Nanny to Mommy

For many people, this is the very best time of year. It certainly has many wonderful benefits to it that a lot of people are happy about, from the way that nature appears to the sorts of activities that you are able to do compared to other times of year. If you also love autumn, and you would like to make the most of it, you might want to ensure that you and your family are doing whatever you can to fully get into the autumn mood. In this article we are going to look at some of the best ways that you might be able to do that, so you can absolutely enjoy the autumn in whatever way you would most like.

It is arguably the best time of year to go walking in the woods, and if you haven’t already then this is something that you might want to think about first and foremost. There is something wonderful about going for long walks through the leaves in the woods, especially if you have young children and you want them to experience some of the joy you might have had as a child yourself. If you have any woodland near you, then this should be simple, but if not you might want to think about what you can do to go and find one, even if that means a family road trip for the weekend. 

For whatever reason, autumn is also the time of year when you are most likely to want to eat some hearty and delicious snacks, and this too can be a wonderful way to get your family in the autumn mood. There are a lot of ways that you can approach this, but one of the best is to simply get baking with your children, as this way you are also able to enjoy some time in the kitchen together. For a particularly delicious and enthralling recipe, check out this no bake pumpkin cheesecake, or consider trying to come up with something completely original by yourselves. In either case, you are going to have a great time and produce something delicious.

Of course, it is also the time of year when you are most likely to want to simply curl up on the sofa as a family and watch movies. Around Halloween time there are always the scary movies to watch, of course, but beyond that you can start to get into those heartfelt, feel-good family fun movies too, which can be great at this time of year and a kind of preparation for the family movies that will come shortly later around Christmas time. Grab a few movies, including some that you have seen and some you have always wanted to, or some new one that have just come out, and book your family in for a few nights on the sofa, with some autumnal snacks to munch on as you go too.
