Fall is the season where the fun stuff actually happens. It’s when traditions get made, when you end up spending a whole Saturday with your people, or a quiet morning by yourself at the farmers market. Either one counts.

So here are some lists of things to do this fall. Print them, stick them on the fridge, turn it into a game with the kids, race your sister to fill a whole row. I don’t care how you use them as long as you actually do. Cross things off. Make it the best fall you’ve had.

Fall Orchard and Farm Activities

This is the part of fall I plan my whole September around. Something happens to me the second there’s pumpkin spice and cinnamon and something about the leaves turning orange that makes me want to be outside more than any other time of the year. Here’s a list some activities to spend more time outside, they’re all the classics.

Here’s the list!

Fall Leaf and Outdoor Activities

The window on this is about three weeks and then it’s gone, which is exactly why I never get tired of it. Every year I tell myself I’ll get out and walk more while the trees are doing their thing, and every year the good weeks slip by while I’m inside answering emails.

So this list is your permission slip. Take the long way home because the road by the river is better right now. Here is a list below for you while the leaves are giving you fall!

Essential Fall Activities for the Season

These are the non-negotiables. The things that if the season ended and you hadn’t done them, you’d feel a little robbed. None of it costs much and none of it takes long. That’s sort of the trick of it. The stuff that makes a season feel like a season is almost never the expensive part.

Fall Family Traditions to Start This Year

A tradition is just something you did twice on purpose. That’s it. It doesn’t have to be old or elaborate or handed down from your grandmother.

Halloween Activities for Families

There’s a specific joy in a kid deciding in mid-September exactly who they’re going to be, changing their mind four times, and then landing somewhere you never would have predicted. It’s always fun to plan fun halloween activities to make the season fun for your kids so here’s a list to get into the Halloween season!

Fall Food Experiences

You know this is my favorite section, so I’ll try to keep it short.

Fall cooking is the most forgiving cooking there is. Everything is a big pot of something. Everything gets better if you leave it alone longer. I have the perfect fall recipes already that can also help you check some of the activities off the list

• Abi’s Chicken Pot Pie
• Dirty Herbal Chai Latte
• Abi’s Borscht

(Check the “Freebies” page for more recipes)

It brings people together and here’s a list on how to do that!

Simple Creative Fall Activities

There’s something about this season that makes me want to make things with my hands, and I’ve stopped fighting it. 

Here’s the list BUT just remember, don’t overcomplicated it. It’s simple for a reason.

Cozy, Slow Fall Activities for a Slow Day at Home

Some of the best fall days involve doing almost nothing. Take a nap at two in the afternoon and feel zero guilt about it. Let the kids stay in pajamas until noon. Here’s a list to help you have a slow, chill fall day!

Fall Adventures and Day Trip Ideas

You don’t have to move across the world. But go a little further than is convenient. Take the trip you keep putting off until the kids are older, because they will be older and you will be too.

Here’s a list of fun adventures and experiences to get your fall on and to bring your family together.

Thanksgiving and November Activities

Thanksgiving and November are always kind of treated like a “hallway” from Halloween to Christmas. I love Thanksgiving but hate that it can be overlooked. It can be a quiet month so here’s a list to help make it fun and exciting and not just the “hallway.”

This fall is meant to be enjoyed take advantage of these lists!!! and let me know how you like it!

Xoxox,

Abi
