Fall Date Ideas

By -

***UPDATED 8/30/24***


Jay and I try and take time to do something fun every week, whether be a lunch date, hike in the park, or shopping at Goodwill. Yes, I said Goodwill, we both like finding a good deal. When it comes to the Fall season, there can be some unique things to do. Here are a few of our favorite things to do and we hope you can take time with your loved one to reconnect and just have fun together. 

  • The Pumpkin Patch - Typically we go to the pumpkin patch with our grandson but we have gone alone and had a great time. We have a favorite place called Snead's Farm and it's an awesome place to hang out. Find your favorite pumpkin patch. 

  • Take a Drive to the Mountains - this is always a favorite thing to do for Jay and myself. Looking at the changing leaves is just a beautiful sight. You can't say there's no God when you look at His handiwork in creation.

  • Go for a Hike - This is a great time to talk and get some exercise. Sometimes it's hard to get into some good conversations when you are watching kids or your job just takes it out of you. Jay and I have had some interesting chats on our hikes plus its gorgeous scenery. We also have wonderful places to hike in our neck of the woods. Do you have a favorite hiking place?

  • Visit Downtown - This is a great place to go for a walk and look at the decorations, there are some quaint shops and restaurants downtown. You can find some gems in your home downtown. We'd love to know where your favorite downtown is located.

  • Watch a Movie at Home - When watching a movie at home, I try and have all the fun things that go along with it, such as dollar store boxed candy and lots of popcorn along with our favorite drinks. October is a great time to watch horror flicks if you dare. It's not a horror film but Sleepy Hollow is a favorite of ours. Another plus to watching movies at home, you can cuddle up with each other. Who doesn't like cuddling?

  • Play a Game - We found this cool game called Farkle which is a dice game. My husband is a little competitive and he likes this game because you keep score. I actually bought it at the Dollar Tree but if you can't find it there, you can find it on Amazon. It's a hoot of a game! Do you have a favorite game you like to play?

  • Apple Picking - we have not done this date yet and I think we will this year. I love apples and Jay's favorite pie is apple pie. Sounds like a plan! 
  • Build a Fire - We have been enjoying our firepit all year. This can be a nice time to sip on a beer, wine, or something hot and maybe make some s'mores. I love Pumpkin Spice anything and a hot PS tea in my Tervis sure hits the spot. Our chairs are far apart in our firepit area, maybe we should sit closer. What do you think? 

We hope you enjoyed this week's blog post. Please share with us the fun dates you have during the autumnal season. Keep the spark alive!

Keep it sassy,
Kelly

***UPDATED 1/27/24*** I stumbled upon this Birthday Cake Box for the needy on Pinterest and thought what a fabulous idea.  It’s super quick & easy to make and donate to the food pantry/people in need.  The  Dollar Tree  and  Walmart have the  cake mixes and frosting for just over $1 and lots of paper products and inexpensive party supplies. For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups. Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box: 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes. 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like  1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil) Birthday candles You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc. Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of cake mix and a can of lemo

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
