There’s something magical about October. The air gets cooler, the leaves get louder (seriously—have you ever heard them crunch under boots?), and the world suddenly smells like cinnamon, pumpkins, and campfires.
This is the time of year when cozy sweaters come out of hiding, hot drinks replace iced coffees, and families start leaning into the simple joys of the season. It’s fall at its best—beautiful, busy, and full of laughter.
⚾🏈🏒 Sports, Sports… and More Sports!
October is a big month for sports lovers.
-
Baseball is wrapping up its season with the playoffs—cue the nail-biting and loud cheering from the living room.
-
Football is in full swing—parents are bundled up on the sidelines with coffee cups in hand while kids run the field like mini pros.
-
And of course, hockey lovers are back in their happy place as the puck drops and new seasons begin.
Between practices, tailgates, and games, October is the month when bleachers feel like a second home.
🍂 Fall Fun & Family Time
But October isn’t all about the scoreboard. It’s about making memories. It’s about:
-
Crunchy leaves under your boots on family walks
-
Pumpkin patches and hayrides
-
Hot apple cider after chilly nights
-
Decorating the house with cobwebs and pumpkins (and trying to keep the dog from knocking them over)
-
Bonfires with gooey marshmallows and scary stories
These are the moments that turn into family legends—stories told for years at Thanksgiving tables and family get-togethers.
📝 Capture the Moments Before They Pass
Between the games, the pumpkin pie, and trying to remember where you stored the Halloween costumes, it’s easy to let these days slip by. That’s why our Mom and Dad Life Story Journals are perfect for this season.
Take a few minutes to sit down with your parents or grandparents and ask:
🍁 “What was fall like when you were a kid?”
⚾ “Did you play sports or cheer from the sidelines?”
🎃 “What’s your favorite fall memory?”
Those conversations spark laughter, nostalgia, and stories you might not hear otherwise. And once they’re written down, those memories can live on for generations.
💛 October: A Season to Slow Down and Soak It In
Life moves fast. But October has a special way of reminding us to pause. To gather around a fire. To cheer a little louder. To laugh a little longer. And to capture the stories that make your family yours.
