Hello, Fall! 🍁 Events, Mom Picks & Fresh Reads
Immune-boosting tips, family photographers, fall guides, and your weekly Valley roundup.
Happy Monday, Valley Moms!
🍂 Fun Fact: The first day of fall (autumnal equinox) is one of only two days each year when day and night are nearly equal in length around the world. Balance in nature—and maybe a reminder for our busy mom lives, too.
Fall is officially here! This week, we’re sharing immune-boosting tips from a local nurse, fall events and guides, and some of our favorite reads for moms. Plus, don’t miss this week’s events roundup below.

Book Review: Double Trouble in Walla Walla 📚
Looking for a silly, tongue-twisting read-aloud? Double Trouble in Walla Walla is a laugh-out-loud picture book full of wordplay kids will love. Great for ages 4–8, it’s a perfect choice for bedtime or classroom reading. Bonus: it sneaks in some early literacy skills while your kids giggle.
Our Mom of the Month for September is…Heather L.!
Here’s what one of her dear friends had to say about her:
“Heather is such a kind friend, but an even more amazing mom to 3! She’s always putting everyone first and manages to homeschool, do all the mom duties, and creates such a loving environment for her kids. And she loves Jesus! 🤍 someone I look up to as a wife and mother.“
Congrats, Heather! Enjoy a tasty treat from Mela Coffee Roasting Co.!

🙏 September Bible Verse of the Month
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
When the schedules fill up and the to-do list feels endless, remember: slowing down isn’t lazy — it’s sacred. God often speaks in the quiet moments we make room for.
