The Organized Life, October Paint Bucket
October is my favorite month, the weather on the coast is picture perfect, and you can still swim but it’s not hot. In Birmingham, the leaves are beginning to turn and there is a promise of fall in the air. We can actually sit outside on the patio and enjoy it.
Octoberfest, fall festivals, Halloween, so many fun things to do…
Here are the recipes and ideas I’m thinking about making this month, and remember to check the September October Pinterest Board here to see photos of these inspirations
