Fall is my second favorite season. Spring's my favorite, but fall is a close second. There's the chill in the air. Hoodies. The smell of cinnamon and pumpkin, burning wood, and the crunch of a fresh-picked apple. There's something about fall that makes me want to get out and try new things. It has to be the weather for me. I don't do well in hot and humid weather, so the relief just feels so good to me.

Experience all the senses during fall

One of the things that I think makes fall so special is that it engages all the senses higher than any other season. The incredible sights of the fall foliage. Check out some great places HERE. Experience the smells of a pumpkin spice latte or hot cider. The tastes are next level with caramel apples, cinnamon, apple cider donuts, or maple anything. Sounds like a crackling bonfire, crunching leaves under your feet, or the cheers of the crowd at a football game. I really love the feel of fall. The touch of a warm fuzzy sweater, the nip in the air. That cozy feeling that has you wanting the season to never end.

Lean into your adventurous side

There are so many adventurous things you can do during the fall. Now adventure doesn't have to be zip-lining or doing a mud run. Adventure is all about new ideas and experiences. That could mean anything you haven't done before. Cook something new for Thanksgiving. Carve a pumpkin. Hang out with friends at a bonfire. That may not sound adventurous, but for me it would be. I sat around a campfire before, but never a big huge bonfire. I may have to add that to my fall bucket list.

Your fall bucket list

It's now officially fall, and I would recommend you make your own fall bucket list. You can also get some ideas  of things to do with kids HERE. Need some inspiration? Here you go.

Bake an apple pie

I love pie. Blueberry is my favorite, but apple is a close second. I always go apple picking and have more than I can eat. This year, I'm going to learn how to bake an apple pie. I'm a pretty good cook, but when it comes to baking? I'm awful! Lol

Do a corn maze with friends

I've done this for the past couple years, and it is SO much fun!

Make my own fall scented candle

When I was in the 2nd grade, my teacher Mrs. Hitchcock had us make candles in class and I will always remember that. This fall, I'm going to make my own fall scented candle.

Go to a fall festival

There are so many great festivals that happen during the fall. I can't wait to get out there for one of the fun fall festivals. Gotta love a beer boot!

Decorate a pumpkin

There are so many different ways you can decorate a pumpkin. Carving is just one of them. Can't wait to get in touch with my crafty side!

Buy some new fuzzy socks

New. Fuzzy. Socks. That is all. (Fireplace not included)

Go apple picking. Duh

An obvious one, but always fun. It's getting really expensive, but worth putting in the budget.

Read a book set in the fall

Any excuse to read a good book! Just googled "fall autumn books," so I think I'll go with this.

Roast pumpkin seeds

I used to do this with my mother when I was a kid, and haven't done it since. They're so delicious!

My door could use a little fall spirit. Looking forward to doing this one.

Write five letters to people I'm grateful for

Thanksgiving is the time of year when we're reminded of the things we should be thankful for. It should be every day, but sometime we need a reminder. Sure I could send an email or a text, but there's something about a handwritten letter that is so special.

Create a new recipe with a can of pumpkin puree

We've all seen those cans of pumpkin in the store. Does anyone make anything besides pumpkin pie with them? I'm going to try.

Eat all the cider donuts and drink all the apple cider. All of it!

Don't think I need to explain this one.

Go on a fall hike

Now when I say hike, I'm not talking about a steep limb up a mountain. More like a long path with a little incline. My knees won't let me be great! Lol

Visit a sunflower farm

I see the pictures on everyone's socials in the fall, but I've never been. This year is the year.
