This Friday Faves is an ode to all things fall. Last month we talked about how to get into the summer spirit in case you were late to the party. This month we're focused on what to do, eat and drink to join the fall party, and despite my love of the game this will be a football free zone.
1. Bake Cookies.

The weather is finally cool enough to turn on the oven. I plan on turning the oven on and not turning it off for about 6 months. Bake cookies for yourself, your family, friends or neighbors. To really get in the spirit make sure some pumpkin is involved.
2. Light Candles.
Fall candles are probably my favorites scents and not just because most of them smell like pumpkin. Once again the cooling temperatures make it possible to light a candle (in a safe place, far away from the kiddos).
3. Take a hike.
Speaking of autumn leaves and wonderful smells, get outside and enjoy viewing the leaves, smelling the leaves and hearing the crunch of leaves under your foot. It won't be too hot, and the air is clear. Grab the kids, the dog, a friend and get outside.
4. Plant mums.
Nothing says fall like some mums in front of your house with a pumpkin or two. The best thing about mums is that the word "hardy" is in their name, meaning even I have trouble killing them. And while you're at it, plant some bulbs so you have great spring flowers.
5. Drink something.

Drink something yummy. Could be hot, like hot apple cider. Could be cold, like a pumpkin beer. Just drink something that says fall because no season has so many delicious options.
Fall candles are probably my favorites scents and not just because most of them smell like pumpkin. Once again the cooling temperatures make it possible to light a candle (in a safe place, far away from the kiddos).
