Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! The first day of fall is Sunday! As much as I hate to say goodbye to the summer season, I do love fresh starts. Every year and every season, I like to share a bucket list of activities of things I want to do to celebrate the time period and this year is no different.
Today, Iām sharing my 2024 Fall Bucket List. These activities are a mix of traditional and new things I want to accomplish this year. Most of them are fairly inexpensive or free and can be done by yourself, with a significant other, with friends or family.
These bucket lists always give me inspiration for things to do when I am bored or have some spare time and want to take advantage of the season. I have some classic fall fun with a mix of new things I want to try over the next few months. I canāt wait to start crossing things off my bucket list.
Without further ado, here it is!

As we get ready to say hello to fall in a few days, what are some things you want to accomplish over the next few months? Let me know in the comments below!
Hello everyone! Itās the last day of November. I donāt know about you, but Iām already in the Christmas spirit. Iāve already started to decorate and I have my holiday bucket list ready to go, Iāll be sharing that next week.
Iāve really enjoyed November. Itās been a mix of a flurry of activities and slow days at home. With that being said, Iām looking forward to the next month of holiday fun! Let me give you a recap in this month’s currently.
What I’ve Been Up To: The month started with lots of time outdoors, from walks, to collecting leaves and time indoors with lots of baking. I enjoyed baking brie, peanut butter cookies, banana bread and soup. I canāt wait to start baking Christmas cookies. The month ended with celebrating Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas.
Hello fall walks!
This month was filled with lots of baking.
Thanksgiving with my Family.
What I’m Wearing: Nothing too exciting on the clothing front, itās been colder and we have seen snow, so I have been wearing more long sleeves and layers. I scored a great deal on some jeans at Old Navy. I have been hunting for a pair of straight jeans and found them at Old Navy. If you are looking for a variety of styles and cuts, consider looking at Old Navy.
Layers have been my go-to. Also a look at my new jeans from Old Navy.
What I’m Reading: Iāve been on a roll with good books. Iāve read some mysteries, some thrillers and a handful of love stories. Here are a few of my favorites.
The Last Mrs. Parrish– The Last Mrs. Parrish is a suspenseful book with a touch of mystery and intrigue. It follows the story of a young woman who wants to befriend a wealthy woman to get close to her husband. The first half of the book is told from one point of view until it switches to another character’s perspective, and you see the story through an entirely different lens. This book will make you angry at some of the characters, but you won’t want to put it down at the same time.
The Younger Wife– The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth follows the story of a heart surgeon who decides to remarry even though his wife is still alive and has dementia. His grown daughters aren’t on board at first, but come around to the idea, that is, until they uncover some secrets about their parents. From the father and mother, to the young bride to be, and the grown daughters, it turns out, everyone is keeping secrets.
One True Loves– This is another Taylor Jenkins Reid book. It follows the story of a young woman who loves her husband when his flight goes missing, it takes her a while, but she moves on and meets someone else, she’s happy and engaged until her husband is found and returns home. It’s up to her to figure out who her one true love is. This story is about love, loss, growth and finding yourself. I breezed through this book in four days. In fact, I finished the last hundred pages in one sitting. A cute, love story with a twist.
My goal is to just read Christmas books for the next month, Iāll let you know how it goes.
What I’m Watching: I finished watching season 5 of the Crown and LOVED It. I already canāt wait for the final season, but I don’t want it to end. I also have been watching Gilmore Girls in my free time, but I know Iāll be watching lots of Christmas movies soon.
What I’m Loving: Iāve been loving everything that gets me in the Christmas spirit. Stores are already decked out with holiday displays, Christmas music is playing, snow is falling, these are just a few things that have me excited for next month.
Fresh snow doesn’t hurt either.
Getting into the holiday spirit.
What Inspires Me: Iāve really been enjoying the quiet time before the busy season. Iāve read a lot of good books, Iāve enjoyed time with friends and lots of cooking and baking. Leaning into some of my hobbies has centered me when things get busy or hectic.
The beautiful sunset as I was running errands last week.
I’ve also been enjoying lots of baking…here’s some pre Pumpkin pie mixture.
What I Accomplished: Despite the cold weather, I still managed to get in some outdoors walks when I could. I know I will have to rely on my indoor activities like yoga or more time at the gym, since I wonāt be able to get out as much in colder temperatures.

Goals from Last Month: I really enjoyed slowing down and celebrating Thanksgiving with my family and some traditions. I also made my list of who I need to buy for Christmas, which makes me feel ahead of the game.
Enjoying some snacks with family.
Goals for this Month: I canāt wait to enjoy all things holiday and Christmas. My brothers will be home from college and I canāt wait to spend some family time with everyone. I also want to get a lot of my buying done early, so Iām not rushing around at the end when Christmas is here.
Hello holiday cheer!
Thatās a look into life recently. A mixture of work, hobbies, family time, traditions, and holiday cheer! I canāt wait to see what December brings.
Happy Friday! Last week has been filled with so much fall fun! Iām looking forward to more of it this weekend! Iām linking up with ErikaĀ andĀ AndreaĀ for todayās Friday FavoritesĀ to share five favorite things Iām loving this week.
Hocus Pocus 2– I finally watched the new Hocus Pocus movie and loved it. I always look forward to watching the first one every year and didnāt know what to expect with the new movie. There were so many Easter eggs tucked throughout the movie. The best thing about the movie was seeing all the original cast members. Definitely a fun, family movie to add to the holiday lineup.
Family movie night this spooky season!
Apple Nachos– Iāve been enjoying so many apple recipes over the past few weeks. From breads to muffins and pies. This past week, I made a fun snack that was certainly a crowd pleaser. I saw a recipe for apple nachos on Pinterest and had to try it. Itās super easy to make, simply slice an apple, or two or three, drizzle caramel sauce and then your favorite toppings. I added some nuts and m&mās. It was so easy to make and tasty too.
A delicious fall treat!
Cover Story– I finished another book that I couldnāt put down. Cover Story tells the story of a young college girl, named Lora who meets a young heiress, named Cat during a summer internship. The two become friends and Lora ends up becoming Catās ghost writer. However, Cat has some secrets that Lora looks to uncover. This has some of the Inventing Anna vibes if you watched the Netflix series last year. Between the plot twists and bombshell ending, I couldnāt put it down.Ā
Cuyahoga Valley National Park– Last week I went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park for a fall walk and picnic. I walked eight miles and saw so many beautiful sights and waterfalls. It was the perfect fall day and loved getting fresh air and lots of exercise. It was so fun to try a new place and enjoy the autumn season!
A gorgeous fall walk!
Gilmore Girls-As I type this post, Iām enjoying my newest favorite, Gilmore Girls. I just started it and have fallen in love with it. I love the relationship between mother and daughter, the sweet town and all the fall vibes. Itās been on my watch list for the longest time and Iām so glad I finally started it.
Thatās a look into some of the things Iāve been loving. Whatās something that brought you joy this week? Let me know below!
