It's Fall!

Don't you love how all of us women copy each other? We see our girlfriend with a great pair of shoes and we run out to get the same! We trade recipes, copy each other's decor and buy the same exact things while shopping together. I love it! It's like we are our very own tribe and that's why I love our church plant team so much! All of us women have the same things in our homes, cook the same meals and teach one another the tricks to having fun while being the heart of our homes. This is called doing life together and today I realize how blessed I am to be where I am at. Last year at this time, I lacked this fun little tribe of women and I gotta tell you, I was missing out big time!

Every year around this time, I decorate my home for Fall. I never did this until I met my friend Carrie. And to show you how we are all connected, Carrie's husband is the Pastor of the church I used to attend and Kyle (my pastor now) was the executive pastor there. They actually lived next door to one another so that is how I know Kyle and Erika. Isn't that neat?! Anyway, Carrie is the one that taught me how to decorate for Fall. She's the one that taught me about the Hobby Lobby 50% off sales that happen weekly. She's the one that showed me how to display a little bit of Fall all over my house. I've always done it for Christmas but now I have learned to do it for Fall and it is a blast. Carrie and Erika BOTH are two women that have truly inspired me in my home. So I wanted to share my Fall decor pictures with you just like I did last year! I hope you are inspired and copy everything, if you like it! Oh and for those of you that are not signed up for Hobby Lobby's weekly emails (they come early Sunday morning to your inbox), sign up on their website. Fall Stuff is between 40-50% off right now and they have a 40% off coupon on any item. You would not believe all the stuff that is 50%. The items change weekly but the frames are ALWAYS 50% off. So all of the frames in my house come from there (another trick Carrie taught me). Needless to say, the women in my group are Hobby Lobby addicts! Just wait until Christmas! Start buying a little here and there and come time to decorate for Christmas, you will be shocked what you have!

Waiting to put this year's pumpkin patch picture in there of the kids! Kelly Ann got this frame for me! (Kelly Ann, this blog post is mainly so you can see my Fall decor for this year! Good grief, I miss our Hobby Lobby trips!)

Yes, even on top of the fridge!

I put this in the half bath downstairs. Nothing much, just a little something!

The crew is coming over tonight to eat and I was in charge of a desert so I made a Pumpkin pie. Then we are going to the Friday night Football game! And do you see my crust protectors? These are the best when making pumpkin pies because they cook so long and you don't want your crust to burn. I use these after fifteen minutes of bake time. You can buy these at Wal Mart but these are from Pampered Chef. (Thanks Mom. I love them!) Oh and Jeremy just saw this blog over my shoulder and he can't believe I am showing the dirty oven. :)
