**WACO, TX -** While the scorching Texas sun pushes temperatures into the triple digits, Joanna Gaines is embracing autumn at the Magnolia Silos in Waco. The lifestyle mogul has unveiled the fall decor at the popular destination, signaling a seasonal shift despite the lingering summer heat.

“I always love our seasonal installs at @magnolia!” Gaines shared in an Instagram post showcasing the autumnal displays. “This weekend, we brought fall to Magnolia Market. Check out the product we designed and curated online at magnolia.com and in store at the Silos in Waco, TX.”

This year’s theme is “embracing what matters most,” a sentiment close to Gaines’ heart as she prepares to send her two eldest children off to college. In the video, Gaines mentioned how she would also be harvesting honey with the kids, before they went back to college.

Before the academic year begins, the Gaines family enjoyed a final summer getaway in Sayulita, Mexico. Pictures posted to social media captured moments of family bonding, including snapshots of daughters Ella Rose and Emmie Kay enjoying the beach.

As Drake (20), heads back to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor for his third year, Ella Rose (18), is charting her own course at an out-of-state university. Gaines expressed excitement for her daughter’s independence in an interview with People, stating Ella wants to “be known for her.” While she admits to anticipating a wave of emotions as her children leave home, Gaines is focusing on personal growth.

In a recent episode of the “Stronger Podcast,” Gaines discussed how her physical workouts, guided by trainer Don Saladino, have translated to increased mental fortitude. Gaines emphasizes the importance of positive self-talk and building both mental and physical strength to navigate the changing seasons of life.
