Ahhh…it's finally feeling like fall here in Southern California! I heard that it snowed in some places like Utah yesterday. Yeah, that sucks for people that live there! While they're dealing with snow, us Los Angelenos are pulling out the sweaters and boots FINALLY! It's about time. 😉

I am utterly in love with this time of year. I love every season but fall and winter have a special spot in my heart. I've never lived in snowy climates so maybe that's why I love it so much – ha! A couple reasons I love it:

Pumpkin all the things. Of course!
Hot, yummy drinks like hot chocolate or homemade hot wassail .
Fall clothes! Boots/sweaters/scarves – I love it all!
