My Favorite Things About Fall

Coffee - Coffee always tastes the best on crisp fall mornings and I love to indulge in good coffee. Currently my favorites are Door County Harvest Blend and Starbucks pumpkin spice late.

Pumpkin - pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin pie, pumpkin scones, pumpkin bisque, did I say pumpkin pie?

Dark Denim - I know I don't leave the house most days except for a walk. And even though my clothes usually end up caked in spit-up, I still wear my dark jeans! There is something that screams sexy about fitted dark denim in the fall. Even if I'm a stay-at-home mom with triplets, I still love how my dark jeans make me feel.

High heeled loafers - Once the temperature is in the 50's, my open toed shoes get packed away. No more running to the store in flip-flops! I love the sound of my heels clicking across the grocery store floor, and I don't feel quite as short.

Oranges and Browns - I love wearing these colors and being surrounded by them. They make me feel cozy.

My new favorite thing about fall....
Babies in Halloween outfits! I can't wait till they can go trick-or-treating!

A few new things I'm not so fond of:

All the extra clothes the babies need to wear. Pants and socks are a must now. Plus, Mia is in the habit of constantly pulling up her shirt so she has to have a onsie on under her outfits. Then getting the babies ready to go on a walk is a 15-20 min. ordeal. We have to make sure they have socks on, which they usually have kicked off during the day. The only way to get their socks to stay on is to put shoes over them. Then, they all struggle as we get on their coats. Finally, you spend a good portion of the walk pulling up the little hats and/or hoodies that slip down and cover up their eyes. I'm starting to miss the hot onesie days of summer :)
