You guys! I found this sweater for just $4.00 at Loft! Can you believe that?! I promise it’s even cuter in person, the pictures really don’t do it complete justice.

Oh October you’ve come again. This time of year can be particularly hard for my family as we are entering into the month that holds the painful memories of losing our Dad. This October marks 5 years.

Fall Bucket List

Leave a Comment / September 2016 / By

Fall is without a doubt my favorite season and I know that I certainly do not stand alone when I say that! Everyone seems to love Fall! As I thought about why I decided that F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best when he said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall.”
