I really encourage you to do this, too! It’s really fun! It makes a person be more intentional. Also, this is fun stuff for me. It’s not really a dreaded chore list.
-Decorate for fall. In the last few years, most of my stuff is just pumpkin (white pumpkins!) so it isn’t Halloween specific. This lets me have it out from September through Christmas. I do have a couple of specific Thanksgiving things that I add right after Halloween. My decor is now more nature based, neutral, and minimal I would say.
As I decorate for fall, declutter the decor that no longer makes me happy.
-Celebrate fall birthdays – my twins’, my mom’s, besties Heather and Heather, and mine
-Buy Mrs. Meyer’s acorn spice and fall leaves cleaners – possibly a candle, too
-Buy a new apple and pumpkin candle
-Find and cook apple recipes in September
-Find and cook pumpkin recipes in October
-Enjoy my patio in what is possibly our best weather!
-Use Solo Stove
-Buy pumpkin Premier Protein for iced coffee
-Get a Starbuck’s PSL once
-Celebrate my birthday
-Get my Kendra Scott piece
-Attend Ocktoberfest(s) around town
-Attend the Punkin’ Chunkin’ (pumpkins catapulted into river)
-Do a fall boat ride(s) to leaf peep and just enjoy boat until time to winterize
-Buy good apple cider from local orchard
-Make my apple cider sangria
-Make soup!
-Make chili!
-Go to boutique pool before it closes for the season. I have some dates reserved. It has gotten really popular and you have to make reservations on Open Table. They told me it would be open at least through September but I am hoping it will also stay open in October.
-Make an Octoberfest meal at home
-Make fall margarita
-Celebrate Thanksgiving with both sides of family
I’m sure I forgot many things!
But, it’s definitely a good list to start with!

That does sound like a wonderful list! I’ve been slowly working on pulling mine together too.

Great list! Fall marg sounds delish. It does stay so warm here, it would be nice if pools stayed open longer. I hope to put out my fall decs this weekend.

I love your list! I think about these things and enjoy reading these posts, but I have never made a list. Maybe I will and it will help keep me intentional this fall. Yay fall!

These all sound like wonderful fall things to do…except I would skip the pumpkin spice coffee, but a warm cider would be good!

I love this list! I’ll do my own version of this soon; I’m waiting until a little closer to the solstice, though I’m already living my very best fall life. I pulled out my favorite thing to wear the other day to celebrate the cooler weather we’ve been having! One thing that I know will be on my list is to eat an apple cider donut when I go to Colorado in October!

I’m so glad you are enjoying the little things.
I’m loving my new sweatshirts!
Maybe get a Colorado one? I also ordered new candles from a local lady! So excited!

What a great list! It sounds like you have some fab plans.
I don’t really decorate for fall apart from bringing the cosy blankets out.
I always buy some new candles at this time of year too.

I really want to make a list, maybe this weekend. Finding time for blogging this month is a challenge. My birthday is next week, close to the start of fall, so a list feels appropriate. Sounds like you have some cozy plans for fall.
