Summer is officially over and fall is here to take its place. Fall is a wonderful time of the year where the leaves change and our whole landscape turns into a kaleidoscope of colours. Whether your favourite part or the season is to cuddle up under a warm blanket or head out for a woodland walk – today we have a fun fall bucket list you should try to do over the next couple of months. These activities will bring true fall spirit to your life and will also be super fun for everyone.
Roast and stuff a pumpkin
One of the fun ideas you can try this month is to roast a pumpkin in the oven and full it with healthy fillings such as chicken and veggies. This is such a fun and warming fall dish ideal for any party.
Ingredients:
- 1 large cooking pumpkin
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 200g black beans
- 100g sweet corn
- 1 chopped avocado
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp coriander
- Cut your pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Poke some holes into your pumpkin before laying on a baking sheet, drizzling with oil, and seasoning with salt, pepper, and fajita seasoning. Roast at 220C for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- In the meantime, mix your black beans, sweet corn, chicken, and cheese in a bowl.
- Once the pumpkin is tender, fluff up the interior before adding your veggie and chicken mix. Bake for another 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
- Top with fresh avocado, sour cream, and coriander.
Make a pumpkin spice latte

Wear some tartan
Fall is the ideal time for you to wear some stunning tartan pieces. Tartan is such a popular pattern during the fall and winter and this is the ideal way to vamp up your outfit and bring some real fall spirit to your wardrobe.
Visit stunning countryside
One of the things you should do during the fall is find the best countryside locations you can to visit. Stunning locations around the world such as Colorado in the USA is so popular at this time of the year due to the colours on display. You can get more information about travelling to other countries during the fall and enjoy some of the best out natural world has to offer.
Enjoy a rainy day movie marathon
There is nothing better in the fall than enjoying a cosy movie marathon on a rainy day. During the cooler months of the year it tends to rain more often, and this is the ideal time to get cosy in your own home and enjoy some of your favourite movies with your loved ones. Consider blacking out the windows, turning up the volume, and making some popcorn and nachos in the kitchen to eat while you cuddle up on the sofa with blankets.
Drink an early morning coffee alfresco
There is no better feeling on a cool fall day than to sit outside as the sun comes up with a hot cup of coffee. Make your favourite cup of Joe and sit out in the garden with a blanket as the morning begins. You’ll be able to enjoy some fresh brisk air, the hum of birdsong, and a sense of peace before the chaos of the day begins.
Paint a pumpkin
There isn’t a lot more festive during the fall than painting a couple of pumpkins to display around the house. Even before Halloween time it is great to be able to decorate some pumpkins and place them in different rooms of your home to bring that vibrant festivity to the home. You can use simple acrylic paints for your pumpkins and make an afternoon of it getting everyone in the house to paint one for your display. Enjoying a couple of cinnamon rolls while painting will make you feel like fall has truly arrived.
Make a leaf Garland
One thing that can make your home look extra festive this fall is a leafy Garland. Making your own leafy garland is easier than you think and all you need is some twine, a glue gun, and some festive fabric autumn leaves. You can find packs of leaves on Amazon for a reasonable price and all you need to do is measure your desired length out of twine and start gluing! A Garland can be the perfect way to dress up your mantelpiece as well as your stairs to bring some fun autumn vibes to the season.
Go for a woodland walk
One of the best ways for you to enjoy the fall in all of its glory is with a lovely woodland walk. Pack up your boots and raincoat and head out to a local woodland for the day. You’ll be able to see some beautiful colours surrounding you as well as enjoy the fresh cool breeze as you walk.
Decorate the house
Decorating your house for the seasons of the year is always a great way to bring some fun to your home. Consider today decorating your home with some string lights, candles, and bring out the pumpkin themed decorations to bring some life in the space.
