Seasonal traditions–I hope to make this Halloween blog hop a new tradition. An old one I like to do every year is give out candy. I would say making homemade pumpkin cake in October is a new autumn tradition, invented since my husband the gardener knows how to grow enough awesome pumpkins to outpace the hungry squirrels in our yard. I want to bake and cook with pumpkin every fall now. It’s really fun. I am going to have a pumpkin cooking theme in this month’s newsletter.
Do you have any seasonal routines or traditions that you enjoy?
BAKING! Anything sweet and everything with pumpkin

Last year, I started baking pumpkin cookies; that’s our new tradition, I suppose. None of us like pumpkin pie, but we all liked the pumpkin cookies, so I’m going to continue making those and also experiment with a few other pumpkin recipes I’ve found. My children think I should start the holiday baking in October. I might do that. Traditions are important. 🙂

Thank you, Michelle! I plan to put a couple pumpkin recipes in my October newsletter, which comes out tomorrow. Would love any links you’re willing to share!
That’s great to hear. I am only at this ripe age learning how important traditions are. I’m enjoying creating new ones, appreciating those I already have, and learning about the traditions of others. Thanks for sharing yours. Happy Friday!
