Three Things : Three Giveaways

We love spending time outdoors! We go to the pumpkin patch, go to the lake, and take out the docks and rake leaves, have bonfires and roast marshmallows. It's our favorite time of the year!

Fall in Oklahoma is sweater/sweatshirt weather! We watch a lot of Sooner football, make chili, drink coffee with pumpkin spice creamer (YUM!), go to the pumpkin patch, take lots of photos of "fall colored" flowers and trees. I love fall...my favorite time of the year! Happy Fall Ali!

I celebrate Fall with lots of vanilla hot cocoa, thick books read under a warm blanket, cinnamon spicy candles and my favvvorrite holiday of all, Thanksgiving! :) :)
I love Fall. :)

We always make a trip to a local farm and pick or choose pumpkins. Fall always gets me in the mood to bake, especially things with apples + cranberries. Of course the kids are excited about Halloween and dressing up this year as a pirate & Cinderella. Fall is my favorite season for weather in Ohio. Cooler, and perfect for trips to the park and playing outside a bunch before it gets too cold! Thank you for all the great ideas!

For us, it's all about Harvest time. We're farmers of corn and soybeans here in Indiana so we're busy getting all the crops in. We finally got all the soybeans in so now we're plugging away in the corn. Hopefully we'll have it wrapped up within the next couple weeks! It's a wonderful life though. We have 3 boys and we homeschool so they spend lots of quality time with their daddy and grandaddy during this time. Such a treasure!
Happy Fall!

Someores by the firepit overlooking the lake and the beauty of the foliage and the waterfoul. Take time to travel up to Maine and checkout the view of the autumn leaves and the lighthouses...Love love love northern New England in the fall. (and really any time of year), but we most definatly win for beauty in the fall.

Living in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving early in Oct. So lots of turkey, pumpkin pie and family visits. It's always my favourite time of the year as it's the kickoff to the holiday season.

Hot apple cider, pumpkins, decorating with those great bright fall colors and nesting. Love that the sun sets early and that it is okay to relish the warmth of home.

Hi Ali:
I love Fall - we go apple & pumpkin picking and my boys love to go through the corn maze. We carve pumpkins just before Halloween and eat all the pumpkin desserts we can. We jump in the leaves and have great fun. Thanks for including me in the raffle.

Fall is my favorite season by far....carmel apples, pumpkin cobbler, sweaters, fire pits, motorcycle riding trips....real quality family time with those that I love the most!

Ooh, I love all three of those companies! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I've spent a fair bit of time this year bemoaning the fact that it's so hot in FL, but I had a weekend with a glorious gift-sunset, cool morning temps, and a bald eagle sighting that set my heart soaring! That is certainly the best celebratory moment of fall I've ever had.

FALL is my favorite time of year!

Time with my family is how I celebrate this fabulous time of year.

Fall! While some bloggers commented about the arrival of autumn several weeks ago, I couldn't relate to their sensory awakening until this past Saturday. That's when fall arrived in the South. In my state. In my backyard. And what that means is a season of fun and celebration, sprinkled throughout October and November as my family enjoys the fall season. For my husband, it's football Saturdays, whether he is one of 80,000 or so in the stands of a college football stadium or at home in front of his television enjoying the game with friends and family. For my daughter, fall means Halloween and a chance to be someone she's not. From the time she was a tiny toddler, my daughter has LOVED Halloween. And while she's been a cute, ballet-loving child, she has always preferred dressing up as... dead people. A dead cowgirl, a dead rock star. And while some children mark the days off the calendar leading up to Christmas, my child marks them off leading up to Halloween. For me, fall means crisp, cool air and blue skies. It means the early darkening of the sky that tells my soul its time to get cozy with my family. Early evenings around the fireplace with a cup of warm cocoa in my hands. It means a time of thanksgiving as we enjoy special times with family and friends.

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins. Carving, painting, eating. Anything pumpkin flavored makes me happy this time of year. Oh, and hot cocoa with whipped cream!
Happy Fall!

I celebrate fall by making stew in the crockpot -- and if I'm really ambitious -- biscuits to go with the stew!

We love fall! We spend lots of time outside playing. We always go to a pumpkin field to pick a pumpkin (something I never did growing up). I do alot of baking--apple everything and cookies.

Fall for me is football, my favorite blue flannel sheets and Pumpkin flavored food.

I'm not sure who loves the pumpkin patch more...my 6 year old daughter or me. Needless to say, we try to go to the pumpkin patch as many times as we can before they all pack up and leave!! She knows if she wants to ride the pony and play, mommy has to get some awesome pictures first! I love taking pictures of her there! :)

Making it in under the wire! I'm not so sure this is a celebration OF Fall but it's a celebration we have every Fall. It's the National Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night walk. My husband is a leukemia survivor; five years out. We walk this every Fall with our kids and celebrate life WITH Dad!

Well, we moved to Florida last year. Autumn is subjective here, to say the least.
I have decorated my porch with pumpkins, quilts, collected wood crates, gourds and more.
There's little leaves around here, but I still enjoy my caramel apples and fall carnival!

Raking the leaves that fall from all the trees in my yard...

A trip to Apple Hill, extra blankets on the bed, driving down roads with leaves falling down and pumpkin scones from Starbucks (yum!).

Fall is absolutely the best time of the year. I love the cooler weather and the thoughts of things to come. Our traditions include: making batches of pumpkin whoopie pies - hubby loves them; trips to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin carving a whole lot of jack-o-lanterns to line our walkway; roasting the seeds from all the pumpkins and eating them warm out of the oven, and especially looking forward to all the special times with family and friends.

I like to celebrate fall by making crafts with my kids - decorations for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Also, I like to spend more time trying new recipes and making home-cooked meals.
