A little cheer

Growing up in the perfect country home, fall decor was a no-brainer. My Mom always had cozy smelling candles burning, leaves and pumpkins all around the house. I have so many wonderful memories of the fall. I'm not quite sure what it is that gets me so excited about this season (other than the fact that I LOVE cold weather clothes far more than summer clothes, and it means christmas is a comin!!) The house I grew up in was made to be decorated for the fall. And my Mom perfected it every year. This being my first year having a place of my own to decorate, there were several challenges. Nate and I live in a one bedroom blank slate apartment with white walls and two windows. Zero character. Zero coziness. Zero charm. So I ransacked my Mom's fall decor and did manage to add a little touch of fall-coze to our place.

Nate brought these beauts home for me last week:

Mums from my Mum
No fall decor here. I just wanted to brag on how beautifully perfect my husband made our bed.
Now I'm off to finish dinner.... chili and cornbread tonight with this sweet man.
yum yum yum

Perfect

hello again.

Enjoying my Monday off. Blogging time has become non-existent
with the new job and new wife-hood. If I've realized anything over the past few
months it is that I was not created to work a full-time job.

We had a lovely visit this weekend from the Parker's. Lots of laughing, relaxing, apple-pickin' and wii! Since I had some extra time this afternoon I thought I would share some photos from the day.
That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a wonderful monday!

love, alex
