Just for Moms: It’s Fall, Y’all

No matter what season, Mamas ain’t making it without coffee. Recently, I’ve been living on Lucky Jack Coffee. It’s a handcrafted, sustainable coffee that’s roasted in small batches with a slow cold-steep brew process. They come in great flavors, all of which are certified organic: Caramel, Mocha, Vanilla, and the seasonal Pumpkin Spice. Plus, Lucky Jack also offers nitro oat milk lattes. luckyjackcoffee.com.

Creating a calming candle at home is possible with Siblings, a DIY candle kit that uses eco-friendly materials to encourage the reuse of its awesome vessels. Not only do the candles smell delicious, but it’s a fun and easy activity to do with the family. Just microwave the bag to melt the wax, add the wick to the vessel, and pour the wax. Genius! siblings.co.

It’s Fall Y’all!

BY ZLATA FAERMAN

Fall happens to be my favorite season of the year. There’s something special about the changing colors of leaves, cozier outfits, crisp fresh air, and the multitude of outdoor activities available to choose from. All that, and my hair doesn’t frizz as much as it does in the summer!

Brands like Starbucks, Bath and Body Works, and even Budweiser notoriously offer up pumpkin-spiced flavors before the season even begins. Truth be told, I’ve never tried pumpkin, let alone anything pumpkin-spiced, but, hey, crowds go wild for the flavor.

There’s plenty of other fall-themed products to try outside of just pumpkin, so here are some of my picks:

As fall progresses and the days get shorter, the mornings feel harder. I love simple and quick breakfast options because chances are I’m tired and groggy from a Real Housewives binge on Bravo from the night before. Purely Elizabeth’s oatmeal options are crafted with a plant-based protein and superfood ingredients, like chia and flax, to fuel the start of your day. Fall flavors include Classic Cinnamon and Apple Cinnamon Pecan. purelyelizabeth.com.

Little Bridges provides a set of fun-filled activities that are designed to inspire meaningful conversations and connections between kids and adults. I was a huge fan of its Grandma & Me: In the Kitchen Activity Kit (well, my mom was!), and I’m really pumped for the newest activity kit called Family Time Fun. It offers more than 45 boredom-busting ideas for fun and memorable play, perfect for those rainy, cold fall days when you can’t go hiking or apple picking! littlebridges.com. Another easy breakfast option? Ellenos, my favorite yogurt ever, is a cult-favorite Greek yogurt brand.

It recently launched a seasonal Pumpkin Pie flavor made with its iconic base and enhanced with a swirl of pumpkin puree and a pumpkin crumble on top. ellenos.com.
