Falling in Love with Autumn

For as long as I can remember, I ranked summer #1, but after living in San Francisco for the past year, fall has taken the cake. Unfortunately summers in the city just don't quite feel like summers. Fall on the other hand couldn't be more perfect. Here are some of my favorite things about the autumn season that make this time of year so enjoyable. 

1. Soy Chai Latte's... it's like your sipping on the fall season.

2. Everything pumpkin... from carving to cooking to baking, pumpkins make this time of year magical. I can't wait to try this recipe for Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Bread from Big Girls, Small Kitchen.

3. School supplies... even after being out of school for over a year, sharpened pencils and fresh binders still make the list.

4. Rainy nights with a good book and a cozy blanket... self explanatory. Can't wait to get home and do exactly that with The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain.

5. Last, but not least, the changing of colors and the crispness in the air make autumn look and feel as if something special has just begun. 

Not to mention, everything great about fall is just the precursor to the best holiday of all... Christmas! My list for that holiday will be much longer :) Hope you are all having wonderful Tuesday's! Enjoy the season with a cup of tea or coffee and a nice piece of pumpkin bread! xx
