I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings. The topic is all things fall and Halloween fun.
Here are the questions:
- Favorite fall traditions? I always decorate my front stoop with pumpkins and mums once fall arrives. I like making different soups for dinner and baking pumpkin bread or muffins. I love sipping a warm drink while reading a good book. Taking a car ride to see the leaves change color.
- How do you celebrate Halloween? I don't decorate my house anymore for Halloween. I used to when my daughter was little. I do wait for the kids in the neighborhood to arrive and hand out Halloween candy.
- Favorite fall recipes - Please share links. Here are a few fall recipes that I like to make.
- Favorite fall pieces? I love wearing jeans or leggings with sweaters, sweatshirts, or a short sleeve top with a long sleeve plaid button down shirt. I usually wear black sneakers and black or brown low boots.
- How do you decorate for fall? I usually decorate my mantel with cute fall decorations. I put out mums and pumpkins on my front stoop.
- Pumpkin spice? Oh yes or over it? I like having a hot pumpkin spice latte drink at least once for fall.
- Thoughts on candy corn? I don't like eating it but I've seen people use it to decorate their homes.
- Favorite fall/Halloween movies? Disneys Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus, It's the Great Pumpkin-Charlie Brown.
- Apple pie, pumpkin pie, or cider donut? I love all three of these sweet desserts. I usually have apple pie and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I will have a pumpkin or apple cider donut at least once during the season.
- Bonfire, hayride, or haunted house? I think all of these would be fun.

Happy to read your fall traditions Julie. Fall is all about falling leaves, cooler temps, pumpkins, soups, and apple pie or pumpkin pie. Happy fall.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun things coming up for fall. I am a summer girl but I am looking forward to fall and the colors changing. Have a good rest of the week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year and I love doing all of the above! I still do a little Halloween decorating and I just pulled those decorations out. Now where to put them all? I like decorating my mantle as the focal point and then adding in little touches around the house. I could go for an apple cider donut right now! Thank you for sharing all of your fall activities!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us this month Julie! I think I am going to have to check out Disney's Haunted Mansion at your suggestion. Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of the same decorating ideas and clothing options.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. Great minds think alike!
DeleteAll of your fall recipes sound amazing! I need to try that crockpot lasagna asap- thanks for sharing Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly. The crockpot lasagna is good one, and I will have to make it too!
DeleteI still pull out just a few Halloween decorations, but not nearly as many as when the kids were little. I'm interested to see how much trick or treating we will get in the new neighborhood. Our old area had fewer and fewer kids going around each year! This post got me in the mood for fall!
ReplyDeleteYour Crockpot White Bean Soup with Sausage looks delicious. I've seen candy corn in pretty glass jars as a home décor item.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela, fall is a great time for making soup and comfort foods. I hope you have a happy fall.
DeleteHappy fall - and thanks for the link to good fall recipes! I've seen so many from the link-up:)
ReplyDeleteHappy fall Jennifer, and it's the perfect time for making soups and baking. Thanks for visiting my blog.
DeleteI love all your fall traditions, Julie! It sounds like you have a lot of fun fall activities planned. Happy Fall!!
ReplyDeleteI liked reading all your answers, Julie. I’m hoping October will bring cooler temperatures here so I can enjoy soups and hot drinks!
ReplyDeleteI love a good button down plaid shirt, especially if it's flannel!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this time of year and love your round up. Excited to decorate this fall (almost done) and love handing out candy!!

Fun to read about everything you love for fall, Julie! I love fall, too, especially the beauty of the leaves and the delicious treats. The cooler weather makes me want to bake something. x K
ReplyDeleteYou know my fall loving heart loves this post! Those recipes sound amazing and give me all the fall treats! I’m always on the hunt for a good apple cider doughnut but they are hard to find around here it’s going to be my goal this year to find a good one, lol!
ReplyDeleteOff to check out your fall recipes. We just bought a bunch of apple cider donuts and apple cider.
ReplyDeleteLove Fall - could not live somewhere where the seasons do not change. Your post was fun to read! I decorate for Fall, and yesterday pulled out some Halloween things to put in the mix. The recipes sound wonderful. I love apple cider donuts...a farm stand near here make the best ones and we just had some yesterday. We don't get trick or treaters any longer...but still enjoy the candy !!!
