MUG EXCHANGE
I remember the days when we would get together for a gift exchange, which usually coincided with Christmas time. Nowadays you can plan a scarf exchange, favorite things party, or you can do what we did this past weekend and get together for a mug exchange! My sister and I had discussed it in the past after coming across the idea on some social media post. Since I was going to be in town this weekend we decided what a perfect way to roll into the fall season with a new mug for your favorite hot beverage! So this past Sunday evening, four other ladies and I gathered at a local coffee shop ready to exchange our mugs. We even added a $5 gift card to a favorite coffee shop as a little extra! We discussed how we wanted to do the exchange and decided on reciting a fun poem which would have us hand off the mug to the person who best fit the description of each paragraph in the poem! This was a lot of fun but once everyone had a mug in hand, we decided to kick it up a notch and re-exchange white elephant style! I think everyone was happy with what they got and I can see this becoming an annual tradition!

WEEKEND RECAP
After spending the last few days with my family, I made the 4 hour trek back to my home sweet home today. The reason for this trip was to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday, but I made sure to squeeze in some other fun as well, to include a fall craft and mug exchange (separate post coming soon)!

These ladies are just too much fun! |
I stayed up way past my bed time and was struggling to get up on Sunday morning. After a tasty breakfast, we managed to make it to church and then my sister in law and I went to the local Michaels for a crafting class. We made a flower arrangement which we inserted inside of a pumpkin. Perfect addition to my fall decor!
Once we completed our craft, we headed to the mall to look for a dress. I have an event coming up next weekend and had yet to decide what I was going to wear. After looking at a few options I got real lucky and scored a killer deal on this dress right here. I instantly fell in love with a color, which I was surprised by considering I gravitate towards black dresses most of the time. Stay tuned for event photos!

FALL BUCKET LIST
Well it's officially fall! Now I won't lie, summer has always been my favorite season, but there is something about the crisp air, colorful leaves, sweaters and boots that make me smile. I compiled a list of things I want to do this season and while I kept it basic, it gives me something to look forward to!
Host a bonfire with s'mores
Bake for others
Go on a weekend getaway
Try a new soup recipe
Make a fall wreath
Purchase fall scented candles
Mug exchange (happening this weekend)
Attend a fall festival, pumpkin patch or corn maze
What's on your list?
