In honor of what I'm loving Wednesday, I thought I would make a fall bucket list. Most things that I am loving today have to do with my favorite season, so I thought I would make a bucket list of things I fully intend on doing this fall. :) (I may or may not have borrowed this idea from another blogger)
1. Drink a moderate amount of PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES! I love Starbucks. And Dutch Bros. Like there should be a facebook official relationship status for our undying love. Sometimes I get a little carried away which results in an unhappy bank account AND number on the scale. (I think many of us can relate) So I am going to try to practice self control and use them as a treat, rather than a daily necessity. Gonna be a tough one.
2. Since the weather is (supposed to be) getting cooler, I feel more inclined to relax with a snuggie (which is also on this season's bucket list) and a good book. I love, love, love to read but have a hard time finding time. SO on my bucket list this fall is the goal to read lots more. I am currently reading the Harry Potter books since I have seen the movies but not read the books. Books= way better. If any of you smarty pants have a great book suggestion throw it my way! :)
3. Take Ri baby to the pumpkin patch! This is one of my favorite things. She obviously won't remember but I sense some adorable pictures coming from a cute little trip like this.
4. Carve pumpkins! Messy, but fun. I have also been searching for some other great pumpkin decorating activities on good ole' Pinterest.
5. Make those disgusting tasting yet so cute and fun Halloween sugar cookies. My nephew Xavier is seriously OBSESSED with Halloween. He watches Halloween movies year round and also asks if it's Halloween yet almost every day. So I think some Halloween cookie decorating is in the future for us.
6. Watch some college football! Wahhoooooo! Now we all know how great the Vandal football team is, but regardless, I would like to keep up with it more this year. We can still have fun, right? It's the thought that counts. ;)
7. Go to the Haunted World/Haunted House/Corn Maze/Etc. ONE of those things. I am a huge scaredy-cat and haven't been since high school, but I think I'm ready to go back so I can get my fix and be completely traumatized for the next 5 years.
8. Take my cute little pumpkin trick-or-treating! Once again, too young to remember, but too cute to not go and take a billion pictures. Any cute Halloween costume ideas?
9. Make lots of yummy, healthy crockpot recipes! My crockpot is my homeboy. That's pretty much the only way I cook. And I have found a ton of yummy fall soup recipes on Pinterest that I'm excited to try!
10. Last but definitely not least, take Ri Ri's 6 month pictures! Yay! She will be 6 months at the end of September so I am going to have my sister-in-law take some cute fall pictures of my little monkey. Stay tuned. :)
