Every year, I feel like Autumn slips by without me actually getting to do everything I want to do. Does anyone else have that feeling? I feel disappointed in myself for not doing all the things I want to do. I know you guys want to pack as much Fall fun in as possible before the season flips to Winter, so let’s get prepared early.
Here’s my list of ways to enjoy Autumn to the absolute fullest this year:
Go on Autumn picnics. Special thanks to tarmahartley for this suggestion. It’s genius. Here’s what she had to say: “I love Autumn picnics! It’s cool and there’s no bugs so its much more enjoyable! Plus the beautiful Fall colours make for a spectacular background!^)^ Walks are fun as well! ^_^”
Go on lots of walks. When I think back to my favorite Autumns (anyone else?), I find myself thinking about all the walks I took, either by myself or with friends. I always took tons of pictures and I always love looking back on them.
Early mornings with coffee & your favorite movie. Take it from a new mom: spend as many mornings enjoying your favorite things!
Get some cozy socks. This is tiny. Teeny tiny. But the thing I love most about Fall is the first day I can wear my comfy boot socks with my leggings. For real! I’ve already started searching for good, new boot socks this year.
Don’t stress about it. Here’s the thing: the more expectations you put on yourself to enjoy anything, the more you’ll find yourself disappointed. Autumn is awesome, but it’s still life. Things can still go wrong. That’s ok.
Throw a party. Fall parties need to be a thing, right?
Go for a hayride. I always say this is one of my favorite things to do, but the actual last time I went on a hayride, I was like 10. Do the thing you love about Fall, but find yourself never actually getting to.
Do an Autumn craft. Make some decorations for your room or house, or as gifts for a friend. Make your Halloween costume!
Bake something new. This year I’m going to try to make a candy corn cake for my son’s birthday. Wish me luck.
Go Fall camping. You know those aesthetic pictures of people camping in the Autumn, with their flannel shirts and cozy coffee cups and fires? Do it.
Relive your childhood faves. I’m taking my son on a tour of pumpkin farms this year AND we’ll be going to Halloweentown in Oregon. I also want to get some Indian corn because my mom always decorated with it when I was a kid.
Enjoy it your way! Don’t like any of these things? Cool. Celebrate Autumn your way! It doesn’t have to be like everyone else. Hate coffee and tea? Don’t bake? That’s fine. Want to ride a motorcycle through the Autumn leaves, go bungee jumping, or volunteer at a soup kitchen in the Fall? Do it, this season is for you too!
