This post may contain affiliate links, regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

It's true, I'm usually pretty disappointed as summer comes to an end... but this year I'm more than a little excited for fall to roll around. While Florida doesn't really change all that much with the seasons, I do remember the stark difference in the midwest as autumn days became a part of my life and I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic about traditional fall festivities.

And well, we all know I'm not just excited about the past, I'm more than overjoyed that a few weeks before the fall solstice my little bundle of joy will be arriving... I mean could there be anything more exciting?!

I won't make this post all about her arrival though, there's way too much fall fun to be had to discuss my pregnancy in detail - I'll save that for another post.
