October is my favorite month.
South Florida living is not very conducive to enjoying a genuine autumn experience, so I have to be super intentional about creating fall in our Happy Home.
A few year’s ago I made a little checklist to help keep our family on track.
You’ll find all of your favorite fall activities on this list (I think mine would have to be going to the pumpkin patch – hopefully this year’s trek will prove to be more successful than last year’s).
I hope you will print one off for your own Happy Home to check off together.
Some of the great ideas you’ll find on your FREE Printable Fall Checklist are…
- Make leaf rubbings
- Volunteer together
- Make popcorn
- Bake a fresh apple pie
