Welcoming October

While September takes the lead on being my favorite month, October most definitely comes in second place. Its more prominent brown leaves and chillier weather remind me that it's September’s older brother (yes, October gives me male vibes). With a new month come new possibilities; this month could be the one that changes my life for better or worse (…scary). I decided that I'm going to have a positive outlook on the month and not let my crippling fear of the future strike me early on. I have a good feeling about this month. Maybe it's my appreciation for my new age and outlook on life, but the rest of the year feels cozy. Something about this month is making me want to try new things, be free, and be grown. I want to act like an adult with adult money... let's pray that comes in this month, lol.

With the weather hitting right, vibes feeling positive, and nostalgia in the air, here is a list of things I want to achieve this month:

Bake more goodies (brownies, different variations of cookies and breads, cakes, and more).

I really want to try my hand at cinnamon rolls. There's something about cinnamon and fall that go hand in hand. Do you guys think I should give pumpkin a try? I think I’ve only ever had a teaspoon of pumpkin pie in my life. Although, I probably won’t be baking a pumpkin pie this year.

Fall decorating

I’ll try to put up a pumpkin or two on the front door and add some brown and orange decor around the house. I'm stingy when it comes to spending money on a home that's not fully mine, but something is drawing me into Hobby Lobby to check out their decor... maybe I should log off of TikTok.

Fall movies

I think it will be nice to cuddle up with my man and watch some Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. Although this might be a test to my younger self, those movies scared the heck out of me. Will 27-year-old me be able to handle them now?

Make a soup

In elementary school, I used to love when we would have soup days. I think it was chicken noodle soup, and it was always paired with a grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve seen some TikToks of people making soups, and as a picky eater, it’s one of the things I wish I could indulge in. I might give it a try this month; I feel like it fits the fall vibes.

Do these seem a little too ambitious to you? Personally i’m not sure, and I'm already 21 hours too late to start knocking out one of the goals. The good thing is I still have 722 hours and 20 mins to work on the rest of them! :) I really hope that I accomplish at least one of these this month! I’ll try to remember to update y'all later.

Wish me luck!
