Many of us dream of a summer near the water. That’s why we love Marta Malviya‘s beach cottage near the shores of Lake Michigan. A 1920s renovation project, Marta and her husband, Raj, are mostly done with their beach cottage, perfect for making family memories now and down the road. The couple is learning how to incorporate their innate design style with the cottage’s 1920s character.

So you might have guessed by now that it’s fall (I know, we were pretty subtle about it this year). And something pretty cool about the changing seasons is that different produce becomes available for us to add to our diets—namely, pumpkin errethang. Sure you can get pumpkin flavored anything this time of year, but we’re excited to be cooking with the real deal and making some sweet and savory dishes that we’re sure your whole family will love.

Fall is one of the greatest seasons to be able to explore the world around you, especially for kids in their first few years of life. The temperature rapidly changes, there are all kinds of weather (wind, thunder, perhaps even snow), and the coolest trick Mother Nature can pull—the leaves change color. Fall crafts are a fun and accessible way for you and your kids to experience, appreciate, and learn about the patterns of fall together.
