Jog

For those who love outdoor activities, fall is an ideal time. For instance, it is not too hot or too cold, making the weather perfect for a jog. Don’t like jogging? Then, consider biking, skateboarding, or rollerblading.

Gratitude Tree

Thanksgiving isn’t until November. But it’s never too early to get in a thankful spirit. For example, create a gratitude tree. Even better, have everyone in the family write down something they feel grateful for.

Halloween Parties

Halloween comes at the end of October, but you can start preparations early. Consider throwing a party, and you can plan all month long. This way, you will be sure to celebrate “spooky season” as you intended.

Caramel apples are among people’s favorite fall treats. But you don’t have to buy them, as you can make them at home. Make some for yourself or a lot and give them out to family and friends.
