Meemaw Fall
A couple of weeks ago, I stood at a gas pump. I felt a crisp breeze brush across my body. I closed my eyes and savored the first cool breeze of the season. When I came to, I realized how odd I must have looked to any onlooker but screw'em- I was having a moment.
Unfortunately, the sweltering heat would quickly return; what a little tease.
This 90-plus-degree weather has parts of me sweating that I didn't even know was possible. So, to say I am ready for my favorite time of year is an understatement. My God, it's nearing that time again. It is time to break out my Fall Festival calendar.
To my delight, yesterday, I was introduced to Meemaw Fall!
According to @cassidydanielsmusic, the gorgeous genius who so lovingly graced Instagram with her autumn enchantment, these are all the necessary components to join her for a Meemaw Fall...
Exclusively Wearing MuuMuus and Denim Dresses
I received my first MuuMuu on my last birthday, and it was a game-changer. It took my lounge game up a notch. There I was, being ushered into my grown-woman era. How fetching I felt while my bits and pieces were aerated and unfettered.
A jean dress?? Long, short, button down, collared, waist belt, OH MY!! I mean, a girl could get lost in the denim wardrobe changes.

Morning Coffee on the Porch
Who can argue with a good cup of joe on a nippy fall morning? If I could be so bold as to say I don't think a Meemaw would be scrolling on socials; she'd be taking in the view and people-watching.
Big Breakfast and Oatmeal
There is nothing more comforting to the soul than a mouth-watering breakfast spread.
A plethora of variations and combinations can be added to oatmeal. There are also bars and cookies. Oatmeal can even be added to sweet potatoes for a hearty and pleasant texture.

Bingo or the Casino on a Weeknight
This was an exciting one! My nickels are ready for the slots.
Do I need to get my Troll dolls ready? I've seen people on TV bring those to bingo for good luck.
Baking
I am not a great baker. Baking is too heavy on math and precision. But there is something about fall baking that drenches you in the season. Plus, add anything with apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, or nutmeg and hot damn.

A Crockpot (from the 80s)
This is the busy woman's best friend, and having one with a few miles on it makes it all the more charming.

This is a new one for me, and I am 100% ready to lean in. Will they be gross? I don't know, but I'm going to try.
