For your kid's fall party, try the Three-Legged Pumpkin Dash. Pair up two kids and secure one leg from each child with a soft scarf. Give each team a small pumpkin to carry, and race to the finish line. To make it more challenging, have them carry a water balloon! The pumpkin or balloon must survive to be counted the winner!
Before winter fully hits, have your sprinkler lines blown out to prevent frozen and cracked water lines. If you use a water hose, do the same (or unwind and let drain). It's also a good time to cover your outside hose outlets with a protective bib. Freeze damage banished for the season!
With cooler weather, we'll start seeing fires in home fireplaces. How about that smoke alarm? Every level of your home should have one. One thing you might not have considered, if yours is over 8 years old, you might consider replacing it. Upgraded safety is never overrated, and it might help you survive that unexpected fire.
Walking challenges are easy to follow through with during summer, and you can maintain that energy burn even as the season changes. There's the local gym, the nearby high school track, or you can shift to indoor cycling. Perhaps even a portable stepper. Set your iPad in front of you, start a favorite show, and step away! Your "walk" will disappear quick as a wink!
This isn't meditation but mindfulness about how you are doing. Take a few minutes each morning to consider how you feel. Aches, pains? If you take medications, how are you responding? Afterwards, take notes (good or bad) so that at your next medical appointment, you've got something to share with your medical professional.
