Simple Bucket List Things to Do & Fall Trips to Take
Create a simple bucket list for your fall adventures. Enjoy scenic drives through colorful autumn landscapes and foliage. Additionally, plan fall trips to locally or far away.
1. Make a simple fall dessert dip
I got this recipe by following Joan from this season’s Golden Bachelorette on social media. First, gather your ingredients: pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice. Then, mix all of the ingredients together and serve it as a delicious dessert dip and enjoy it with cookies, fruit, or smoothies!
2. Paint pumpkins
First, gather your friends for a fun painting session. Then, choose your favorite pumpkins in various sizes. Next, set up a space with paints and brushes.
After that, let everyone unleash their creative ideas freely. Now, take turns showing off your painted pumpkins. Finally, enjoy some snacks while admiring everyone’s artwork! You can even turn it into a girls night and decoupage the pumpkins!
3. Make a fall simmer pot
A fall simmer pot brings warmth to everyday life. To begin, add pumpkin pie spice for a cozy aroma. Then, toss in cinnamon sticks for a comforting scent.
Then, include orange slices for a refreshing citrus touch. After that, pour in vanilla extract for sweetness. Finally, experiment with other spices for personalized fall fragrances!
4. Cozy up with a book this fall
Fall is like tax season for accountants – it’s full of new releases from established and debut authors, offering captivating novels, memoirs, and nonfiction titles.
With so many great options, choosing can be overwhelming. That’s why I rounded up some of the best picks from Oprah’s list because, let’s face it, she is the OG of book clubs! Ultimately, they selected the best picks for autumn reading!
