There are so many reasons to love the fall. It happens to be my very favorite time of the year. From falling leaves to weather is just about perfect, which makes it ideal to enjoy fall activities with your family, everything from hosting an apple harvest party to taking a trip to the local pumpkin patch. I always bring home lots of small pumpkins and gourds to mix with our Soy Candles to display on the entry table and dining table. The house is overtaken with scents of the season and everyone tells me how great the house smells.
Of course, there are so many autumn-inspired pumpkin sweets to bake with honey this season, and while we are talking about pumpkin we encourage you to try it on your face as well! Apples are a seasonal star and we're just dreaming of baked apples and apple tarts, bourbon honey pumpkin pies, and this wonderful pumpkin soufflé. Don't forget about all the seasonal cocktails too!
Also, our all-time favorite holiday—Halloween is in the fall. What makes Halloween extra-special for me- is that it's my husband's birthday. Fun, fun, fun. We celebrate these days by going out of town to unwind, another reason to look forward to Fall.
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
— Albert Camus
