It's officially Fall, ya'll! I know fall is a favorite time of year for so many people, but I'm going to be honest here... I have mixed feelings about it. Sure, I love some of the same aspects all of you do - things like cooler temperatures, leaves changing, fall decorating, pumpkin patches and apple picking, sweatshirts or sweaters, apple cider and the occasional pumpkin spice items. Yes, I love soups and hearty crockpot meals that warm us from the inside out. However, I also have a sense of sadness as Fall creeps in because I know Winter is just around the corner. But this year, unlike most, I'm trying not to see it that way. I'm trying to focus finding the good in each and every day, enjoying the seasons for what they truly are. I've always thought Spring was such an exciting time because the trees and flowers come back to life, we shake off that cooped up stale feeling from being inside all winter, and we get to take a deep breath of fresh Spring air to fill our lungs. Much how I've viewed Fall as the precursor to Winter, I've always looked at Spring as just the beginning of all the great things to come over the summer. But who's to say wonderful and exciting new things can't begin at any moment? So that's what I'm going with this year. Embracing all the opportunities and moments of happiness the world has to offer, regardless of what the date on the calendar says. ❤
It's no secret that I haven't been on top of my meal planning game these past few months. Where on earth August and September vanished to, I'm still not certain. But not only is October here and my meal plan created, I've also already done the grocery shopping and prep work for this week too! So here's to hoping I have my act together this month and that maybe sharing this meal plan can make your life a little less hectic too!
