The official first day of fall – or autumn – is around September 21 or so. Once you’ve made it past the beginning of school chaos, it seems like you should get a reward though. Maybe that’s why the stores switch from school supplies to pumpkins and Halloween so quickly.
Whether you’re dreaming of cooler days or budgeting for a few pumpkin spice lattes, there is plenty to enjoy about fall. My fall family bucket list below includes 15 fun ways to celebrate the season.
The holiday season gets busy quickly, so schedule a few lazy days before your calendar fills up. Fall is for slowing down, for savoring the days as they get shorter.
Bucket lists are less about checking a bunch of items off and more about enjoying the parts of the season that might otherwise slip by. They’re about being intentional with your days because, as you know, they go by all too quickly.
Your list might be short or long. Maybe you have a few traditions that I didn’t mention. My favorites on my list are fall festivals and making pumpkin muffins. We don’t take a family photo nearly as often as I’d like. Maybe this year I’ll put that at the top of my list.
