Fall brings not only cool temperatures, falling leaves, pumpkins and hay rides, but lots of social activities. In every town there is surely a “Fall Festival” of some sort. Not to mention trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving and household decorating. And this is only the beginning. With the other major holidays approaching our families’ social calendars are going to fill up, fast. I’m tired already, and it’s not even Halloween.

Time to find the balance.

We accidentally bought my son two Halloween costumes this year. I got one and my husband bought one. We decided to keep both of them knowing that he’d have several occasions to wear them this month. Then, I got to thinking … we’re trying to do to much. I opted out of one Halloween party and limited our other Halloween activities to the ones that are most important to us as a family.

Take a moment today to step back and see to what you are committed. What is most important? Can you subtract one event from your calendar?

Excuse me while I return that extra Halloween costume.
