Happy October and happy fall! It's been beautiful here lately and we're embracing fall with all the activities: pumpkin picking, apple picking, hayrides, and a fun family road trip this weekend. I have been soaking in Luca's love and Amalia's enthusiasm for her brother and trying to be as present for the fleeting moments as possible.
I'm pushing this post from last winter up for the beginning of soup season! I'm back on my soup game and can't get enough.
I go back to old recipes over and over and try one new soup recipe a week in the fall/winter. I've been taking notes on each and every one of them for this post and have highlighted only my favorites.
I realize this is a very unpopular opinion but I'm just not that into fall decor *gasp*. Don't get me wrong, I love a good mum/pumpkin situation on a front stoop but the rest of it just isn't for me. I also don't like pumpkin-spiced anything. It's ok, you can stop reading now. I fully realized I've alienated 90% of you in two sentences :)
But in all seriousness, I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and am already thinking about my tablescape so have been doing some Pinterest searching and found a few fall decor ideas I can get behind, compiled in this post.
Yesterday was our official first day of sweata' weatha' here in Connecticut and I finally had the urge to do a little fall shopping. While perusing the internet for Fall Julia, I thought I'd pull together some of the cute things I found.
I bought two dresses for fall: this dress (because I love the collar and cut) but was debating between that one and this floral midi dress.
