Why I Love Fall

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons—it’s finally not sweltering outside anymore, the trees burst with color, and Halloween parties abound!

I much prefer Halloween to Christmas. December gets way too hectic, and there always seems to be no time to actually enjoy the season. Preparing for Halloween, on the other hand, isn’t nearly as time-consuming, which makes the preparations all the more fun because they’re not rushed. My daughter and I had tons of fun making several...

Jersey is also known as a ‘holiday isle’ and so during the summer the place receives many visitors and a lot of them are family and friends living elsewhere who come here to enjo...

Guest Post/Feature: Laura Chapman

To my dear, beloved Fall,

Hey, it’s me, Laura. Again. I hope you aren’t getting tired of hearing me say it, because I love you, I truly do, and I’m not sure I could ever stop singing your praises.

I love your sights. My hometown and state never look more gorgeous than they do on a clear (or, let’s be real, even stormy) autumn day. And I’ll never forget just how gorgeous New England was in the fall when those leaves change color. (It’s like nature putting on a new, limited engagement performan...
