It's Officially Fall!

Despite the often gray rainy days and seasonal allergies, I love the Fall. I love wearing my jeans again, going to the pumpkin patch with friends, and seeing the leaves start to change colors. There are a lot of fun decorations (especially in October) and treats. I thought I would pull up some of my favorite posts that are great for Fall.
