Autumn is a wonderful time of year with the Fall foliage and colorful leaves decorating the streets. Crisp Fall days create a great opportunity to bake homemade cookies. October 1st is National Homemade Cookies Day. What a great time to bake with your loved ones and share them with co-workers, friends, and neighbors. Other fun "National" days to be creative with this month are Get Funky Day, Do Something Nice Day, and Noodle Day.
