Lately I have noticed myself worrying a lot. And if I'm honest, what I worry about most right now is how fast life is moving and that my baby girl is almost two - two! She is changing every day and every day seems to go faster than the next. And there is absolutely nothing I can do to slow it down.
As I was walking down the street the other day, I was suddenly struck by the awesome beauty of the changing trees around me. It dawned on me then, change can be scary, but it can also be incredibly beautiful.
So, this weekend, I am embracing the inevitable force of change in life and the joy it can bring. From apple picking to carving pumpkins and jumping in leaves, fall is a season for fun. And it's the most fun when making memories with my inquisitive and joyful toddler. Luckily, there are so many ways to celebrate fall here in Chicago and I hope you'll embrace this season of change by getting out and exploring some of these fun (and free!) fests:
