With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s time to get your planning underway. To help you have a fun and festive celebration, our family at Le Montreaux apartment community in Austin, Texas is sharing our top tips to ensure your Thanksgiving is the best one yet.
And from our family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season to come.

Set Your Table First
This is the perfect way to get in the mood for the fun to come.  Start a week before the holiday to gather the goods and all the utensils you will need for the big feast.
Whether you are setting the table for a few or the whole clan, here are some perfectly simple ideas to make a statement that the holiday is underway.
If you still have a few gourds or (uncarved) pumpkins, place those first in the middle of the table. Apples and Pears work well to add more color.  
When it comes to the place settings, you have your option from formal (China), to casual (Everyday dishes) and for the easiest of all, paper plates – which come in lots of festive designs at your local craft store or Costco.

Create Your Menu, Now.
No need to stress throughout the month; now is the time to plan all the parts from ‘soup to nuts.’  Right now, grocery stores throughout Austin are starting their Thanksgiving sales. This is always the perfect time to shop and save.  
If you are planning on fixing the entire feast by yourself, you can start this week. Factor ahead make-ahead dishes that freeze well. The Pioneer Woman website has 37 options that look delicious.  Take a peek now and get prepping!
If your schedule is already overwhelming, we suggest you head to one of the many Trader Joe shops in Austin for store-bought shortcuts for Thanksgiving Dinner. 

Engage Your Guests
Quite often, our guests and family members will ask “can I bring something?”  When planning the menu, earmark some ideas to answer, “yes!”
A simple list may include:
•    Appetizers
•    Salad
•    Dinner Rolls
•    Dessert
•    Beverages
•    Ice

Buy The Bird!
Once you have a good headcount, plan to serve ¾ to 1 pound of bird per person.  If you want leftovers (and who doesn’t!), count up to 1 to 2 pounds of Turkey per person. 
Shop for the best sale, yet do remember you get what you pay for.  You may see brands that offer a super deal, yet they don’t always have the best product.
You can freeze the bird until a few days away. Just remember, thaw it in the refrigerator, not the countertop.  

Check Cleaning Supplies
Nothing can ruin a holiday dinner more than red wine on a white tablecloth or carpet. We always have white vinegar and salt on hand and never hesitate to have a bottle of “Wine Away” close by as well.  
Here are some excellent tips to stay ahead of the spills this holiday season. This Stain Removal Chart that is posted on RealSimple.com is a super reference to have this holiday season, and year-round.  We actually printed this out and it’s hanging in a closet in our kitchen!  
 
Plan on “Downtime” for YOU!
We like to give ourselves a pre-dinner day off, and suggest you do too.  There’s no doubt you deserve it for all the planning and preparation.
And from our family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season to come.

With temperatures dropping and spectacular seasonal colors popping, there's no question that the glorious fall season has arrived in Austin.
To help you ease into the Autumn season, our family at LeMontreaux apartments in Austin is sharing some of their top ideas on what to do during the fall months in Texas. 
Want to know how to pick out the perfect pumpkin and where the best spots are for leaf peeping this fall? Read on!

How To Pick Out A Perfect Pumpkin
Throughout our colorful city, you don't have to drive far to find a pumpkin patch when you live in Austin, you will find plenty of places to pile the kids in the car to go on a road trip for the day to hunt for the perfect pumpkin!  

Sweet Berry Farm
1801 FM 1980, Marble Falls
The Jersey Barnyard
3117 TX-159, La Grange
Sweet Eats Fruit Farm
14400 E State Hwy 29, Georgetown

Crowe’s Nest Farm
10300 Taylor Lane, Manor
Indian Springs Ranch Pumpkin Patch
403 Elm View Way, Manchaca
Texas Humane Heroes Pumpkin Fest

So, how do you pick out the perfect pumpkin? It depends on the purpose. If you have plans to host a pumpkin carving party, focus on the large, uniform shapes; they are best for carving creative creatures. And here's an excellent tip to keep your artistry looking healthy well into the fall season: wipe the fruit off with bleach and water.
Here's the general rule for the perfect pumpkin pie: the smaller and heavier, the better. While picking out pumpkins, be sure to get a few squashes to make one of the richest and most delicious recipes for  Squash Soup from HowSweetEats.com.
Speaking of yummy and fun ideas, why not throw a party? It's a perfect time to get the neighbors together before the snow flies. No need to spend time doing it yourself. Make it a potluck by the pool for a perfect way to start the season.

Go Leaf Peeping in Austin!
Fall is the perfect time to take a road trip to see the changing of the colors. From the north at Windy Peak to the South at McKinney Falls State Park, you will find fairy-tale landscapes for all to enjoy.  
Speaking of which, did you know that those vivid leaf colors are actually hidden from us throughout the summer months? As the sunlight decreases and the colder temps arrive, chlorophyll production in the leaves begins to slow down and reveal the true brilliant reds, golds, and classic deep orange colors of fall.

Now, get out and get leaf pepping!

•    Windy Peak
•    River Place Nature Trail
•    McKinney Falls State Park
•    Zilker Botanical Gardens
•    Mayfield Park
•    Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
•    Commons Ford Ranch Metro Park
•    Veterans Park
•    Violet Crown Trail
•    Zilker Park
•    Lake Travis

To end our Blog, here's an appropriate rhyme created by Charles G. Eastman. He was the first Native American to be certified in Western Medicine and one of the most prolific authors and speakers on Sioux ethnohistory and American Indian affairs in the early 20th century.
The mellow moon, the changing leaves,
The earlier setting sun,
Proclaim at last, my merry boys,
The harvest time begun. –Charles G. Eastman (1816–1860)

Earlier this month, we shared a list to start this season off right.  The list was so well read that we decided to continue the trend. 
To ease you into the Autumn season, our family at Le Montreaux apartments in Austin are sharing some additional ideas to prepare for the changing of the season.  

Try Canning!
After you have selected some of the seasons’ finest fruits, its time to savor and save the flavors for those holiday feasts to come. From plums to peaches to all the prunes in season, preserving those seasonal favorites is a classic way to spend a fall day.  

To get you started, we found a super simple website that lays out the basics of canning from the folks at SeriousEats.com.

Some of the best recipes can be found at BallMasonJars.com.  Some of our favorites that are a little out of the ordinary yet ideal for fall feasts include:

Habanero Apricot Jam
Carrot Cake Jam 
Spiced Tomato Jam

And this ‘must-make’ seasonal favorite: Apple Butter

Make an Apple Pie
While we are on the subject of easing into Autumn, the seasonal aroma of a fresh baked apple pie is sure to set the scent that fall is in the air.  We have found that some of the best recipes for fall flavors are on TasteofHome.com; not just for the recipes, yet for the history and research that their team goes through to ensure each recipe is as close to perfect as it can be. 
And just when you thought you only needed ONE recipe, the website offers 25, yes 25, recipes for the perfect apple pie.

Get a Head Start on that Halloween Costume 
Although Halloween is a month away, some of the best values for Halloween costumes can be found right now.  Here’s a quick list of top spots to find the largest selection of ready-to-wear costumes in Austin:

Spirit Halloween
Party City – Sunset Valley Village
Party City – Balcones Woods

If you’re feeling a little more daring, hit the thrift or consignment shops to get your creative juices flowing.

Lucy in the Disguise with Diamonds
The Bazaar
Blue Velvet
Coco Coquette

Ride into the Sunset
Soon, the Texas Hill Country will be overflowing with the colors of the fall season.  And as soon as those temperatures cool off, it’s the perfect spot to head into the hills on horseback. Here are two of the best guided trail ride companies that we recommend.

Texas Trail Rides: For a traditional ride throughout the ranch with more adventurous options, Texas Trail Rides welcomes the novice to the most advanced.  Looking for something different to do for that next birthday or bachelor party? Check out what they call the “ultimate Texas experience” that include skeet shooting, ax throwing and trick roping, too!

Maverick Horseback Riding: Just one click into their website sets the tone with a quote from Winston S. Churchill: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” They continue to describe their approach to sharing their horses with humans. “Guests who seek out Maverick’s horsemanship experience love that we offer low-key, relaxing trail rides AND engaging, challenging and highly rewarding horsemanship experiences."

Throw a Tail Gate Party
Whether it’s in a parking lot at a local high school, a professional arena or the lawn by our pool, fall is “tail-gate season’ and a great reason to get the neighbors together. All it takes is a little preparation and before you know it, you will be cheering on your favorite team with friends and family alike. The easiest way to ease into your first tailgate gathering is to make it a potluck. This keeps it simple and ensures your guests will have their favorite foods to nosh. 

Visit a Local Farmer’s Market
If you have yet to discover the many Farmers Markets in Austin, now is an ideal time to do so. It's safe to say that the arrival of fall brings the best cooking and baking possibilities back into your kitchen. From pumpkin patches and apple picking to the colors of beets, eggplants, and sweet potatoes to accent a fall meal, the culinary choices are almost endless this time of the year.

Earlier this month we offered a list of things to do with your kids and family in Austin.  As there are so many great things to do and see, we are continuing this list of favorites of our family at LeMontreaux Apartments in Austin.

Pack a Picnic, Head to a Park

There is not enough time in one month to visit all the beautiful parks in Austin.  However, there are plenty of days ahead as you ease into Autumn to pack a picnic, pick some parks, and park it – unplugged.

The City has more than 220 parks located throughout the region. Most of these parks have a paved pathway within the park which can be used for walking, jogging, rollerblading and bicycling, or just hanging out in the shade.

Here are two of our favorites.

Pease Park – This outdoor oasis is always on our list – especially when the temperatures are a little steamy!  The kids love the Spray Ground and Jungle Jim. We love the setting that makes one unplug, unwind, and savor the last days of summer under the shady trees.

Lady Bird Lake – ALWAYS a favorite for local and visitors alike, Lady Bird Lake is a must-do for our family every summer. With more than 2.6 million visits a year, the 10-mile trail is Austin’s most recognized and popular recreational area. The Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, named for a former Austin mayor and his wife, is ideal for a long and lazy stroll with the kids by your side.

Paramount Summer Classic Film Series

Everyone loves a good movie – and now is the time to see some of the best of the past during the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series.

Coming up, it’s Batman, the Movie.   If you have yet to see Batman, the Movie, you can at the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series on August 18 at the Paramount Theater. After its first successful season on television, this deliriously campy take on the Caped Crusader made its way to cinemas with bad gadgets and larger-than-life villains in tow. As the Theater’s description best notes: “If you yearn for a time when Batman wasn’t so moody, grab your Bat Shark Repellant and head down to the theater where this zany movie was introduced to the world.”

Looking for more entertainment? Here is a list of other flicks on the schedule during the month of August

· Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

· Animal House

· The Birds

· Psycho

· Ghost Files Live!

Baby Bloomers

Baby Bloomers is a special program at the Thinkery when the museum is open exclusively for visitors ages 0–3 years and their families. It is currently being offered on Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 am only. Baby Bloomers provides caregivers and early learners the chance to experience Thinkery together in an environment focused solely on them.

Participants gather around these musical instruments while Cassandra from Cloud 9 Wellness guides you into a deep, calming state.  

Big Kid Art

Here is another library event for those ever-evolving creative minds.  Every Friday from 2:00 – 3:00 through November, the Wells Branch Community Library hosts creative art workshops that include all the supplies for this inspirational one-hour program for ages 8 and above.

Fillipe believes animals saved his life – and he wants to return the favor. He was raised in poverty, surrounded by addiction and abuse, where he felt voiceless.  Fillipe related to animals because they were voiceless too, and he fell in love with photography as a way to tell their stories. Today, he is a star of the National Geographic’s digital series “Untamed Works.” Through this passionate presentation, Fillipe will bring you face to face with lions, sharks, and one of the rarest animals in the world.
