For my last post in September, here are 30 things for each day in this month that make me feel cozy in the fall…It’s my favorite time of year! Do any of these resonate with you?

-When I’m chilly and you get into your car that has been warmed by the sun.

-The first time I use a throw blanket for the season. My recent favorite is one you can see from the picture above that I bought from Target a few years ago. I’m totally into the rust color for fall! 

-The sound of crickets (or cicadas?) when the sun goes down.

-Wearing shorts or a skirt with an oversized sweatshirt.

-The smell of cinnamon.

-Taking a warm drink in my Yeti when I run errands instead of a cold one.

-Starting a spooky read for the fall season.

-Using a fall soap in the bathroom.

-Catching a warm ray of unexpected sunshine on your skin.

-Cooking the first cozy weather meal of the year. It may be my awesome steak chili! 

-Putting on fuzzy socks with my PJs.

-Lighting the first fall candle of the season.

-In our new house, we have a small patio with a fireplace. We already tested it on a chilly night. Talk about feeling cozy!

-Cuddling with my cat (when he lets me)

-Waking up when there’s a chill in the air and you grab the covers under your neck for a burst of warmth.

-Driving in my warm car and cracking the window for a cool smell of fall air.

-Soup

-Buying a new fall sweater.

-Seeing the first preview of the spooky movie lineup.

-Decorating for fall on a rainy day.

-Drinking chai tea.

-Seeing the bright blue sky on a chilly day.

-Wearing jeans for the first time in months.

-The sound of rustling leaves.
