Ahh, fall is officially here!! Happy October, my friends!! October has always been one of my favorite months of the year, but thats because fall is my absolute favorite season! If you’re new here, I live in northern Indiana, so we get all 4 seasons, and I cannot wait until the leaves start turning a little more and the crisp air moves in. Now later this month I’m sure I’ll talk about my favorite outside fall activities but lets start indoors!
Everyone loves a cozy night in, there is just something about it that is so relaxing. Those cozy fall nights are something else though, almost rejuvenating. It’s still on the hotter side here where I’m at, but soon the cool air will move in and I’ll be begging my husband to have a cozy night in with me.
I’m a simple girl, and it doesn’t take much to make it a great cozy night. I love candles, especially the fall fragrances. Currently I’m using the fragrance Autumn in my living room, Flannel in my kitchen & Pumpkin Cupcake in our bedroom. These are all bath and body works candles, I really only use those primarily. I love how the 3-wick ones burn so evenly and give off such a great fragrance.
As my candles burn I’ll be in the kitchen cooking on of our favorite soups or chili! My husband loves the chicken corn chowder that I made, it’s a hardy soup, we don’t like them very runny. Sometimes I’ll make cornbread as well, but I usually only make that when I make chili. On occasion I’ll buy apple cider, but it tends to be more expensive for even half a gallon so I’ll usually just be drinking sweet tea with my dinner. I love to bake year round, but those fall desserts are everyone’s favorite! Although I love my pumpkin treats, I’m a sucker for apple desserts of any kind! I love making apple pie or apple crisp especially heated up with ice cream on top! So yummy!!
After dinner we may pop in a movie or turn on TV or Netflix. My husband and I have mainly similar styles of shows but we would probably agree with watching Fraiser or Cheers on Netflix. We love the older shows, myself especially. No matter what we watch, it’s just fun to sit and relax with my hubby, and now that our little girl is with us, it makes it even more fun! Soon the freedom to watch the shows we want to will be more strict and we will have a movie on for the kiddo, but we will have a little control over that so it won’t be too bad. 😉
Like I said, I’m a simple girl, and it doesn’t take much to make a cozy night in whether it’s Autumn or another season. Are you a homebody like me?
Thanks for reading!!
