September

For most of us, the summer was over before we even thought about doing everything we wanted to do. I know for myself it was as if the weeks went by so fast and now I'm looking up at September and the crisp weather of fall(Although, I still sneak off for an hour or so to the beach and some reading time during warmer days). Reality does say that fall is here, which is great too. I love to take my kids apple picking, jump on a hayride, nighttime bonfires, cornfield maze, they are just alot of fun at any age. Another few months and we will be in winter gear, taking out the shovels, getting ready for the first snow. I LOVE the snow too, especially when it is one of the first storms and the new snow is falling at night glistening under the streetlights. Everything white and quiet. We are New Englanders, we love all four seasons which is why most of us continue to live here. Imagine never getting to experience true fall foilage, winter snowball fights and the beauty of springs first flowers. I'm not sure I could live without some of it including a cozy fireplace on a chilly night holding a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream. It's the simplist things in life that are the greatest if you really think about it.

So, we are here with some of the most stunning fall foilage in the United States. Complimented by seaside communities, ocean views, forested areas full of rivers and streams, small towns, and beautiful vistas during this colorful season - In Southern New England, it's inavoidable to miss seeing the beauty everywhere you look. When I was young, I used to press the leaves into a book so they would keep their color but first we used to iron the leaves between two pieces of wax paper to preserve them then cut the wax paper to shape around the leave. Just a little fun tip that maybe you can do with your kids this season.

The Fall Women's Expo is coming up on October 3rd at Twin River and we have some amazing things planned. Once again, you can come and enjoy fashion shows, cooking demonstrations, speminars, presentations, entertainment, food and wine tastings and of course shopping, shopping, shopping...just in time for the holidays (and a little something for yourself of course). Make sure you bring your friends and sign up online so that you can get a discount coupon or two for one coupon for the event. It's going to be a great time. Can't spill the beans and let you know everything that is going on but if you go to the website at www.southernnewenglandwomensexpo.com you will be able to see the event schedule and lineup. Come and join us, have a great day of pampering and some overdue "you" time!

And for all our single friends who have just had enough of the night club scene and kids young enough to be our own... I hope you can join us for some relaxed networking, drinks and free appetizers at Twin Oaks Restaurant in Cranston on September 21st. Twin Oaks has done an exceptional job at our events in the past and this event itself is just a relaxed, no stress, have a drink with some friends type of event. No name tags, no speed dating, no expectations, no pressure... Come and Join Us! Registration is requested at http://twinoakssinglesnetworking-autohome.eventbrite.com/

The next issue of SNEWoman Magazine is also in the works. It was a big decision to skip the summer issue and make the second issue October thru December but there was just so much to offer during those months that we just couldn't give up the chance for our second issue to come out when so many exciting things were going on. And I have to tell you, it is looking amazing. The articles in this issue have surpassed the depth of the Premiere Issue and you will be able to learn things that you didn't know you already didn't know....how's that...lol...

Ok, so just a chat for the night. I really just wanted to check in with everyone. Say, welcome to fall and hope your summer was amazing. Keep an eye out for information about the next issue which is being layed out now. There may be one or two more spots available for advertising but they will go on a first come first serve basis. Hope to be seeing you all at the Fall Women's Expo, don't forget to go to the website to get your discount admission passes. It's a great deal and worth logging on for! Wishing you all the most incredible week!
