Happy October! My favorite season is officially here! The start of my favorite month, and what could possibly be BABY MONTH — is off to chilly start here in the desert. 70 degrees may not sound cool to lots of ya’ll, but to us desert rats — it’s sweater season around here! 😉 Anyways, to say this season holds change for us would be a drastic understatement. With the arrival of our baby boy in just a few short weeks, this season is sure to be our most exciting, life- changing and beautiful yet! And knowing that baby boy will be here during the peek of the fall season (and possibly before Halloween), I wanted to write down an autumn bucket list of what I would like to do during his very first and incredibly special season with us (even if some of these might be done before his arrival!). Without further ado —
Autumn 2018
- Decorate our home for Autumn/Halloween
- Carve a pumpkin
- Roast pumpkin seeds
- Watch Hocus Pocus, Casper & The Addams Family
- Have a hot apple cider
- Go to a pumpkin patch

- Celebrate the love of my life’s 30th birthday
- Give birth to our baby boy — 😉
- Take our first set of family photos!
- Go on lots of morning/evening walks
- Celebrate the little guy’s first Thanksgiving with family and friends
- Learn how to properly sling/wear baby boy

I would love to hear all about what’s on our Autumn bucket list this year? Pumpkin patches and corn mazes? Fall baking? Drives to see the leaves! Let a very pregnant gal know!
