Going
Out: At the heart of fall, take time to enjoy the
colors of the season.
Try a new restaurant, art exhibition, or show regularly.

Explore your city (Restaurants, clubs, local events)

Check current events (Music, sports, art & entertainment,
family events)
•
Check local & world festivals

Relationships:
Take time and have fun with your kids.
School is in full swingswing and if you're like most families,
your schedule leaves little free time. What with soccer games on
Saturday, shopping and homework, it's easy to forget to just have
fun. So this month, make it a point to reconnect.
For a really fun project, put together a simple Halloween costume.
Start on the Internet to get Ideas and find something age-appropriate.
Pick up your fabric and sew, or spend the afternoon cruising second
hand stores for Inexpensive costumes. Not only will your kids have
something original to wear for Halloween but you will also get some
greatly missed quality time.
