Fall is my favorite season and I’m fully leaning into all the cozy vibes and crisp-air adventures. Think spiced lattes, pumpkin-everything, and the little rituals that make fall feel magical. From my go-to autumn reads and family-friendly activities,...

Family Fun & Traditions

This is the part of fall that feels the most magical—pumpkin patches, Halloween costumes, leaf piles, and crafts with the kids. These little traditions are the things my girls talk about all year long, and honestly, they’re what I look forward to mos...

There’s nothing like walking through crisp orchards with the kids, baskets in hand. Peck & Bushel is one of those spots where even the littlest hands can reach the apples, and everyone leaves sticky-fingered and happy.

Organic Apple Orchard — Peck & Bushel

This place feels like fall embodied: hayrides, pumpkin patches, warm cider, and sweet treats that make the drive worth it. It’s one of our “must-do” destinations for making memories.

The Elegant Farmer

Festive, bustling, full of treats—and perfect for wearing flannels. The festival energy + apple pies + kids running around = fall joy overload.

Apple Harvest Festival

Pairing the zoo + Halloween = a win. This kind of event is gold for kiddos. Who doesn't love the idea of trick or treating at the zoo? Bonus: lots of fun photo-ops.

Boo at the Zoo - Milwaukee County Zoo

Less planning, more giggles. I love how this craft takes like 10 minutes and turns the house into something spooky-cute. It’s messy, but in the best way.

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

My girls are constantly wanting to craft and do art, so I keep lots of projects and coloring sheets on hand. Halloween and cats are two of their favorite things, which makes these the perfect coloring pages!

Halloween Cat Coloring Pages

Another fav for crafting and creating during spooky season!

Halloween Paper Crown Coloring Craft

Entertainment & Escapes

Cooler nights mean more time curled up on the couch. For me, that’s usually a mix of comfort rewatches (hello, Gilmore Girls), new books that feel like fall, and family movie nights with popcorn. It’s also the season where I actually pull out puzzles...

There’s something so soothing about building a puzzle with pumpkin world scenes. It’s a couch-together kind of evening when the air outside is chilly.

Heirloom Pumpkins Puzzle

A sweet story to read before bed—kid-friendly, warm, with that rhyming lull that helps quiet the day. It’s one of my daughters' fall favs.

Pick a Pumpkin: A Rhyming Holiday Story

If you love cozy mysteries and were a Gilmore Girls fan- this is a read you'll love!

The Pumpkin Spice Café

We love games and this one is a hit for all ages! We have a blast playing with just the four of us or with our extended family on Thanksgiving. Always lots of laughter!

Thanksgiving 5 Second Game

So many fun games and activities to keep on hand for visitors of all ages during spooky season!

Cozy Home Vibes

As soon as the temps dip, I’m all about nesting mode. Candles, blankets, twinkle lights—anything to make the house feel warm and welcoming. Even just swapping in a fall mug or lighting a pumpkin chai candle can make a Tuesday night feel special. It’s...

Soft, big, enveloping. One of those things the kids (and you) fight over on movie nights. This is the very best blanket I own.

UGG Throw Blanket

Light this candle and suddenly your house smells like fall. The kind of scent that makes guests comment—and that you want lingering in your home.

Honeycrisp Apple Cider Candle

This takes cozy home vibes up a notch—smells like cupcakes in the oven, perfect for when you want the sweetness without doing all the baking.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes Candle

Crisp evenings and cold noses are so much better when your bed feels like a snuggly hug. Flannel sheets = nighttime comfort station.

Super Soft Flannel Sheets

How adorable is this mug? It's the one you reach for first when you want something seasonal. Warm drink in hand, favorite mug + sweater = simple joy.

Hello Fall Mug

Seasonal Eats

If you’re like me, fall flavors somehow sneak into every snack and meal. This is the season for pumpkin bread on repeat, caramel apples with the kids, vanilla chai, and the Trader Joe goodies that somehow end up in my cart. I like to think of it as t...

Warm, sugary, apple-y—maybe a little messy, but totally worth it. Perfect snack for orchard days or weekend mornings.

Apple Cider Donuts

Having this in the pantry feels like fall is always within reach. Plus, mixing & baking with kids = memories + delicious messes.

Pumpkin & Spice Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix

Spicy, comforting, cozy. The kind of drink that warms you from the inside on grey afternoons.

Chai Latte

Hearty, warming, protein-packed, and nice to have for leftovers. Bonus: makes the house smell amazing while it simmers.

Healthy Turkey Chili

Tangy, crisp, cold or warmed up—nothing says autumn to me quite like sipping real cider.

Fresh Apple Cider

For when you want that fall flavor with a grown-up twist. Great for chilly evenings watching the sunset (or the kids playing in the yard).

Lakefront Pumpkin Lager

Decadent, sticky, sweet—just the treat that turns an ordinary day into something special. Amy's are the best in our area and never last long at our house!

Amy's Gourmet Caramel Apples

Random Little Obsessions

You know those tiny things that don’t need to bring joy, but they totally do? That’s this section. From cute seasonal phone wallpapers to cozy socks, nail polish in moody colors, or the latest Trader Joe’s flowers on the kitchen counter—these are my ...

Fall nails = easy mood booster. These colors are such little happiness-bring-ers when your hands are busy, but you still want to feel polished.

Olive and June Fall Collection

A little flower magic on the counter. Mum arrangements bring color, life, and that autumnal warmth, even when outside is greyer. Another thing that hops in my cart at Trader Joe's.

Mum Fleurettes

Tiny touch that makes me smile every time I pick up my phone. Even just leaves, warm colors, pumpkins—it sets the mood.

Autumn Phone Wallpaper

Socks that feel like wearing clouds. My feet stay toasty, and I never want to take them off.

UGG Chenille Socks

We love to celebrate our girls' teachers all year, but fall is another good time to let them know how thankful we are for them!
