Fall in our Home!

Phase one of fall decorating went down in our home last weekend. As much as I wanted to run to Home Depot and fill up 3 shopping carts worth of mum and pumpkins, I behaved myself and focused on the inside of the house. Maybe this weekend...

Along with every one of my Instagram friends, I made our fall wreath over the weekend! Got everything from Michaels for $15!

Five on Friday: Fall Edition

Happy Friday! After back-to-back weekends of traveling, I am so excited to spend this weekend at home decorating the house for fall, baking some treats and spending time with Matt's parents who are coming to visit us on Saturday! It should be a great weekend!

 If you're not ready to fully embrace autumn yet, I apologize for the heavy fall theme today. I was flipping through some old blog posts and found {this post}, an oldie but a goodie, and instantly got fall fever!
So let's get down to what I've been loving this week...   - ONE - PSL. Is it just me, or do you never get sick of seeing PSL instagram pictures? I am so happy the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks and I have definitely been taking advantage of this warm {or iced} treat!

  - TWO -Since Bath & Body Works is running their 5 soaps for $15 sale, I stocked up on some fall soaps for the house. Confession - I purchased the "Keep Calm & Carve On Soap" 100% because of the design - too cute to pass up.

- THREE - Last night I picked up fresh cut pasta and sauce from one of our favorite places, Pasta & Provisions, and discovered their new seasonal menu items - Pumpkin Ravioli & Butternut Squash Ravioli! Looks like we are going to be eating lots of pasta this season! 

Side note: One of the first dates that Matt and I shared was picking out pasta & sauces from here and cooking together at home. :)   - FOUR - Pumpkin Spice M&M's - no description needed.

- FIVE -  I've purchased all of the ingredients to make Matt's favorite fall breakfast this weekend - Apple Spice Pancakes!

You can find the Apple Spice Pancake recipe {here}! 

Happy Weekend!
