As a mother, I love the pace of Autumn the most. How nature reminds me to slow down and take a cleansing breath of crisp air. How the days become shorter, ushering me into a season of purposeful celebration and gratitude.

I love watching the offerings at the Farmer's Market change to deeper rich hues. Incorporating more grounding root vegetables into our meals and tossing a salad filled with pears and pomegranate sprinkled with pumpkin seeds.

Making the ultimate fresh batch of apple cider from a local farm. The pleasant natural sweetness of apples that somehow never ceases to satisfy.

Following their little footsteps through sunflower mazes, apple orchards, and foothills. And even if I don't check off the entire bucket list, witnessing my children in awe of the season is enough. xx, Christie
