Today we are happy to announce the biggest cash giveaway our site has ever had. We teamed up with some other bloggers to put together a prize of $1,200 cash.
$1,200 can go a long way. Whether you use it to pad your emergency fund or purchase Christmas presents, a cash infusion of $1,200 is huge!
I’m sure you also would have no trouble thinking of ways to use the $1,200 if you are the winner. With the holidays right around the corner extra money is always a good thing.
Since the theme of the Giveaway is “Fall Fun” I thought I would share a few of my favorite things about the Fall. I already mentioned a few of these in my post 5 Frugal Fall Activities, but some are new. If I listed everything I liked about Fall it would be quite a list. Along with Summer it’s one of my favorite seasons.
1) Cooler Weather
While I love the warm Summer weather – especially as someone who has to experience the frozen tundra that is Minnesota winter – I really like the cooler weather that comes with the Fall.
2) Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. I typically go to my parent’s house and it’s hard to beat my Mom’s cooking. Besides that it’s also my brother’s birthday so it’s fun to celebrate with him as well. A few other things I like about Thanksgiving is the fact that I usually get the day off on Friday and there’s always some great football games going on.
3) Apple Orchard and Carving Pumpkins
Apple cider is one of my favorite drinks and is something I always look forward to each Fall. Going to the apple orchard and picking up a gallon is always on my Fall “to do” list. I also have carved pumpkins pretty much my entire life, so I like to try to find time for it each Fall.
What are some of the things you love about Fall?
