Happy Fall Y'All
Fall has officially arrived here on Long Island, which means pumpkin everything, apple picking, crisp mornings, cozy sweaters… and twice the feet running in opposite direction. For us moms, this season can be such a fun time to get outside and make some memories with our little ones—even if getting everyone out the door sometimes feels like a full-contact sport. Our family always creates a fall bucket list and I thought I would share some of them with you:
[🎃] Pumpkin picking — Let each twin choose their own pumpkin and see if they pick completely different ones… or fight over the exact same pumpkin.
🍏 Apple picking — A great way to burn some toddler energy while sneaking a few apples into your own bag. (We actually do pumpkin and apple picking at the same place, at the same time. We pull the kids out of school 1 hour earlier and head out during the week. We finish by 5, head to our favorite restaurant and then head home for showers!)
🍂 Fall nature walks — Collect colorful leaves, look for acorns, and let the kids search for the biggest pumpkin-colored leaf they can find.
🌽 Corn mazes & farm visits — Perfect for teamwork (or an excellent opportunity to discover which kid has the better sense of direction!).
🐐 Visit a local farm or petting zoo — Fall farm days are always fun!
🧺 Pack a fall picnic — Bring cider, snacks, blankets, and let the kids run around while you enjoy approximately 4.5 minutes of sitting down.
🎨 Make fall crafts — Try matching handprint turkeys, leaf art, or let each twin decorate a mini pumpkin.
📸 Take those annual fall photos — (Bonus points if all the kids are looking at the camera at the same time.)
And remember, Moms...You don't need a Pinterest-perfect fall. Sometimes the best memories are muddy shoes, mismatched jackets, leaves in everyone's hair, cider spilled in the car, and some very happy kids. So grab your pumpkins, pack the snacks, embrace the chaos, and enjoy this beautiful season!

Letter from our Vice President
Hello everyone,
As I am writing this letter there is a storm approaching us. I have always loved any kind of storm when the children were younger. I would love to get all types of food and snacks so we could have picnics on the living room, we lived in a mother daughter house so in the winter my mom would make hot chocolate for them and in the summer lemonade and iced tea. It was fun. Life moves so fast. As moms we try to do as much as we can with our children. Children love our time with them. Moms you are all doing great. I know September was a tough month with children starting school and moms going back to work. But you did it.
Dont forget many fun things are coming up in October for moms and children.
See you all October 13th, 2026 at Bohemia Recreation center.
Hugs,
Diana
President
