10 Reasons Why I Love Fall

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Even though I do live in Florida and cold weather does not appear until January, it does become cooler. These are 10 reasons why I love this season (in no particular order).

1. I love the colors of Fall.  In fact my house is decorated mostly in fall colors.

2. Fall Festivals

Ok I want to cry when I look at this picture, because my “little” boy is no longer little and he is now a big middle schooler.

3. Cooler weather.

My favorite pastime is to curl up with a book and a cup of something hot.

6. My Anniversary

This year we celebrated 16 years. Lord knows I could not raise these boys myself and the Lord blessed me with a wonderful husband and a great father to my kids.

7.  Banana Bread
Sure sometimes we have this during other seasons, but we have it more so during the Fall season.

8. Cute, Sassy Boots. Love wearing boots.

These are not my boots, but I have some similar (heel not as high). I love wearing boots during the Fall.

9. Presents for my birthday.

Just wish the presents did not come with adding another year to my life, especially since I only have one more year in my 30′s. But we won’t talk about that, k? This is what my sweet hubby is going to get me.  He forgot the account was in my name, so I received the confirmation email after he ordered it.  But I don’t care I love early birthday presents (my bday is not until the 19th). I am giddy with a capitol “G.”  Any suggestions for Apps?

10. My Favorite Holiday of the Year: THANKSGIVING

It has not been an easy year, but I have so much to be thankful for.

So what do YOU love about Fall?  Why don’t you join me in my BlogFrog Community page, feel free to post Fall Photos also.

Changing of Seasons

Wow it is almost September!  September/October/November are my favorite time of the year.  I love the changing of seasons from summer to fall, and look forward to cooler weather.  Of course here in Florida, cooler weather does not appear until December or January, ha!  I have to admit I am a bit on the stressed side concerning September there is a lot on my plate.


  1. I am very excited about the bible study a group of us at church are working our way through.  I have found studying a bible study teaches you a lot, but teaching a bible study humbles you and places your face on the ground before the Lord.

  2. There are also a number of wonderful books coming out next month (to stay up-to-date click “Follow This Blog” on the right hand side here). I have been reading my heart out and can not wait to share them with you.

  3. I am also on the senior team of a new network for Christian Women called Christian Women Affiliate.  (pronounced Affili8 )  It is not open to the public (or even me yet, ha!) but let me tell you it is going to be a wonderful resource for women.  “Connecting Christian Women with other Christian Women who have Businesses, Blogs, Ministries online. And for connecting the Christian women who are trying to find them,” through the largest most comprehensive directory of Christian Women Online.  That is all I can say for now, but stay tuned!

  4. Ummm I’m being interviewed for the first time.  Yeah, I am worried also!  When writing I can sometimes take back what I said but when being interviewed on a BlogTalk radio show there is no taking back something stupid.  I will be thinking about how my Mom will be listening and counting how many “umm’s” I utter.  ha!  I will let you know more closer to the time, it is not until the middle of September.

  5. The most exciting news of all is welcoming a new pastor and his family into our church. I can not begin to tell you how giddy I am my pastor and his wife have a facebook, a twitter, and they blog. Oh my goodness they are cool and not old! I love it. When I say terms like html, or blogfrog, or wordpress, or blogger…I don’t get a weird look. (Well my husband who does not understand it all still looks at me weird but he loves me so that is ok).



There is more, but needless to say this is all above and beyond laundry, cleaning toilets, dishes, laundry, vacuuming, pulling weeds, laundry, ha… you get the picture. So if this personal blog becomes sporadic this month, you will know why. I am not going anywhere, but daily blogging may not happen. I am always updating Facebook and Twitter though.
