Monthly Musings ~ September 2024

 It is time for the September Monthly Musings all about fall routines and fashion.


1.  What are your best tips for getting into a fall routine?
These are just a few things to incorporate as the weather gets cooler:
Light a fall candle
Take a walk outside
Start thinking of Christmas gift ideas
Purge items in your home
Watch a good movie/series on tv you have been putting off during summer

2.  Please share your favorite fall recipes.  
One of my favorite fall recipes is chocoloate chip pumpkin bread.

3.  Favorite fall fashion staples?
My favorite fall fashions staples are cardigans and dresses and boots.  As winter comes, I wear more sweaters/sweatshirts.

4.  Favorite part of back to school this year?
I do think overall, people like to have routine and school seems to provide that.  Not having kids at home, back to school doesn't change anything of my daily routine, except I have to account for the extra traffic when I drive to work.

5. Do you celebrate Homecoming where you are?
Since I don't have kids in school, I don't celebrate homecoming at football games.

6.  Apple pie or apple cider?
I will just take a regular apple.  I don't care for applie pie or cider.

7.  Do the leaves change colors where you live?  If so, when?
The fall colors usually change mid-late October.  They are beautiful! 
Here is a great link to see when the colors are predicted in your area!
 I was able to see a few leaves already changing when I was in the NC mountains last weekend.

8.  Favorite fall sweet treat?
I love a bag of autumn mix, which is a mix of candy corn and mellowcreme pumpkins.  However, I have to limit myself to only buy it once a season.  Other than that, I don't really change my treats for the season.  I eat frozen yogurt year round :).

9.  Hayride or bonfire?
I would probably prefer a bonfire because it seems like a time for people to gather and visit. 

10.  Movies that give you all the back to school feels?
I think of When Harry Meets Sally as a classic fall movie.  As far as back to school, I think of Breakfast Club, 16 Candles and Ferris Bueller's Day off.

Have a great Thursday!

  2. That mix looks good. Candy corn is so sweet that I enjoy it paired with something a little salty. Your getting ready for fall ideas are really good. Your pumpkin bread looks good- will check that recipe out!

  4. That's a great map for fall foliage! I've never seen that before. I'm excited to be in Colorado during their peak season for leaves. I laughed over the fact that you eat froyo all year round! These were fun to read.
