17 Festive Fall Activities
The early morning crisp air that flows through the cracked bedroom window lights a spark in my soul to acknowledge that fall has officially arrived. The leaves are changing and life begins to slow. The hustle and bustle of summer events and activities are turning into a cozy descent of tranquility.
The sun rises later and sets earlier. There’s more time to rest and recover. There’s slower mornings with warm coffee and days of letting soups simmer, filling our homes with nostalgic aromas. Nature shows us what it’s like to let go and ease through this season of change before we embrace our holiday traditions.
Before the crisp morning air turns to chilled days with floating flurries, here are some fall season bucket list items that I’m hoping to get to!

I always try to make an effort to experience nature’s changes- in all seasons; a reminder to myself that I too can relax and reset; not just in the fall but at any time throughout the year.
That’s what this section of the blog is all about. Get out and experience the magic that’s all around us, ALL THE TIME. Visit your local seasonal businesses or events. Gather with your village. And make sure you spend some time in your own solitude too.
