This week in Georgia, we have gotten a little sneak peek into the cool crisp weather of the upcoming season and it has made me completely switch gears to Fall! I usually do my "Weekly Five" blog posts a bit different from today's because today's is all about, you guessed it, Fall! The coming months will be full of yummy scents, decadent desserts, cozy nights, and layers of swearers and scarves! I am so excited for this season, it is my favorite time of year. I can't wait to enjoy it with all of the people I love, including you!

During this time of year, as the leaves are changing and there is a small crisp breeze in the air, I become very thankful to live in such a beautiful state, Georgia. One of my favorite places in Georgia is when you go up to the mountains. They are great any time of year, but there is something unique and special about going in September and October that will completely change you. I have never experienced anything like it, come visit and you will know exactly what I am talking about!
About two or three years ago, my family started this tradition where we make chili on Halloween Night. Every time I think of Halloween now, I think of cuddling up with a bowl of warm chili, watching some scary movie classics and sipping on some hot chocolate! This is a tradition I will be carrying with me throughout the years and won't go a single Halloween without it! Get a great homemade original chili recipe here.
