Monthly Musings

 



1. Favourite fall traditions.
Back to school, watching the salmon jump in the Humber River, and enjoying the foliage. We often have a trip planned, I think fall is one of the best times to travel.

2. How do you celebrate Halloween?
We carve pumpkins, the kids dress up for school, they go trick-or-treating, and we give out candy at our house.

3. Favourite fall recipes - please share links.

4. Favourite fall fashion pieces.
You can see a post I did about some fall finds here. Some pants from Mango and sweaters Aritzia

5. How do you decorate for fall?
I'm not decorating this year, but here is a link to what I put up a couple of years ago. 

6. Pumpkin Spice? Oh yes or over it? 
It's fine but I don't seek it out.  I will probably have one pumpkin spice latte when the weather turns cooler, and I enjoy pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.

7. Thoughts on candy corn?
I don't think I've ever had a piece of candy corn in my life. I think this was more of an American candy and only recently made an apperance here in Canada so it missed my youth.  Now I only eat candy that I really like, like swedish berries or red nibs.

8. Favourite fall/Halloween movie?
Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family and ET.

9. Apple pie, pumpkin pie, or cider doughnut?
  I always have time for apple pie and pumpkin pie and will usually take a bit of each at Thanksgiving. Like the candy corn, a cider doughnut is not as common here, so I don't know if I've ever had one.

10. Bonfire, hayride or haunted house?
Bonfire. I love it any time of year, but especially when it is darker and cooler in the evenings. 

Linking up with Holly and Patty.

  3. Fall is a great time to travel, especially to anywhere that the fall foliage is at its finest. I can see that candy corn is an American thing, I certainly never saw it in England.

  4. I didn't think of ET; I loved that movie as a kid! I kind of miss living in an area where we get trick or treaters; it's been 20 years since I've handed out candy.

  5. I didn't think about the fact that candy corn isn't really available here but you are so right! I'd love to travel in the fall more but working in a school prevents that -- boo :( I also feel like pumpkin spice isn't as big a thing here as it is in the US.

  6. ET was the first movie I saw in the movie theater when I was a kid. I remember being scared. haha Pumpkin carving is one of our favorite traditions too.
