Hi Sisters,
What do you like to do this time of year that doesn't stretch your budget? Do you have a favorite Girls Night Out spot? Somewhere you like to go with your family? Favorite escape from the holiday hustle and bustle?

I just read about Webb Ranch Farm the other day, and am planning on taking my son there this Saturday to visit his first pumpkin patch. They have all sorts of activities for under $5.

I also like anywhere with warm apple cider with cinnamon sticks brewing.
Leaf crushing: Take a child (or two...or more) out with you on a walk through your neighborhood, or University Ave, or any other street that is blessed with lots of gorgeous leafy trees. Enjoy the crunch of leaves under your feet, inevitably morphing into chasing after the "perfect" crunchy leaf to claim. Also a great time to pick up any that are beautifully colored, interesting shapes, etc - take them home, place them in a small dish or plate as a memento of the activity. Cost: free, unless you stop for hot chocolate or cider...
