One of the most difficult things for me about my Hubby being stationed in Southern California is the lack of seasons. Yes, it’s sunny 90% of the time. And yes, it never dips below 65 degrees. But we also never have the coming season to look forward to! When it’s hot and sunny and humid, I can’t wait for the cool, crisp days of fall. And as fall begins to turn into winter, I can’t WAIT for that first snow. But here in SoCal. It’s the same. All the time. And it’s very boring. So to counteract this, I’ve turned to decorating for the seasons in a big way. I’m leaving my summer decor up for a few more weeks, but then I’m busting about the fall decor (well…just for a few weeks and then it’s the Halloween decor, but that’s a whole separate blog post).
I’ve been cruising my favorite decorating blogs the last few days looking for ways to add to my fall decor, and I found this fabulous post from the Nester on how to make this $5.00 fall wreath!

This guy is bound to be a fantastic addition to my fall decor!
). I tried to only use my computer when absolutely necessary; no caffeine; no alcohol; no TV unless I was intentionally watching something. It felt so good! While I was feeling a little cabin fever towards the end of the week, I did take the time to watch a whole lotta movies that were on my list and I read The Help. It was the first time I’d sat and read a book in less than a week in a long time…and it felt great. I think every once in a while it does the mind and body good to do a little detox like that. And as we launch into the schoolyear, the timing couldn’t have been better. It definitely feels great to go into this time of year feeling refreshed!
