Have you started to feel that snap in the air yet? Mornings and evenings are a little darker, and leaves are falling from tree branches — fall is just around the corner. We love summer, but we’re pretty excited to welcome cooler weather and the change in season with cozy knits and warm beverages.
This festive mulled wine recipe from one of our favorite bloggers, Mandy Kellogg Rye of Waiting on Martha, is the perfect way to usher in autumn. “It’s my favorite cold weather cocktail,” says Mandy. “It’s sure to warm everyone’s hearts and tummies.”
