Are y’all ready for cooler weather yet? Or maybe you already have cooler weather? It’s been cold here in Mississippi for more than a week which is so unusual. We almost never have actual winter weather – especially for days on end.

But we have this year and it’s amazing. I’ve had a fire going in my fireplace for days and lots of snuggling under my favorite throws from Kohl’s.
