|APPRECIATING|
that it is finally fall! I am not a fan of summer – I don’t like being hot (MS hot is
different; it’s a wet, humid hot).
|ORDERING|
warm, VERY WARM (i.e. wool), clothes for Alaska. Living in MS, I have no idea how cold
it’s going to be but I can’t wait to find out! HA! If all else fails and I don’t have enough,
I will buy (or rent) there

|PERFECTING|
my baking. I used to say that I don’t bake (because it looked too hard and I didn’t
have enough desire to try) but then #WFH, and…I found these Healthy Pumpkin

|PLANNING|
what to take to Alaska (notice a theme?). I have everything that (I think) I need to
keep warm so I can now start working on my packing list…and actually start
packing!

|WEARING|
long sleeves, finally! It has been chilly the last few days and I’m LOVING it! I see where
it will be warmer the next week but as long as it’s not 80s+, I’ll be ok (not exactly
happy, but okay) HA!

Comments
I love fall too – I hate being hot, and you are right, humid hot is so gross. Alaska sounds amazing, I have always wanted to go there.
Those muffins look delicious!
I hope Alaska does not disappoint. All I can think of….is cold. And colder. (I'm not really a fan of cold!) Definitely all the warm clothes! And maybe some of the muffins as well!!
Fall is my favorite. I don't do well with the heat either. My brother has MS. I think he does okay with the summer/sun, but I know it can be a real issue!

Always better to be over-prepared on the warm gear, I say! Really warm footwear is also key, in my opinion as someone who goes through Michigan winters 🙂 The trip sounds amazing.
