It might still feel like summer, but don’t blink because in a snap you’ll be back to reality. We’ve got the savvy guide to September to make sure your transition goes smoothly.
DO
Buy a basket (or two, or three) of tomatoes
Why? Because they are in season, ripe and ready for the taking—they’re too good to leave behind. Take them home, make a big salad or pasta, and roast the rest. Your family will thank you in the winter months.
GO
To 9th Annual Southlands Country Fair on Sunday, September 12, from 10 am–5 pm (rain or shine)
Why? Where else do you and your kids get the opportunity to participate in a true country fair within city limits? It is a great way to welcome the fall season and enjoy all that this local riding community has to offer (including the ever-popular pony rides for kids). The entry fee is by donation ($5 is suggested), and bring cash as debit and credit are not accepted on site.
GET
Back on your ‘real world’ sleep schedules
Why? If you start before all regular programming resumes, it won’t be as difficult to get people mobilized in the morning when the time comes.
PLAY
Charades with your kids. Play in teams so the younger family members can participate and learn the rules and actions with some help.
Why? Because you don’t have to be away on vacation or at a cottage to play games. Turn the TV off and have some fun.
