How I Keep Us Warm with Fall Dating Ideas
This time of year, is a great time to set up different dates with your spouse. I like to do things with just my husband and then sometimes we involve the kids. Whatever we do, the intention is to focus on each other, stay warm, enjoy the outing, add some apple cider in their somewhere and to make it as fun as possible. These are things specific to this weather and atmosphere that can be intentional for your relationship. Be creative and remember to make memories that last.
Fall is a wonderful season for romantic and fun date ideas. Here are some suggestions to help you and your partner make the most of this beautiful time of year:
1. Apple Picking
Visit a local orchard and spend the day picking apples. You can enjoy the fresh air, take some cute photos, and later use the apples to bake a pie together1.
2. Pumpkin Patch Visit
Head to a pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins. You can carve them together and even have a friendly competition to see who can create the best design2.
3. Scenic Hike
Take a hike through a nearby trail to enjoy the fall foliage. The colorful leaves and crisp air make for a perfect romantic outing3.

A Call for Support
Dear Iconic Family,
Two years ago, I embarked on a journey that changed my life forever. Today, I am thrilled to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my first book, “Breaking Fear.” This milestone is not just a personal achievement but a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and the incredible support from all of you.
A Journey of Healing
“Breaking Fear” was born out of my own struggles and triumphs. It is a story of healing, of finding strength in the face of adversity, and of breaking free from the chains of fear that once held me back due to losing our child during a miscarriage. Through my words, I aimed to share my journey with the world, hoping to inspire others to confront their fears and embrace their true selves.
Impact on Readers
Over the past two years, I have been humbled by the countless messages and stories from readers who have found solace and strength in my book.

Snuggle UP with These Cozy Indoor Date Ideas
I am a homebody by nature and love my warm blanket, hot chocolate and lots of pillows. Adding my husband to the mix is an even better treat in these cooler nights. A cozy indoor date night is a perfect way to enjoy each other’s company without leaving the comfort of your home. Here are some ideas to make your evening special:
1. Home-Cooked Dinner
Prepare a delicious meal together. Choose a recipe that you both love or try something new. Cooking together can be a fun bonding experience, and you get to enjoy a homemade meal at the end.
2. Movie Marathon
Pick a theme or a series of movies you both enjoy. Create a cozy atmosphere with blankets, pillows, and dim lighting. Don’t forget the popcorn and some hot cocoa or mulled cider.
3. Game Night
Pull out your favorite board games or card games. A little friendly competition can be a lot of fun. If you prefer video games, find a cooperative game you can play together.
4. Indoor Picnic
Set up a picnic in your living room. Lay out a blanket and enjoy a spread of your favorite snacks and finger foods. You can even include some wine or sparkling cider for a special touch.
5. DIY Spa Night
Create a relaxing spa experience at home. Light some scented candles, play soothing music, and take turns giving each other massages. You can also enjoy facials, foot baths, and other pampering treatments.
6. Reading Together
Choose a book you both are interested in and take turns reading aloud to each other. This can be a cozy and intimate way to spend time together, especially if you enjoy storytelling.
7. Craft Night
Get creative with a craft project. Whether it’s painting, knitting, or making homemade candles, working on a project together can be a fun and rewarding experience.
8. Stargazing Indoors
If you have a projector, you can create an indoor stargazing experience. Project images of the night sky onto your ceiling and enjoy the beauty of the stars from the warmth of your home.
9. Music and Dancing
Create a playlist of your favorite songs and have a dance party in your living room. Dancing together can be a great way to connect and have fun.
10. Memory Lane
Spend the evening reminiscing about your favorite memories together. Look through old photos, watch home videos, and share stories about your favorite moments.
These ideas can help you create a memorable and cozy indoor date night. Which one sounds the most appealing to you?
