Fall is in the air! We took a hike in Cumberland National Park and saw red leaves falling from trees. I love this time of year when the weather finally cools off, parks clear out as older kids go back to school and gardens are ready to harvest. To celebrate Because Babies Grow Up is hosting a Fall Fling to celebrate and welcome fall. It’s been fun to see all the back-to-school celebrating, but we feel a little out of touch with that since our children aren’t in school. The Fall Fling is meant to bring the celebrating to little ones with fun stuff just for them.

For the next two weeks, we’ll be discussing new products, music and activities. Each day you’ll find something fun to celebrate fall and help your little ones make the transition from summer to fall. We want to hear how you celebrate fall, too. Each Friday I’ll collect all the Fall Fling posts from your blogs and highlight them here. We even have prizes from some great sponsors to help you get ready for fall.
