10. Season premiers. I’m not much of a TV gal…other than the fact that I have the kids tucked in early and a glass of wine ready for Blind Spot tonight. Oh…and check out the Bravo scripted series(s). Girlfriend’s Guide and that hilarious awkward mom show are the perfect thing to watch in the other room while your hubby paces watching football.
9. Chai tea lattes. I know for most it’s pumpkin spice everything from lattes to cereals to scented tampons. But for me, Chai is where it’s at!!
8. No more mosquitos or gnats or horseflies. Or anything that flies, swarms, and bites! No more giant welts and itching and hydrocortisone cream!!
7. Autumn: The best season! And the only Autumn month where we get to truly enjoy pumpkins, burnt orange and burgundy decor, and aisles of candy corn before Santa and his jolly elves take over every damn shelf in the stores. Ho…ho…hold up, St Nick.
6. Cooler temps. Peace out lip sweat. Peace out to that annoying knee pit sweat. (Please tell me I’m not the only one who calls the impossible-to-shave backside of your knee the “knee pit”)
5. The leaves. Someday I’ll see the trees in New England in September. Ahh…I need to get that booked.
4. A schedule. Kids are back in school and practices/lessons start. High-fives to the ladies who get jollies off of following a calendar! Booty bumps to the babes who have a post-it-note covered paper planner that controls their universe. (Yes, paper planners still exist.)
3. I have the urge to cook again! I don’t know if it’s because it’s not 275 degrees next to the oven now. Maybe it’s all of the beautiful squash at the farmers markets…or if my Pinterest time goes up exponentially. But I want to make soups, casseroles, and bread…oh my!
2. Apple orchards. I drag my husband’s happy ass to one every year with the littles. I. Love. Them. Probably tied to fond apple picking memories with my grandparents…or fresh apple crisp…with ice cream.
1. Boots and scarves, ladies. Boots and flipping scarves.
Enjoy all of the glory this month has to offer!
