Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. From apple picking to walks on a chilly morning, the season really brings me joy. To get the full effect, putting up fall decorations around the house seemed fitting. Then, I was left to decide how to make the front porch inviting and give it a fall makeover.

I am a gal of routine, but sometimes it is just time for a change. I like to make goals throughout the year and those goals can only be reached if new routines are created. With my most recent goal, I had to make the decision to change just about everything I do in the mornings; including less coffee and more water, with the help of drink mixes.

I know I have said it before, and I will say it again: I am very routine and schedule driven. Each day has numerous routines. Everything has to be scheduled out on various calendars. That’s just the way it has to be. That’s the only way I can manage my busy family.

Effortless Meals from Walmart for Busy Weeknights

Family dinners at the dinner table are important to me. Growing up, my parents always tried to make sure we all made time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. It allowed use time to chat and be together in one place, no matter how busy we were. Now with three kids and a husband, I try to do the same thing.
