Thought it’d be fun to share my small Fall bucket list with you all today. If you know me, you know that I think bucket lists tend to add an unnecessary amount of pressure to us. However, I also concede it’s good to have a list to give an idea of things you want to accomplish. 
And I know Fall is a favorite for many. Instead of making a huge overbearing list of all the things, I’m staying true to my word of the year: Less.
Here’s my small fall bucket list though I couldn’t help but divide it into categories.
Fall Food I Want To Eat and Drink
It’s always about the food isn’t it?
- Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies (or chocolate chip, probably do half)-not sure if I’ve ever shared this recipe? Definitely need to either update it and share again or share for the first time.
- Apple cake. And of course, drink apple cider. All the apple things! Listen up pumpkin spice, September belongs to all things apple. I unofficially decree it. (That said, I wasn’t a huge fan of the apple crisp macchiato at Starbucks. I had it iced, maybe hot is better.)
- Carnival festival foods like funnel cakes and kettle corn (did this over Labor Day weekend)
- Fresh pumpkin muffins and/or donuts. And yes, drink a ubiquitous pumpkin spice latte.
Places To Go
While fall is kind of for staying home, lighting candles, and watching it rain, it’s also for getting out and enjoying the gorgeous not too hot days and nights.
- All my son’s marching band half-time performances and band competitions (that’s a given)
- Spend each Saturday morning (when band/weather doesn’t interfere) exploring all the local farmer’s market. We have a big KC “City Market” just north of the downtown area but so many suburbs around us (including our city, where we went last Saturday) have their own. I’d like to see what we find.
- On at least 3 nature hikes. I was good about this last year (not much else to do) but fell out of habit this summer.
- Apple orchard to get fresh apple cider (see #2 above) and/or apple picking.
Other Random Things
Just a few things that I want to do but aren’t exactly food or going places related.
- Sit on the front porch and read (Fall reading list coming soon!)
- Maintain a fall garden (in progress)
Did you make a small fall bucket list or perhaps a large one? What’s on your list?
