What fall means to me!
Thanksgiving - it’s my favorite time of year - the weather is perfect for a sweater and jeans, a warm pumpkin spice latte, and a walk to watch the leaves change colors (and to crunch them under our feet!). With Fall comes pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, and we love it. It’s a time to give thanks and appreciate all the good!
- Fall means family. The smell of the turkey coming out of the oven, or of warm chocolate chips cookies baking on a Saturday. Fall is the season that brings people together like no other, and that is why it is my favorite season.
- Fall means fun. My kids and I love hay rides, apple picking, and roasting marshmallows by a toasty fire! While this year looks a little different, there are still ways to celebrate while staying safe. At my house, we are focused on giving this year … starting with making delicious fall treats & delivering them to neighbor’s doorsteps.
- Fall means food. Delicious, hearty, and warm meals warm our fingers and our souls just as a toasty fireplace does. It’s time to make traditional fall comfort dishes like Shepherd's pie, roast chicken, or a festive soup (we love a good pumpkin one!). Colder temperatures call for warmer food, giving us an excuse to stay in and indulge in yummy comfort foods.
- Fall means drinks. Festive drinks are always in season! Sipping a hot drink that warms both our hands and our heart is a fall staple. Have some sweet apple cider, warm cocoa, or a delicious cup of tea (we won’t tell if some of them are spiked!). One of my favorites is made by my sweet southern girlfriend Monica at www.ravensoriginals.com
- Fall means friends This year friendship means more than ever. Every weekend I have zoom coffee with a different friend. One night a week I meet a friend for a zoom glass of wine. I love this deliberate time to reconnect one on one.
