Having been born & raised in Texas, it wasn’t until I was an adult that I discovered that not every high school girl enjoyed the tradition of tripping over a gianormous wearing a beautiful homecoming mum. My Senior year mum looked very much like the blue & white one pictured in that article. (Now they are twice as big!) Here are more examples & instructions.

Most of you are probably more familiar with a potted mum. I love putting a big basket of colorful blooms on my porch every Autumn!

Enjoy these creative takes on the beautiful chrysanthemum!

Autumn snack mixes are so easy to throw together. Enjoy some with your family by a cozy fire, or bag it up & bless someone’s day!!

God painted the Autumn season with such beautiful colors, and I love to scatter them about our home each season.

Gather some Autumnal inspiration from these great ideas!

Fall is my favorite season and I look forward to it all year, especially during our 100+ degree summers! I feel as if God is breathing new life into my world with all of the bright colors, crisp air, and swirling leaves.

(Which is a bit odd, I know, since everything is actually dying…but isn’t that how God works? Breathing life into the dying?)

I am sharing 31 ways to enjoy the season with your family:
