Making Your Home a Haven Fall Challenge {& a candle giveaway}
So, yesterday I told you about my friend Clare’s 5 week Living and Active challenge for body and soul.
Today, I want to inform you of another great challenge going on over at another friend’s blog. This one is for your home and soul.
Courtney at Women Living Well is holding her 5th annual Making Your Home a Haven challenge.
In her practical and inspirational book she writes:
“There’s simply no place like home. Whether you have a one-bedroom apartment or a large farmhouse, home is where we rest, refuel, and build strong relationships with our loved ones. No two homes are alike. Home is a place where we express our individuality in the kitchen and on the walls.
Whether you are a full-time homemaker or work full-time outside the home, we all have in common the desire to make our homes a haven. Together let’s pursue peace and harmony.” ~ excerpt from the book, Women Living Well
To find out all the details of this fun and creative challenge (the first thing you get to do is purchase a fall-scented candle to light in your home throughout the challenge!)
And, just to help a few or you out with the candle purchasing thing, leave a comment here on your favorite aspect of fall.
Two winners will be randomly chosen to receive a $15 gift card to Bath & Body Works to go buy yourself a candle.
They have tons of fall scents including my favorite: Leaves.
I love the cooler weather and decorating the house in the fall.
Fall is the time to get closer to your friends and family. Cuddle up and watch movies
I love the leaves changing colors and the cool evenings….beautiful!
I love the chilly nights of fall…it’s always fun to pull out the cozy pajamas and throw an extra blanket or two on the bed to stay warm through the night without actually turning on the heat.
I love absolutely EVERYTHING about Fall! From the cooler temps, to colored leaves, the pumpkins and the candy corn- it’s my favorite season (next to Winter) – I wish it could last all year! I’m almost 50 and I still get excited just like a little kid whenever my husband and I go shopping- I love all the Fall decorations- it’s just the best and coziest time of the year!
My favorite aspect of Fall is watching God’s art work with the changing of the colors of the folage. I also believe that because I am a fall baby, i love everything else about fall. The apples and all the fragrances of fall. The changes in the weather. Best for sleeping at night!! Blessings to all.
I love all the fall scents and bonfires!

My favorite aspect of fall is the colors of the leaves changing on the trees and pumpkin. I love all things pumpkin from lattes to pies to cookies and cakes. Thanks so much for the chance to win, Karen. Blessings.
The abundance of winter squash at my local farmer’s market is my favorite aspect of fall.
I love the cooler weather and going apple picking with my kids than coming home and making pies and other things with the apples.
My favorite aspect of fall is change. I need that right now and if God can change all this beauty we call summer into something more beautiful we call fall them he certainly can change me. Pray that I not just say that but believe it with my whole heart. Today was a struggle but tomorrow is a new day.
My favorite thing about fall is the fact that I can gather materials for a fall floral arrangement nearly everywhere. Leaves from trees, apples, and bare branches all work together beautifully.
I love the the fruits of the fall apples, squash and pumpkins. The blessings of the fall harvest after the planting and watching the fields grow and produce.
Fall is such a cozy time–a time to get closer to God, family, & friends. Of course, the warm colors make it a beautiful time as well.
I love the feel of fall – cooler days with leaves falling on the ground while snuggled up under blankets. What a great time of year.
I love the fall! The smell of apples, pears and pumpkins! I make pear butter and bake to keep the smell in our home warm and inviting!
My favorite aspect of Fall is the aroma of pumpkin scented candles in my house, baking.
I enjoy the beauty of all the changing colors, from the leaves to the crops. I also so enjoy the smell of burning leaves.
I love the cool mornings the best and anything pumpkin!
I love the smells and candles!
Pumpkin everything and changing leaves!!
Fall favorites: the colors, cooler temperatures and all the scents.
I love the way the light changes and the colors of autumn: pumpkins, turning leaves, sunflowers, mums…love it!! My favorite picture taking time of year.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp air and colored leaves. A walk in the woods this time of year is heaven for me.
My favorite thing about fall is everything. The weather is perfect. I love going to the apple orchard, on hayrides, and bonfire! It’s my favorite season of the year.
