How to Enjoy Fall & Some Favorites

Happy Friday!!

I can't with this little nephew of mine.  Just grape stomping on a sunny Sunday afternoon!

Today's post is all about how to enjoy the Fall season...no matter where you may be living!  Up in the PNW, we are JUST seeing the start of changing leaves and cooler temps.  Give me ALL the Fall fun!!  I wanted to suggest a few ideas for you parents that may be wondering what to do with your weekends & also how to maximize the fun!

Fruit picking //  This is a GREAT time for all ages.  We go fruit picking throughout the year but nothing is better than enjoying time outdoors and teaching your kids that fruit doesn't come from a grocery store!

Family Farms //  Along the lines of fruit picking, most cities and towns have farms that accommodate fun, fall, activities.  This weekend we are hitting up a nearby farm with all kinds of things to do.  Bonus, usually these things aren't too expensive.

Nature Walks //  When I need to eat up some time and want to take the kids outside, we usually end up on a 'nature' walk where we have a list and collect different things the kids see.  If I'm feeling extra, I try and incorporate some of it in art projects but....that's a big IF ;)

**Update: Grape Festivals // (to replace the Maple tapping that I posted on earlier...my memory was fuzzy, not the right time of year for tapping trees...but you can still enjoy it on your fave pumpkin spice waffles).  In my hometown of Rochester, NY, they hold a Purple Foot festival at Casa Larga (where I got married!).  It's such a cute festival full of pie eating contests and grape stomping!  What a fun way to celebrate the season!

Finally, a few more fun finds:

How cute are these pillows from Anthro, and they are on SALE!

My favorite Fall sweatshirt (but it runs large so size down)

I purchased this pumpkin emoji kit to work on with the kids one day soon and I know they will LOVE them.

That's it!  Have a Wonderful Fall Weekend!
