It's starting to transition to fall, and that means apple-picking season is upon us. Driving to the local orchard is one of our family's favorite fall traditions. We load up the car and head to Apple Annie's to spend a cool fall morning picking apples and tasting all the apple treats they serve up like apple pancakes, apple cider, and, of course, apple pie! We love their homemade apple cider and always come home with a jug or two. We've jazzed it up a bit for this hot apple cider cocktail.

Baby, it's cold outside! Fall has arrived and the nights are getting longer and chillier. Tonight the low is 19 and the rest of the week is following suit. So, what do we need when it's cold outside, girls? Something warm to drink, of course! For me, this is typically ginger or chamomile tea. On special nights, though, I make this warming hard apple cider. This hot and spicy nectar will warm you from the inside out. Just what the doctor ordered!ContentsWhy apple cider?

It's happening! The leaves are changing here in Vermont and it's a spectacular time of year to visit and see Mother Nature do her thing. While many of Vermont's towns and roads look spectacular in fall, there's nothing like seeing a mountainside dressed up in yellow, red and orange. That's why Vermont's ski resorts are a perfect place to take in the scenery and get active with your family.

We just dropped our daughter off in Clinton, New York for her first year of college. While I prepped by reading a few articles, there were a few things I learned along the way that I thought I would share to make your move in day easier with your freshmen. These tips should be helpful for first-time families, and might even be great reminder for some of you bringing in upperclassmen to college as well.
