It’s fall, y’all! Cue the cozy sweaters, the pumpkin spice, the spooky season, and all the fall vibes we know and love. Fall is my favorite time of year. The weather is perfect for a little indoor cat like me. Also, my birthday is in November and my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving! But the thing I love the most is doing all the fantastic fall activities.
Whenever fall comes around I find myself writing down a bucket list of all the fall activities I want to do. A few years ago I shared my original fall bucket list but this year I added more to it!
Check out my original fall bucket list: Fall Bucket List!

Fun Fact: The first day of Fall is September 22nd. Why does that seem so late? I always tell people I have three fall babies, but I just found out that I only have one fall baby. Teddy and Vivian’s birthdays are in the middle of September so they are technically summer babies. Mind blown!
I haven’t made a bucket list in a bit and since fall is my favorite season I’m ready to create a new one! Here are all the awesome things I hope to do in fall 2022. I thought I would divide them into two categories: food activities and non-food activities. So skip this next heading if you don’t want to read the food activities I want to do this fall! I added some commentary on some of the activities that you might enjoy.

I love, love, love everything about fall! And your bucket list covers pretty much all of my favorite activities for the season. Bring on sweater weather!
Love your fall bucket list ideas! Making soup is a favorite, as well as reading a cozy book. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! The only soup I’ve made before is chicken noodle but I’m going to try to make potato soup. Wish me luck!
I love fall! I would definitely visit the zoo. They usually have a BOO night and it’s so cool to walk around the zoo at night,
That sounds awesome! I’ll have to check our local zoo to see if they have a Boo night. My kids would love that!
