Let's Get Autumn Happy!

I had held off for a couple of days. Steve always says I am a wimp with the cold (he's right) and I wasn't going to be the first to put the heating on. Lucky for me he's a total softie when it comes to a certain pink tiny person who lives with us. He caved. The heating is now officially on.

























So summer ends and as I cracked open my winter wardrobe and the first of baby girl's fleecy bodysuits, it occurs to me that autumn is here. I'm not sad. I am ready for this. I love autumn. It's my favourite season, Steve's too. It's why we decided to get married in it.


Though I am aware I am not of the majority so I thought I would put together a little "Autumn Happy" inspiration;

• Hot drinks are better appreciated in the cold
• Cuddles are better appreciated in the cold
• Hats
• Stews, casseroles and roast dinner
• SOCKS! How my toes appreciate their fluffy haven after months exposed to elements in flip flops
• Being cosy
• Euna will need an autumnal wardrobe...
• The feel good factor related to wrapping her up all warm
• Red wine
• Walking in to a warm indoors from a cold outdoors
• Custard
• Cold but sunny days
• Walking
• Nights in feel more justified
• Pies
• No more weather disappointment, it's SUPPOSED to be cold
• Leaves, bright red ones
• Coat shopping
• Entire days on the sofa
• Rediscovering my faithful Uggs and marvelling in that they will last another year
• Mittens
• Films on Sunday afternoons
• Conkers
• The 100 additional calories you can enjoy daily on account of the cold
• Enjoying 200 additional calories daily because your autumn clothes don't judge you like your summer ones do
• Autumn crafts, most of which centre around maple leaves
• Remembering the harvest festival from primary school
• Wind burn
• Leaving the thermostat too high and feeling practically naked walking around in a vest top
• My wedding anniversary
• The excitement of seeing our first autumn as a family, her first Autumn EVER, I love firsts

Anymore? What did I miss? I have just opened my comments up to be from ANYWHERE! So whoever you 100+ people are who are reading me EVERYDAY (thank you thank you thank you) let me know! Give me some Autumn Happy...

Lessons:

1. A lot of my autumn happy evolves around shopping. I need cash.

2. Firsts are exciting.
