Hello World! Welcome Friends! The lazy days of summer have come to an end. It’s sad to say farewell to summer fun but many parents welcome a return to the school year routine, to more structured days and dinnertime stories of new friends. However, after the freedom of summer, fall can feel a little too structured, too routine. With a little creativity, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Evenings
The calendar and the kids’ school schedules may be saying fall, but in many places, the temperatures still feel like summer. Sunset is still hours after quitting time for most people, at least until daylight saving time ends. That means you are able to get off work, get the kids from school, and fit in a quick trip to play. Go to the beach and build a sandcastle or head to the park to fly a kite. Even an hour or two of playtime is enough to combat boredom and relieve stress.
Weekends
Book a weekend couple’s package like a getaway fort myers, Florida. The romance of a train trip, the gourmet meal included, and the excitement of a murder mystery—it is the perfect combination to get your mind off mundane details like school lunches and choir practice schedules. If a staycation seems more doable, find a luxury hotel that offers a discount for locals and book a suite with an in-room spa tub. Platforms like thishotel.com can help you find the best hotels and deals. If you would rather do something with the kids, many campgrounds stay open year-round; a Friday night arrival and Sunday departure leaves all day Saturday open for hiking, bike riding, and skipping rocks across the pond. Nights may be too chilly for a tent so stock up on firewood or rent an RV.
Holidays
If you tend to put holiday preparations off until the last minute, this is the year to make a change. It can be fun to look ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings; a little planning now will enhance your enjoyment of the holidays and make things smoother in November and December. If you travel to see family, snag an early bird airfare bargain or see if taking a train would alleviate the stress of driving. If you host, chip away at holiday prep by locating recipes for big family meals and freshening up guest rooms. If you make your own holiday decorations and gifts, take advantage of coupons and start gathering supplies. Making that first batch of jam will give you the momentum you need to stay ahead of the curve throughout the season.
