5 Activities to Get Ready for Autumn

Autumn is right around the corner! So, to get yourself in the mood for fall, I’ve decided to list out five budget-friendly activities you can do around the house!

Fall Decorations

Without a doubt, my favorite season to decorate my house for is autumn.  Decorating with leaves, pumpkins, and pampas grass brings me so much joy.  There are several local options for buying fall decorations, but I also love shopping on Etsy for things like this!  Either way, decorating for fall is one of the best activities for the season!

Homemade Treats

One of the best things about autumn is the dessert!  While I was growing up, my favorite fall activities always revolved around sweets like caramel apples, and that hasn’t changed!  We recently published a blog that shows some of the best fall desserts you can make!  Check it out!

Watch a Fall Movie

If you’ve been following our blog for a long time, you’ll know I’m a huge fan of movies.  Nothing gets me more into the fall spirit than watching a great film with an autumn vibe!  Some of my favorites are E.T., Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and Fantastic Mr. Fox.  Without fail, these movies always get me into an autumn mood!

Stovetop S’mores

One of my favorite activities is sitting next to a campfire roasting s’mores.  But, many people don’t have firepits or aren’t able to go camping very often.  A great alternative to these to still be able to roast marshmallows for smores is roasting them over a stovetop!  Or, if you’d like something a little more streamlined, I love this microwave-safe s’mores maker.

Take Up A Hobby

There are lots of at-home hobbies you can do that are a lot of fun and help get you ready for autumn!  One that comes to mind is knitting.  Many people have never tried knitting before, but it’s a lot of fun!  Along with having a great time, you also get the joy of a hand-made blanket, scarf, or sweater!  You can find some simple knitting tutorials on YouTube.

I hope this list has given you some fun activities you and your family can participate in this autumn!  Make sure to leave us a comment to let us know what your favorite autumn activities are!
