does anyone want to go shopping with me!? ;) Haha

Anyway, just for this to count as a barely Tacit Tuesdays, here are a couple pictures I took today. ;)


 HOT CHOCOLATE!!  =D


Cats and Fall go hand in hand. =)

This is the lowest it's been in forever.  Fall weather!!

You all are probably so sick of these kind of pictures.  You can say it. =P XD

Me footie socks...I told you I was cold!

And me in my polar bear sweat shirt! =)
Well that's about it.  Happy First Day of Autumn, everyone!  How was the weather where you live? =)

    3. Cool! Yeah, leaves are falling here too. It's both sad and exciting all at once. Haha, okay. Oh, we have a really awesome mall that we go to in NC at Concord Mills. IT'S AMAZING!!! Ahh, we should go to each others malls! *squee!* lol Have you heard of a store called Charming Charlies? They are an accessory store, which means they have nail polish, jewelery, scarves, etc, and it is sorted in the store by color! So you can go to the pink section and it had everything pink! And then the orange section. And the blue section. And the yellow section ;) =D

When can I catch a flight up to there so I can see it? ;) They don't have them here. =( *Bangs head on table* Jess, you need to tell them to build one down here because that sounds Awesome. =( Are the Purple and Pink sections next to eachother? Because then I would just go and sit inbetewn them, soaking in the awesomeness. =)

    2. Sure! I'll get those recipes for you and send them to you on Facebook or email soon! Maybe you could do a recipe review? ;) Hmm... Pumpkin spice applesauce sounds good! We usually just do cinnamon in ours. I don't think hot chocolate would taste very good.. :P oh! okay! "Hey, Jess, what size do you wear? I just found some adorable boots in 7 1/2!" * background mall music* ;)
