I am so glad fall is officially here! I am technically a summer baby, but since my birthday falls in September, I’m closer to a fall baby than a summer baby. And hands down, fall is my favorite season.
When I think about fall, I think about football games, cooler weather, and everything just starting to chill a little bit. Now, I’m in Texas, so sweater weather doesn’t really arrive until October or November-ish, but I’m patiently waiting to bring out my sweaters.
In the meantime, I’ve been thinking about all the things I want to do this fall. For some people, fall is the time to really lock in and work on those last-minute goals before the end of the year. For others, it’s a time to slow down, enjoy the season, and have a little fun.
I want to do a combination of both.
So, I’ve put together a list of experiences I would like to have this fall. I especially want to focus on spending time with my family, making memories, and simply enjoying this season for what it is.
Here are 15 cozy things on my fall bucket list this year.
1. Go to a State Fair or Carnival
- Enjoy a ride.
- Eat carnival food.

- Buy a pumpkin.
- Enjoy a photo op with my family.
