Many of the items on this list are things we enjoy every Autumn season, but several are brand new.
Some are now traditions for our little family, and fall movies are always top of list for us.
If you love a good cozy watch, check out this blog post with the best cozy movies to watch this fall.
Don’t forget to add not so scary Halloween movies that are family-friendly list to your fall movie marathon plans.
Some of these things we’ve already checked off our list like cider donuts (from Trader Joe’s) and we went to Kenny’s first football game last night!
Another annual tradition for our family is taking a quick road trip to Amish country in Ohio. It’s the perfect place to fill up on delicious foods, buy your seasonal mums, pumpkins, gourds, etc.
A big one on my own personal list is to learn how to make a delicious apple pie from scratch.
Ohio is apple country with pick-your-own apples all over the place. Kenny and I will head to an orchard this week and attempt to make our first ever pie.
Last fall, I made this apple cider donut cake by Chenee Today and it was seriously unreal. Add this recipe to your to-do list ASAP.
I’ll not only make this again, but will also make some of our favorite hot apple cider, pumpkin bread, caramel apples, and popcorn balls… Just to name a few.
Another item on my fall bucket list is to update my home decor for the fall season.

In case you missed it, last year I shared my copycat Panera broccoli cheddar soup recipe.
Do NOT miss this recipe!
I’ll be making this soup along with so many of our other favorite recipes because it’s officially SOUP SEASON.
Don’t forget to enjoy a great fall themed book next to the fire with your cup of soup, cup of tea, coffee, or pumpkin spice latte.
If you haven’t already, join my Facebook book club here.
But most importantly, be sure to get outside.
With the cooler temperatures, it’s the perfect time to bundle up, take a family walk, and enjoy the fall foliage.
Take a trip to your local park and sit a spell to enjoy the season.
We love to take Jeep rides through Amish country in Ohio or the back country roads in Tennessee to enjoy all the colors of the changing leaves.
What a great list! So many wonderful ideas to do with my 8 year old! I’m so stinkin excited it’s finally Fall! 🍂🍁
