The days are getting shorter in sunny San Diego and finally feeling like fall. With a chill in the air, I can now drink a cup of coffee or soup without breaking a sweat and hide my muffin top under sweat-shirts as I feed it lots of carbs (winter-coat fluffing; primitive survival). My obsession with creating a cozy house for my crew is being fueled each day by too much time spent on Pinterest and an overabundance of cinnamon scent exposure *courtesy of the Vons floral department.Because time seems to tick faster as my kids grow older, I've set out to be methodical in my Autumn aspirations this year. Time is indeed a treasure and I want to make good use of my days, creating lasting memories with my family. This fall, I've made a list of everything I feel is necessary in making the most of my favorite season. I have all the best intentions of marking off each activity as the days fade away, but we shall see how it goes. So far, here's whats on the agenda:
4ACE CrewFall Plans 2012
- Apple Picking in Julian
- Pumpkin Patch @ Bates Nut Farm
- Autumn Nature walk with the crew ~ collecting things for autumn crafts
- Splash in rain puddles with the kids
- Play soccer in the mud after a downpour
- Make at least 5 fall treats from my Pinterest Board (coco@inspiremecoco)
- Wine tasting with my girlfriends.
- Minimum of 4 hot dates with The Husband, *venturing out to new places
- Fall Family Pictures
- Bi-weekly Bible studies with my babies
- Watch a football game or two with the husband for more than 5 minutes
- Read 2 new books
- Feed/clothe the homeless
- Pray more, worry less
- Cultivate a heart replete with thankfulness
- Passionately kiss my husband in the pouring rain (for a minimum of 2 minutes), followed by spiced apple cider and a movie by the fire.
So there you have it. My Autumn Aspirations. Because life is never picture perfect, it will be interesting to see how this turns out :)
Hey, I can have hopes...I'll keep you posted. xo
