20 Things I Can’t Wait To Do This Autumn

I seriously can’t believe it’s already the first day of October — where has 2015 gone? I don’t ever remember a year flying by faster than this one!

But with the official arrival of Autumn last week (and the unofficial arrival of chilly fall weather… brrrr!), I can’t wait to start embracing my favorite season with a vengeance! So I’ve drawn up a wish list of all the things I can’t wait to do this Fall!

20 Things I Can’t Wait To Do This Autumn

1. Visit a pumpkin patch:

13. Carve pumpkins!

14. Go apple picking.

15. Attend a murder mystery dinner to get in the spooky spirit (the family and I are going next week!).

16. Go “forest bathing” in the fall foliage.

17. Decorate our home for Halloween (one of my favorite traditions — I go ALL out on our spooky decor… we even have a 6 foot wide spider web for our ceiling!).

18. Eat every pumpkin and apple cider dish I can!

19. Break my favorite Zara leather skirt out from storage.

20. Paint my nails orange:
