My Cozy Little List

I was visiting Melissa over at The Inspired Room today and she made a little list of 20 things to treasure in Autumn. I loved it so much I figured I would join the party and tell you what I love about fall! So here it is!



  1. Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte...yummy!
  2. Chicken Pot Pie
  3. Yankee Candle's Harvest candle (you knew this one would be on the list!) and candlelight
  4. Fires in fireplaces
  5. Football games wrapped in a fleece blanket
  6. Mulling spices from Williams-Sonoma in apple cider
  7. Sweatshirt and jeans weather
  8. Family dinners
  9. Coming into a warm house on a cold night
  10. Falling Leaves
  11. Big pots of white chili...and other stews
  12. Apple crisp
  13. Pumpkin patches and pumpkin carving
  14. Hayrides and corn mazes
  15. Cinnamon and nutmeg
  16. Snuggling in a blanket covered bed
  17. Flannel PJ pants
  18. Sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar
  19. Freshly baked pies
  20. Cherished moments with family and friends
What would be on your list? What do you most look forward to about the turning of the seasons? If you decide to make your own list, Melissa's hosting a Mr. Linky party so head over and share the things you love!

On a different note, I think I'm finally getting used to sharing a bed with someone else. For the longest time, I couldn't sleep well if I knew another person was there. But last night I woke up around 4 a.m. tucked tightly under Hubby's arm, snuggled against his side. I don't remember how I got there.

Great idea! I love your list, I realized after I published mine that I could've gone on for 100 things. Maybe I should have added a Mr. Linky so everyone can make their lists!

Happy nesting,
Melissa

Ok, I added Mr. Linky to my post (better late than never!) and put you as the first one on the list. This will be great fun! Thanks for the great inspiration! I love Autumn!

Blessings,
Melissa

Your list has some of my favorite things on it too- I just wish I had trees with great fall color in my area
Thanks for sharing

I love your list. And I'm surprised the candle is all the way down at number 3 :)

Corinne said...

I love your list, especially #18...I can smell them now! mmmmm

Joy said...

Love the list! Can't decide which is my favorite... also thought your note about snuggling with your hubby was cute. I'm still getting used to it as well, but I love finding myself in hubby's teddy bear arms in the morning... makes the nighttime restlessness worth it, don't you think??
Loved your post!

I stumbled over here via your link at The Inspired Rooma and I love your blog! I was inspired to create a picture heading for my own blog post about fall after visiting your site (although I like how yours stretches out more!).

oooo Love the pumpkin spice lattes. I could just drink the syrup alone (well almost) AND love Yankee Candle too. Anthing that smells like Im cooking in the kitchen works for me.

What a great list! Thank you for inspiring Melissa to invite us all to do the same. Oh, and one of the things I didn't list on mine but still holds true--I've been married 26 years and snuggling close to my honey on cold night is still the best. Enjoy married life! ~Kathy

KJ said...

I can see that we all have many favorite things in common. I agree with Melissa that I could have gone on and on. I had to force myself to stop at 20! Isnt' this a wonderful season?

Love the design of your blog and the romance here!

I loved #9! That's such a simple comfort, but always deeply appreciated.

Bettsi said...

Good list! You made me hungry for apple crisp!

Kelly said...

Yum for apple crisp! That's one of my favs, too, and I didn't even include it...consider my list 21 things to treasure to autumn. ;o)

Have a blessed week!

Love your Autumn list!

I loved your list! Apple Crisp,YUM!
I still love cuddling under my husbands arm even years later. I am glad you added cherished family memories as I realized that is what most of my list is about.
Enjoy this beautiful season,

stumbled upon your blog through Melissa at inspired room as well as blissfully domestic. I love your list and I am on my way to creating my own list. I recently got married as well. I love your comment about waking up cuddled next to your husband. I think they is one of the best feelings.

Come In!

If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!
