Things I loved in October

It hasn’t felt like October to me and now it is almost over! I keep seeing all of these beautiful photos of autumn leaves but I live in Austin where yesterday it was still in the upper 80s! However, today a cold front finally came through and we are in the 50s and I am feeling in the mood to officially welcome fall.

Here are some of my favorite blog topical posts, recipes and DIY tips from October:
