Looking for a simple joy this fall? 🍂 Try gathering colorful leaves with your kids, grandkids, or friends. Press them in books, create a garland, or write a memory on each one. It’s a creative way to connect, reminisce, and celebrate nature’s beauty together. Sometimes the smallest traditions create the warmest memories.
