HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!

The first day of fall is hereeee! *Cue happy dance!* If you love this season, what are you most excited about? I'm looking forward to cooler days, sweater weather, and even more family time outside (heat stroke days be gone!).

As a kid, summer was my always my favorite season. The days seemed endless: no school, watching our favorite shows, and music video marathons all day, IYKYK. But now as an adult with my own family, this time of year brings me so much joy. With the onset of fall, you know the holidays are right around the corner! Every year, I look forward to making memories with my loved ones and cherishing what matters most.

Is your fall decor up yet? If not, take the time to get started this weekend. Get the kids involved and make it a family event! One of my favorite traditions is decorating with my daughter, Leah. She loves to help Mommy make things look pretty, and she really is the best helper! We got an early start this year, so our fall decor as been up since Labor Day. (Hey! That's our business! #nojudgmentzone) My theory is this: why spend all that time and energy decorating to only enjoy it for a couple weeks? I put my decor up early in order to have a full two months of fall, followed by a full two months of Christmas decor, which goes out Nov. 1st! I've been doing it this way for the past several years, and it works really well for me! I love it! Plus you get a little break between the seasons, which kind of run together. If you need a little decorating inspiration, visit me on social (@leahandkodesigns) to see lots of fall decor.

All that to say, do what makes you happy! Let's enjoy this last quarter of the year. Find the time for some rest and joy this season.

Let the countdown to Christmas begin!!!

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!
