Fall

Now that summer is over, we turn our sights to one of my favorite times of year: fall!

The crisp air, the cozy aromas, the Instagram-friendly light (#nofilter) -- it's your favorite time of year.

Pumpkin picking is one of my favorite things to do in the fall, so here's your guide to some great places in Ocean County.

One of the stops we made was at Bath and Body Works and while they picked up a few things I noticed they have a complete line of "scary" scents for Halloween....hence "the smell of fear". Now maybe I never noticed them or it's something new, but it was new to me.

We are in the middle of an August heat wave, with temps in the 90's forecasted all week. So I began thinking of cooler temps, thus creating my "why I love fifty degree days" list. I'll be honest I am not a big fan of "heat" I'd rather be in Maine then Florida.

It's that time of year for family, pumpkins, and the awesome leaves!  There is also this great Fall Event this weekend in Beachwood!

I accidentally stepped on one of those big black walnut hulls that are almost as big as a tennis ball. I lost my balance and landed on the ground. Ooops! I don't think I did any damage to my body, thankfully. My ego is probably the only thing that got bruised in the fall. I felt a bit silly. Simple things like walking and stepping off curbs...you think we'd have mastered the art by now! But it just goes to prove that things can change in a split second. So today's question: What's the 'silliest' way or place you've fallen? And now a public service reminder because it's Fall and there are lots of round things on the ground these days: Please look where you're walking and be safe out there!
