Fall Entertaining

As we begin the fall season, I have tons of ideas for you to try out at your own home, whether it’s baking, cooking, crafting, or decorating!

I must admit. I have already started ordering pumpkin-flavored drinks at coffee shops. 

I can’t help myself. The refreshments are irresistible. Plus, it’s about time I move on from fruity, light drinks to pumpkin spice and everything nice!

To get you into the swing of Fall, drink the seasonal options at your local coffee spot, AND check out these Fall entertaining ideas to start the home transition from summer to next season.

Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 80

Happy Saturday,

Hello and happy Fall 🙂 Even with 80-degree temperatures and the sun shining, I am yearning for autumn. 

There’s nothing better than snuggling by the fire watching our current tv show with some popcorn and something sweet.

If we’re both excited for Fall, you’ll love today’s post if we’re on the same page. 

Without further to do, here are Fall entertaining ideas from my home to yours.

Personal Note from Janine

A couple of weeks ago, I hosted my niece and her family.

It was so fun to have guests at our home once again. It’s been a while since we had any friends or family over to our house.

We had a blast enjoying long dinners out on our patio. We also enjoyed getting to know their one-year-old daughter! And this is the spot where we hung out with her while coloring, playing with bubbles, and listening to lots of CocoMelon music.

This little visit gave me a taste of entertaining and I hope to host a few dinners at the end of the month.

My motto these days, is to enjoy the last days of summer and have friends and family if you can.

Have a lovely fun weekend!

This Week’s Tip – Foraged Flowers

Fall Foraged Bouquet

I foraged with my florist friend around her shop for flowers and greenery and this is the result. We found wild berries, ivy, buckeye seed pods, and more.

Kathy did add a few dahlias and roses from her garden to round out the bouquet. But, isn’t this the prettiest foraged floral arrangement?

Be creative this fall and make a flower bouquet from your garden and surroundings!

Latest Obsession – Fall Coffee Creamers

Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte

If you have guests over and want to serve them a fun autumn spiced coffee drink, then try the store-bought creamers.

I recently bought the Starbucks Pumpkin creamer since it was on sale at our local grocery store. I was a bit nervous about buying it since it was on sale. Was it not selling so they need to clear their stock out?

Well, once I came home, I try a little sip of this festive cream. Oh my, it is heavenly! If it weren’t for the mega-calories I would drink a mug full!

But, it is fun to treat my family and friends to a fancy coffee drink as the temperatures turn to fall.
