It’s Labor Day y’all and this marks the beginning of my unofficial start to fall. Through Thanksgiving, I will be indulging in all of the pumpkin spiced lattes (iced of course), fall candle scents from Bath and Bodyworks (sweater weather is my favorite), football games, trips to pumpkin patches, and shopping for fall fashions. I might as well apologize to my wallet now before things get crazy.
