Fall Nesting Ideas

I've been reading a blog from http://www.theinspiredroom.net/ and she has this fun blogging she does called "10 Seasonal Nesting Tips" so I thought I would give it a try. Some people are so very articulate when they write, something I'm not very good at but it's something I want to get better at.
I love to decorate my home. Especially when the different seasons come around. Living in Calif. didn't really offer distinct seasonal changes like it does here in Idaho. I remember my mom changing the decor though when holidays were coming about. Back then she would buy those puffy pull apart decorations from the Hallmark store and put them in the center of the table. Funny how I loved those little things.
I probably love the fall the most just because of the colors. They are so clean and bright to me. And they really tell of my personality. I guess you would say my home is decorated fall year round just because of the colors on the walls and my accents.
Kenzi loves fall too. She likes the change of the weather because she knows soon you can curl up with a snuggy blanket and homemade chicken pot pie will soon be in the oven. Your home smells of nutmeg and orange zest burning in the wax pot and it's dark by 5:00 pm.
I think I like the roar of the furnace turning on in the wee hours of the morning. It gives you that cozy feeling of staying in bed just a minute longer.
I love fall nesting because I know in a few months all my kids will be home for a short time and we will all be together to laugh and enjoy each other's company. I love those times.
My home may not be lavishly decorated like BHG but I know my family loves to come here and they feel safe. They know they can be themselves and feel the calm from the storm. AND they know they can get the best homemade dinner ever!
