6 Things You Know You Love About Fall

From pumpkin spice lattes to leggings, what's not to love about fall?

By Kelly Arnell of Why Did We Have to Have All These Kids Anyway?

I know that I should be soaking up the last of the summer sun, enjoying my flip flops and margaritas on the patio while I still can, but I just can’t help but be excited about fall! It is my favorite season; there’s just so much to love! Here’s a list of some of things I love about fall.

1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Okay, okay, I know it is soooo overdone, but the day Starbucks whips up their first pumpkin spice latte, you can find me camping out in the damn parking lot. Okay, actually, it’s after school drop-off, in the drive-thru with my minivan, but you get the idea.

I love me my pumpkin spice lattes, but somebody decided to take the pumpkin spice thing too far. You just know a bunch of people were sitting around a board room and someone was all like, “You know, everyone is crazy about these pumpkin spice lattes. We should see if we can make other pumpkin spice crap! People will love it!”

And then we end up with shit like pumpkin spice ice cream, pumpkin spice gum, pumpkin spice condoms (okay, I made that last one up, but I would not be surprised if it existed.)

Let’s tone down the pumpkin spice stuff, m’kay marketing people? Don’t fucking touch my lattes, though!

2) Sweaters

How awesome are sweaters?! I mean, they cover your ass (those lattes pack a lot of calories!), they are super comfy and cute, and they go with almost any outfit. When you are wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt but have to go out in public, throw a sweater over that train wreck and you’re good to go!

3) Long, Black Yoga Pants

Hello, yoga pants. Oh, how I have missed you this summer. It’s been too damn hot for you lately, but soon we will be reunited! You go with anything and everything. I love you long, black yoga pants!

4) Shaving: Optional

Speaking of yoga pants and sweaters, ain’t nobody gonna see your legs or pits under those. Fall means shaving becomes optional, or in my case, not gonna happen til spring.

5) Bye Bye, Boob Sweat

Ugh, I am so sick of ringing out my damn bras at the end of the day. Fall means cooler weather, and that means no more boob sweat! Unless you go to the gym, which doesn’t apply to me because although I’ve got the hots for my yoga pants, I don’t actually go to yoga.

6) School Starting

Whoop! Whoop! See ya, kids! The mornings suck ass, but once we get back into a routine, we have a routine! Remember a routine, kids? No, probably not because you’ve been staying up late, sleeping in, having way too much screen time and eating meals at weird times. I love being back on a normal schedule, and that some of my kids are gone part of the day isn’t too shabby either.

So see ya, summer. It’s been real, but it’s time for you to move on.
