Stacking the Shelves #73: October 2014 (Part 1)


It's getting chilly around here! My favorite time of the year :) 
I love fall! I love comfy sweaters and pjs! Hot cocoa and extra snuggle time!
But it's also a reminder that the holidays are around the corner and soon, it will be 2015!!!
I'm not ready!!!
I love everything in my life right now! I am so blessed to be where I am!
I am dreading my birthday... starting a new decade is never easy.
