We love fruit and smoothies, so my fall tip is to get fruit from your local farmer’s market or orchard (or on sale!!) and can, and freeze fruit for the winter.

I am a visual person, so as soon as fall comes around I place things around that remind of it. Like a big bowl of apples. I also love candles that smell like Fall! They make me so happy and calm!

We always go on a hike up Millcreek Canyon and collect our favorite color leaves!
Melanie Fuller
One of our favorite fall things to do is to go to the local “pumpkin patch” and each child gets to pick their own mini pumpkin and help pick out the one big pumpkin that we will carve as a family!

My Fall tip: Get all the fresh produce you can find before the weather gets to cold and can or freeze it, that way you have fresh produce all winter long!

My favorite “fall” (maybe more like winter) recipe is for Apple Cider. The recipe is as follows: Apple Cider (Treetop, or any other big jug you can buy at the grocery store-make sure it’s Apple CIDER, not juice), a few sticks of cinnamon, a few bay leaves, and then the final (secret) ingredient – a candy cane(the original peppermint kind only!)! Put all the ingredients into a crock pot – the candy cane will melt and give it a great flavor!! It’s also a great ice-breaker guessing game. Soooo delicious.

I make sure all the summer clothes are clean before packing them up for the winter/fall.

Go to a nearby public park and enjoy the falling leaves in different colors! My favorite thing to do in fall is to step on fallen leaves! It’s just brings me joy!

It’s stil really hot here in AZ so my fall tip is to spend as much time outdoors… the kids have missed the park this summer (115 is just too hot!).

To get ready for fall, I like to get out the fall candles…there is nothing like cleaning house on Saturday morning with the new fall breeze coming through the windows and then topping off the day with the yummy smells of fall…I love my harvest and pumpkin candles!

We like to have bonfires. My teens each invite a few friends over and hubby and I join them around the fire. It’s a fun way to spend time with our children and their friends, and hear what’s going on in their lives that week.

Take a look in your backyard and identify one thing you find interesting. It could be anything such as an insect, a bird or a garden flower, etc… Then go back online and use the Google search engine to find out all you can about it. You’ll just be amazed at what you can learn!

Best Fall Tip: Start planning for Christmas NOW. If you have a list of all the people you need to get gifts for, a price range, and gift ideas, you will have plenty of time to snag a great deal and a great gift. Plus, you won’t go over your budget.

My Fall tip is to enjoy the last moments of your summer garden and not rush the clean up. Let the garden absorb back what has been growing.

Fall is our favorite season. Now that the weather isn’t so hot, we love to spend alot of time outside. Our favorite thing to do as a family is go to a local pumpkin patch and paint pumpkins, enjoy the animals they have,go on a hayride, walk thru the corn maze then snuggle up with a blanket near the campfire and roast marshmallows!!! And to top it off it is super cheap activity that starts during the afternoon and continues late into the evening!!

I love fall! College football is starting, on a sunny day the outdoor pictures turn out amazing, and we go pumpkin patch “hopping”, where fresh apple cider is the best treat. Then there is Halloween 🙂
