"Blame it on the Midwest weather, but it always feels like fall consists of a few short weeks sandwiched between the blazing hot summer and another frigid winter. It zips past way too quickly, which is why every year, when September rolls around, I make it a point to soak up as much fall goodness as possible. I’m savoring every sip of Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, visit to the pumpkin patch, and spooky movie night I can before the season ends. And, of course, stocking up on a few fall essentials to take my enjoyment of the season to the next level.
