Best Things To Do In Fall:
1. Decorate your home
Give your home a fall makeover! I love decorating my home with spooky decor in October, and then I like to transition to more of a cozy look for November.
I love these bat decorations! They are super cute and inexpensive. I use them every year!
How cute are these velvet pumpkins to decorate with?! They have a bunch of different colors to choose from.
These candles will make your home feel extra cozy in the fall!
2. Bake a pie
Who doesn’t enjoy a warm pie straight from the oven? Fall is the perfect time to practice your pie-baking skills.
3. Shop for cozy sweaters
Fall is sweater season. Call up your favorite shopping buddy, and pick up some new cute and cozy sweaters for the cold weather.
4. Buy a fall drink from your favorite coffee shop
I love going to Starbucks in the fall and ordering a pumpkin spice latte. It’s become a tradition of mine.
5. Visit your local pumpkin patch
Head to your local pumpkin patch for a fun fall activity your whole family will enjoy. You could pick up pumpkins to carve (or use for decor) while you are there.
6. Decorate or carve pumpkins
Decorating pumpkins is the perfect activity to do with kids in the fall. My kids always have so much fun decorating their pumpkins and being creative. When they are done, I will use them for decor around my home.
My kids love using stickers to decorate their pumpkins!
Carving pumpkins is a super fun fall activity to do with older kids or friends. You could even host a pumpkin carving party at your home and start a new fall tradition.
I found this pumpkin carving kit on Amazon with 4.7 stars.
7. Watch Halloween movies
Have a relaxing movie night at home, and watch your favorite Halloween movies.
Halloween movies to watch:
- Hocus Pocus
- Halloween Town
- The Haunted Mansion

These are some good Halloween movies to watch that aren’t too scary.

10. Go to a Farmer’s market
Head to your local farmer’s market, and buy some delicious fruit and vegetables.

I make homemade chicken noodle soup, pretty much, every week in the fall. There is something about eating soup on a cold day that feels comforting.

Roasting marshmallows is the perfect activity to do on cool autumn nights.

All you need is graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to create this cozy and delicious treat!
