End of Autumn Recap

Technically, Autumn isn't over until the end of next week.  But with the first snowfall this past weekend and Christmas quickly approaching - I am in full Winter mode already.  Which makes this seem like the perfect time to recap my list of fall activities!  I've highlighted all the ones I completed in red, and in most cases added a little commentary...

  1. Make pumpkin muffins
  2. Read outside
  3. Go for a hike  - I certainly did! More than one!  And you can read all about it HERE  and HERE and HERE
  4. Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte  - or two... or three... or...
  5. Make a big pot of chili
  6. Watch a football game  - only pretty much every Sunday!  And a few Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays also.  We're a football loving family.
  7. Paint your nails a fall color
  8. Decorate the front door for fall
  9. Eat candy corn - much more than I should have.  ๐Ÿ™„
  10. Burn cinnamon apple and/or pumpkin spice candles and/or wax melts 
  11. Go for a scenic drive to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage
  12. Take pictures of the fall colors - In all honesty, the fall color was  a little below average this year. I think the warm weather affected the trees and then every time leaves would start to change we would have a windy storm system come through and blow them all off the trees.  I did manage to sneak in a few colorful shots. 
  13. Watch a scary movie - The Man of the House took me to see "It".  Talk about one creepy clown!  Yikes!
  14. Wear a comfy sweater and the perfect pair of boots - It was so WARM this fall, I was wearing summer and transition outfits until December.
  15. Decorate the mantle with autumn touches - 
  16. Drink warm spiced apple cider
  17. Walk through crunchy fallen leaves - Took care of this one during one of my many hikes! ๐Ÿ˜
  18. Made a delicious soup in the crockpot
  19. Snuggle under a blanket with a cup of tea and read a book on a chilly afternoon
  20. Celebrate my birthday in style
What are some of the fall activities you enjoyed this season?

Y'all are probably getting sick and tired of hearing me ramble on about autumn.  I know...

How I Spent The Autumn Days

If you recall, way back on the first day of Autumn I created a fall to-do list of things I wanted to accomplish before Winter rolled around.  And you may just be wondering how I did on completing that list.  (probably not... but let's pretend, ok? Ok.)  Well, for the curious - here's a little update on the last day of Autumn. 


  1. Go on a hike (or two, or three... or five)
  2. Go on a hike by myself
  3. Make pumpkin muffins (lots of them!)
  4. Visit a corn maze
  5. Learn to make risotto
  6. Start (and finish) some homemade Christmas presents
  7. Make pumpkin pancakes from scratch
  8. Decorate the porch for autumn  
  9. Get a new family portrait 
  10. Try out some of the cute fall outfit ideas I have on my Pinterest board
  11. Give some old sweaters new life
  12. Do some sewing projects
  13. Schedule some date nights with the Man of the House
  14. Crochet a beautiful new scarf - for myself!
  15. Remodel the hall bathroom 
My first ever attempt at making risotto!
Not too bad, all things considered. A few things which I never got around to, but for the most part I feel as if it were a successful fall season. 

Now - on to Winter!
