TBB Asks – Fall Favorites
Do you love fall? Well October 1st has arrived and even though the weather in Texas has not really gotten the memo. It is my birthday month so I’m always feeling a little more peppy each day in October. So if you are a fall freak like me, join The Blended Blog today and answer these prompts about fall!
one | favorite fall treat – most definitely it will include pumpkin spice! Now, I’m not a PSL girl but give me some pumpkin space Life cereal, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins or even a plain old pumpkin pie and I’m a happy camper!
two | red, yellow or green apples – okay, y’all, I’ve never heard of a yellow apple! Am I the only one? I love red apples the best but typically the gala apple variety.
three | favorite fall sport to play – hmmm….I’m going to go with anything that gets me outside to enjoy the lower humidity and temps. When I decided to run a couple of half marathons I made sure the training would be in the fall.
four | best drink for fall – as I mentioned, I do not do the PSL but I do love some pumpkin spice tea in the evenings.
five | favorite fall activity – we have always loved going to the pumpkin patch and picking our pumpkin each year and when we actually make it a family affair to carve the pumpkin it’s even sweeter!
six | must have fall purchase – hands down mine is a pair of booties! This year these are my fave and they are currently on sale!
seven | pick your own pumpkin – well, we go to a pumpkin patch to “pick” ours but they are all just on the ground but it is an activity and not just the grocery store.
eight | real or fake pumpkin – definitely the real pumpkin for the carving and the front porch but last year Carly Jo and I had a blast making this one with crayons.
nine | favorite halloween costume – I haven’t dressed up in years but growing up I definitely preferred the scary costumes over the cute and I actually dressed as the exact witch two years in a row!
ten | college or NFL football – hands down I LOVE college football the best!
eleven | fall or halloween decor – well, this year there si nothing out yet at my house but typically I begin with fall decor and then mix in a few halloween pieces.
twelve | leaves or no leaves to rake – goodness do we have the leaves! They are already making a huge mess on my back porch. Funny story, we raked a huge pile in the back and I moved to the front when I suddenly saw smoke coming over the house. Keith got tired of bagging and just set those suckers on fire! Eek…you CANNOT do that in the city limits!
thirteen | favorite soup – definitely think chicken noodle would be my favorite!
fourteen | favorite fall candle – thinking right now I have to choose Pumpkin Pecan Waffles!
fifteen | love pumpkin spice – defer to number one!
sixteen | short or tall booties – who am I to play favorites?!! I love all boots and all boot weather. Cannot wait until it’s cool enough to pull the tall boots out but for now I’m loving my booties.
seventeen | fave Halloween candy – my favorite candy any time is always Reeses peanut butter but I do love some candy corn this time of year.
eighteen | PSL – No thank you! Blah….I’ve tried multiple times but the fact is I don’t like sweet coffee period.
nineteen | hayride or corn maze – again, who am I to pick a favorite when they are both amazing! However, we haven’t been on a hayride in years but we have a sweet little corn maze right here in town and have gone the past two years with our besties!
twenty | favorite fall TV show – This is Us! So, so glad it’s back even though I haven’t caught up yet!
Now it’s your turn! Link up your fall favorites!
LOVE the Pumpkin Patch pictures!!! Such cuteness. I got the Pumpkin Waffles candle after Kellyann mentioned it but I have not burned it yet..can’t wait! You’re a “punkin!!!” Have a great day!
You’ve never heard of golden delicious apples? (they’re the yellow ones) Maybe it’s a northern thing/ variety. I love my yellow apples layered with peanut butter and flaked coconut. That brings back memories of childhood for me. That pumpkin pecan waffle candle sounds amazing!!
Loved reading your answers but the pictures are the BEST!!!! I don’t have any cute Fall pics like that – total slacker mom over here,ha! Have a wonderful Monday Shelly!
xo,
Kellyann
Fun!!! I love the pic with Carly Jo wearing the dog shirt and Dutch with his little head cocked – too cute! I’m not a PSL fan either. Give me something a bit NOT sweet! LOL xoxo
I love your answers and the pictures. I think we are going to try the crayon pumpkin this year. I love a PSL, but also love a great tea, my current obsession is Vanilla Chai tea from Bigelow. So yummy!
Love all this fall goodness! I wish you’d shown the finished crayon pumpkin. I bet it was cute! Reading all these fall things is making want to run in the kitchen and whip up something pumpkiny. How’s the painting coming?😁 I bet you are loving seeing the progress! Happy Monday Shelly!!! XOXO
Your wish is my command Lisa! I’ve added the finished pumpkin….I seriously couldn’t find the picture last night because I’ve dumped so much off my computer but for you I made the extra effort! The house looks amazing….so clean and fresh! Now…if I can get everything out of my bedroom and back where it belongs!
Well if I could just get everyone else to have that same attitude, I’d have it made. 😉 The pumpkin was adorable. I hope it was one of those funkins or whatever they’re called so you got to keep it.
Love that crayon pumpkin. It turned out well. And mmm…reese’s. I LOVE those.

I love decorating for fall- and the weather is definitely “Fall Like” here in Utah. At about 7000 ft where we live, the leaves are beautiful and temps are COLD in the AM. Just a few miles up the mountain it has already started snowing, so I guess I’d better get cracking! LOVE that pumpkin!

So much fun at the Pumpkin Patch! Carly Jo’s pumpkin is just spectacular!
again….why we can be friends…Reeses pb pumpkins. Bleh to the pumpkin spice life and hello college football! We Are! Woo hoo! and PS I love that pumpkin y’all made last fall! Definite Pinterest WIN!!!
I hear you on not being able to pick favourites for booties. They all should be celebrated and cherished (and bought)
I think candy corn is winning in the favorite candy category! I’m the only person in America not watching This Is Us!
Lots in common on our lists! And when will fall arrive here in Texas? I thought I felt a bit of it on Friday, but this morning when I walked out it was just as hot and humid as ever!! Have a wonderful week!
yes to candy corn and reece’s. Have you tried the Trader Joe’s version of reeces? So dang good, you won’t want any other, so addicting too, so buy the small container, hehe!
That’s crayon pumpkin is SO cool! I’m all about college football too 🙂
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles candle sounds amazing! Also, love those booties!
