Shalom, friends!

The changing of the seasons always brings a special sense of anticipation, especially as we approach the Autumn months. I am so excited to share something I have been working on close to my heart: the Fall Feast Planning Guides are officially ready for you!

My hope is that these guides bring clarity, peace, and joy to your home as you prepare to celebrate the Appointed Times.

A Quick Heart-to-Heart Before You Begin

Before you dive in, I want to share a quick, transparent note from my heart to yours. I am not perfect in my knowledge of these feasts. Like many of you, I am on a lifelong journey of learning and growing. The information, schedules, and ideas in these guides are simply drawn from the best sources and understandings I currently have available to me.

Because of this, I want to encourage you to do your own research. Let these guides be a helpful jumping-off point, but dive into the scriptures and history for yourself! Additionally, please use your own discretion when choosing which activities to participate in throughout the guide. Every family is unique, and you should always choose what aligns best with your home and your conviction.

There are several days that include Native American or Indigenous People Days and I know my family can trace its roots back to certain tribes. It is important to remember the people who came before us, and all that they sacrificed for us. I have made a menu to try for these days:
