As we are moving into the cooler seasons I've been thinking about how many awesome traditions we have in our family that we get to share with you. Some have been passed down and others have been new ones we've started our little family, so I wanted you to know where these came from as you grow with them.
Since the autumn season that I was pregnant with Guin, every year on the first snowfall I have gathered up a small bag of the season's first snow to add it to a bath. This originally came from a pagan tradition to celebrate the changing of the seasons, and I loved its total impracticality and whimsy, so it stuck.
The first dusting of snow this year came in early October, so daddy went outside before the sun came along to melt it away and gathered enough snow off of our ripe pumpkin plants for our baths.
