I grew up in a home where each and every season was celebrated and enjoyed. I remember coming home from school on a cold October day only to find bread baking in the oven and to see that my Mother had gotten all of the fall/Halloween decorations out.
I can still remember the feelings of excitement I felt. Not much has changed after all these years. I still get little butterflies of excitement in my tummy as an upcoming holiday is approaching.
I now get to see that same excitement in my children. About a month ago (Middle of August) My little Winnter Grace came to me and said......

I now get to see that same excitement in my children. About a month ago (Middle of August) My little Winnter Grace came to me and said......Winnter: Mom I think it's time we get the Fall decorations out.
Me: Well I think we can wait a few more weeks.
Thanks to my Mother who instilled in me a love for the seasons!!!!!
Love you MOM!
Winnter: I found a few changing leaves today mom.
Me: Where?
Winnter: Right here....She takes me to the backyard and shows me one little leaf that was starting to change. In her mind, this meant that Fall was here.
Next thing I know she has all of the Holiday boxes out.
It's worth taking the time to get boxes of decorations out and place little reminders of Halloween, Christmas, and Easter around the house. I hope to creat lifelong memories.
Thanks to my Mother who instilled in me a love for the seasons!!!!!
Love you MOM!

Your house looks amazing! I always admire people who have the natural ability to decorate and make the simplest arrangement of flowers look ornate. We love fall around here too and are SOOOOOO happy to be able to enjoy it this year. Did I mention that it's nice to have a fall in October rather than the 95 degrees in phoenix. Love Kansas city! :) Take care!
