UGG Boots

With the warmth and comfort of UGG boots, you know it is fall when it is UGG boot season. Just slip into a pair of your favorite UGG boots, and enjoy fall. These warm boots will be relaxing to your feet while keeping them warm all season long. Enjoy the UGG boot season, before their time is up, and they have to go back into your closet!

Pumpkin Spice Latte


Either hot or cold this Starbucks drink is one of the most popular holiday drinks. No one can resist saying “No” to this delicious, orange, pumpkin-y fall drink. They are fun to take pictures of, with, and especially the most common picture taken… a selfie with your Pumpkin Spice Latte! Get them while you can and while they are still in season.


Pumpkin Picking & Carving

At a young age, children love going pumpkin picking; however, even as we get older we still love going pumpkin picking. Additionally, with the hayrides that are usually at the pumpkin patches, this makes going pumpkin picking even more fun as well. Children love picking out their own pumpkin, and finding that “special one”. After children find that one pumpkin, they love bringing it home, where they will have an idea in mind or find a design online or in a magazine maybe that they would like to carve into their pumpkin. Of course, the children will not carve the pumpkin but will instruct their parents on how they want their pumpkin to be carved.

While carving the pumpkin, you can scoop out all the pumpkin seeds and put them aside on a tray. On the tray the seeds will then be washed, seasoned (with butter and salt; however, you can also find pumpkin seed recipes online) then baked. Once baked you will have edible, delicious, homemade pumpkin seeds. You will also have a pumpkin seed recipe that you will be able to share with the later generations down the road, and also you will have a beautifully carved pumpkin which will be perfect for the upcoming Halloween holiday. Pumpkins are gorgeous, fun to pick, decorate and also very multifunctional.

Apple Picking

A good way to start fall is by apple picking. It is fun to do with your friends, family, even your neighbors. When you go apple picking this fall make sure you get some crisp apple cider, for fall is not complete without some fresh local cider. Also if the farm that you decide to go apple picking sells apple cider donuts, you should definitely purchase some. They will be worth your money, and you will say to yourself “I have never tasted a donut like this before.” The reason you will be saying this is because they will be amazing and taste like heaven in every bite! Apple picking is fun, delicious, and memorable :)

Falling into a Pile of Leaves


When children are little and even as they get older, they will never forget the countless times they fall backward into a pile of leaves. Just grab a dozen or two handfuls of leaves (adult handfuls preferably) and then put them into a pile and soon you will see the pile start to grow bigger and bigger. Then you can fall backward and end up in the pile of leaves. It is sort of like a trust fall, but with leaves. Even adults can do this activity and will think that it is enjoyable, and walk away laughing.


Going on Nature Walks


With the weather not too hot, not too cold, the weather is perfect. Nature walks are perfect for schools if they need to get out of the classroom, explore or just take their students out of the classroom for a little air. Going on nature walk adventures are also wonderful for families, especially when family members come to town for the fall holidays. Families can go to a local park or on a long walk around a creek or falls, for example Brandywine Falls, which has some hills and also a waterfall. These nature adventures are terrific for friends as well, if they ever want to be adventurous, and explore the outdoors. They will have the opportunity to take pictures of nature, while also taking selfies at the same time with the beautiful scenery around them. Nature hikes are fun, beautiful, and the best time to do them in the fall time!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
