What are your fall traditions? We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place where every season is vastly different.

Soon we will all see the changing of the leaves and the morning chill as we breathe the first breath of air walking outside in the morning. Darkness will fall a little sooner.

What are some traditions that you are looking forward to?

Just a few of mine are:

• Stocking up on k cup apple cider with to go cups for friends that visit

• Putting our posable skeleton “Bob” out in the yard . Let’s be honest he also starts inside for a few weeks to scare my family members. He does love crawling under peoples covers during the day. Lol

• Making sure that all of our comfiest blankets are all out on the sofas

• Making at least one trip to our local apple orchard to pick apples.

• Taking out our Halloween inside decor . To include Mr. and Mrs. Frankenstein lol

• Of course, making an apple pie and being sure to have Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream ready !

I find that over the last year and half, these traditions are more important than ever. Anything that we can count on regardless as to what is happening in the outside world is so helpful. If there is one thing that we learned over the last few years, it’s that we just don’t know what life might bring. Moments that bring joy and comfort are what can keep us plugging along despite the bumps in the road that will pop up along the way.

If we have these traditions that happen right under our own roof ( or in our yards ) I would like to say they are ones that we can count on. Certainly any that also support our local businesses and community are equally wonderful.

I love hearing from all of you ! Please message me or email me what your fall traditions are. We might just find that we all pick up some new traditions by sharing with each other. I know that when my boys were little, we started so many great traditions from other families sharing what they did with us.
