Fun Fall ideas include being healthier- Pay attention to your body signals!
Fall makes me feel like I can let my shoulders down and say “aaaaah”. I feel happier in my body during the fall season. I can breathe easier! Now that I have studied Chinese medicine, I understand the reason behind this. The fall season corresponds with our lungs and large intestine. They are the organs responsible for our breath and for letting go of things, or elimination. This is from a body, mind and spirit perspective. So, if you are holding onto anything that may be giving you pain, a grudge, a bad memory for instance, now is the time to let it go! Breathe easier and feel lighter as we head into winter!

Fun Fall ideas
Some of my favorite memories with my kids come from the Fall season. We used to live in a small town in New Hampshire. It’s claim to fame was their apple orchards. So taking my kids apple picking every fall became a tradition. Seeing all the pumpkins in the fields and the ones that were already picked in the huge crates all lined up were quite a site. Then the fresh apple cider they always had, along with gigantic crates of freshly picked apples at the farm stand. My kids actually enjoyed going to pick the apples ourselves. I cannot even count the many times we went apple and pumpkin picking together in those orchards. Mack’s Apples was also my favorite place to go running and to sit and reflect on life at the pond. It had this huge willow tree with an old wooden swing. My kids used to climb that tree and we would picnic by the pond and feed the ducks. Memories like this are what make me feel happy during the fall months.
Fun Fall ideas = Pumpkins
Fall also reminds me of pumpkins. Pumpkin anything brings a smile to my face. My family is known for our pumpkin bread. It used to be a ‘family only’ recipe, but we finally decided to share the wealth and pass it on to others. I am still famous for my pumpkin bread (and my pesto) in the town that I raised my kids. Now, all four of my kids bake pumpkin bread and my oldest has carried on my tradition of giving it away as gifts during the holidays. I am so glad that I spent the time teaching my kids to bake. Now I see how much they enjoy the traditional foods that I grew up with and passed on to their generation. I invite you to cook and bake with your kids! It is such a fun tradition and a great way to stay close to your kiddos. For all recipes with pumpkin, go here.
Did you know that pumpkin is very good for you?
Speaking of cooking and baking. One of my favorite memories I have with my kids is baking and cooking with my kids. Making cut out cookies in the shapes of pumpkins and leaves during the fall are a fun activity to do with your kids. I also use cookie cutters to make pumpkin and apple pies look nicer. Just simply use a little extra pie crust to cut out your favorite shape (apple for apple pie; pumpkin for pumpkin pie) and line the top or outer rim with that shape! Makes your pie look like a professional made it!
Fun Fall ideas…
Rosh Hashanah and Halloween are around the corner as well as Thanksgiving and of course this is followed by Christmas! Lots of opportunities to give gifts. We have lots of gift ideas here at Rosie’s offers. My personal favorite is of course, WINE. Join our wine club and be the “hostess with the mostess”! Always have good wine to offer your guests, and wine to take as gifts to dinner parties and other functions. Everyone loves wine! My other favorite idea is natural bath products. I sell these products at my acupuncture office because I personally love them so much. They are all natural, made with only the finest ingredients. And your skin will love you!
