September is an overall hard month for me. Leaving summer behind, knowing that I have to wait a full year to feel warm, to see the lake water, and to go outside without a jacket makes me SO unbelievably sad.

So this month, I thought that it was REALLY important that I reflected on the things that I really enjoyed about the month of September!

First, I really enjoyed decorating for fall! I am including some of my favorite decoration pictures below. My mom makes a special effort to make sure that we decorate BIG for fall because of how much I dislike it. And… decorating DOES help!

I made a Chocolate Peanut Butter cake for one of my friend’s 30th birthday this month and it was AMAZING! I am linking my chocolate cake and peanut butter icing if you want to try it out! It is going to the TOP of my list for go to cake recipes! If you love Reese’s cups, this is going to be your favorite new dessert!

I also REALLY like all of the new shoes that I got this month. It was a SHOE month! (To get to any of the shoes I am featuring, just click on the picture! You can shop the rest of the outfit this way too!)

For my makeup, I got a NEW mascara pairing that I am absolutely in love with! Not only does your mascara stay on all day, but even in the shower this stuff doesn’t budge. It takes a really good makeup remover to even get this off! You’ll love it! Trust me!

But what I’m most grateful for the month? You. When I set out on this journey, I didn’t think that anyone would listen to me, or care. And now, here I am, not even a year into this journey and I am simply amazed at what God has done with this little blog. So thank you. Thank you for reading, for interacting, for everything.
