I was looking over my planner for events coming up and things I needed to do last week when the idea struck me to make a fall bucket list. It is no secret I love making lists and staying organized. But this is my first time to make one out of joy and things I am looking forward to. These are all things I would like to check off by December. Let’s dive right in!

• Visit the Dallas Arboretum
  • This has become an annual tradition with Chase and I for my birthday every year. If you’ve never been it’s definitely an experience – I have never seen so many pumpkins in one place in my whole life!
• Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas
  • Waco will always have a special place in my heart from visiting Chase so many times while he was a student at Baylor University. Magnolia truly is a blast for a girls’ weekend as well as other shopping and food favorites. I always recommend Spice Village for shopping and Milo All Day restaurant for any ladies asking where to go!
• Harry Potter Movie Marathon
  • I have to admit my obsession has been re-surfacing lately. I am eager to re-watch the series this year and possibly re-reading some of the books (not sure where all of this free-time is going to come from?). Also, I have been loving Harry Potter inspired videos like these to listen to while doing homework or cleaning. As well as watching other spooky movies! I recently discovered Chase has never seen Halloween-town *insert audible gasp. So that one is on our list as well!
• Order a Starbucks fall drink        
  • Yup, I’m going to outright be a basic fall chick here and add it to the list. I’ve been told I have to try the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew?
• Study at a coffee shop / go on a coffee shop date
  • I love a good coffee shop with the right vibe. What is it about studying at a coffee shop that makes you feel so much more productive and hip than you really are?
• Go to a Pumpkin Patch
  • It doesn’t get more fall than this! Hayrides, corn mazes, and warm apple cider vinegar drinks are all oh so much fun!
• Have a picnic at the park
  • Chase and I have talked about doing this for years and maybe we will actually get around to it this year. It would be so cute to pack a bag and take the pups!
• Go on more walks
  • There are lots of scenic parks and neighborhoods that are a short drive from us but I’m looking forward to being outside more in general. Even if it’s just around the block!
• Cozy up with a good read
  • I recently shared that I got back into reading last summer and am excited to keep it up! Especially with some warm tea and a lit candle on my nightstand.

What is something you’re looking forward to most this fall?
