Our Indiana days have been pretty warm this week, but the early mornings and late evenings have been so very fall-like. I know some of you are not ready for fall yet, but it is true that next weekend is Labor Day, so I don't feel like I am terribly premature in offering up some fall ideas for you.
One.
In truth, one of the things I am looking forward to the most about fall is layering up my outfits. While I love the freedom of sailing out the summer door without worrying about coats or scarves, I love the completed look of layered outfits. It's fun to mix and match. This post has thirty ideas for how to layer up your outfits. (I half wanted to read it just for the sake of looking at cute clothes, but the other half of me really did want a good refresher on layers.) Note: the post is a few years old, but I still think the outfits are cute and fairly timeless!

Because we have had such a sad little plant summer, I am eager to add pops of color this fall. Mums for the win!!!! I found this article this week - actually when looking for some information for Love INC - that talks about how and when to choose your mums and how to get the most life out of them. Make your investment last as long as you can!
Three.
If you're a DIYer with an itch for a fall project, how about making your own fall-inspired flannel coasters? You can pick your fabric and color scheme and make the cutest little project!!
Four.
I feel like one of the key staples of fall, for me, is a proper apple cider donut. I usually get them from orchards, but if anyone wants to try this recipe at home and bring me one, I won't be upset! (Apple cider donuts mark one of the few times I am willing to deviate from my requirement that donuts sport a generous layer of frosting.)
Five.
Isn't this outdoor tablescape just BEAUTIFUL? Ryan and I have been able to sit outside on the porch a couple of times recently in the evenings, and it's made me crave a beautiful outdoor fall dinner. Sweatshirts and campfires and the whole bit. And this is just inspiring!
Six.
And if you're planning ahead for your fall, here are some ideas of things you should remember to do in and around your house to make it winter-ready. You have plenty of time for a head start!

I am ready for fall! We're still warm but the evenings are cooling off thankfully!
Those flannel coasters would be great to make from a flannel shirt that belonged to a loved one that has gone to be with Jesus! I kept my dad’s flannel shirt.
