Mamas, fall is here, and that means it’s time for YOU to lean into cozy self-care! Instead of the usual “bubble bath and candles” list, I created a Fall Self-Care Passport that’s 100% Woodlands-approved. We’re talking pumpkin spice pick-me-ups, brisk hikes through our nature trails, hot stone massages, and live music under the stars. These little seasonal treats are just what your mind, body, and soul need before the holiday rush kicks in. Enjoy!
Mind - Stimulate your creativity, learn something new, or simply clear out the mental clutter.
- Check out spooky or cozy reads at The Mitchell Library – choose mysteries, thrillers, or heartwarming autumn novels

- Join a fall-themed workshop at The Woodlands Art League – drawing, painting, card-making, or journal-building
- Attend a lecture at Lone Star College – Montgomery – the Lyceum Speaker Series keeps your mind sharp year-round
- Take a pie-baking or pizza-making class at Sur La Table in Market Street – fall comfort food doubles as brain and body care
Body - Move, stretch, and treat your body with the energy it needs for the busy season ahead.
