Hi friends, happy October! October is one of my favorite months, so I thought it was fitting to kick it off with my fall bucket list. Our fall is off to a bit of a slow start with the Nor’easter keeping us homebound so I’m keeping my list short and sweet. I do miss being able to see all the Halloween decor around NYC easily, but I’m excited for our first fall in the suburbs. It won’t be long before we’re surrounded by all the beautiful fall colors. My house is decorated, tickets to the Great Jack O Lantern Blaze have been purchased, and cider mills have been scoped out. I’m ready for you October! (Pictures below are from 2025)
Fall Bucket List:
- Decorate the home and porch for Halloween
- Take Violet Trick or Treating
- Go apple picking
- See the Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze
- Carve a pumpkin
- Watch some Halloween movies (we love Hocus Pocus & Hubie Halloween)
- Take the train in to see some of the townhomes in NYC decked out for Halloween
- Photograph some fall foliage
- Spend the morning in Sleepy Hallow
- Stock up on the Trader Joe’s fall goodies (the pumpkin waffles & leaf shaped tortilla chips are my favs)
- Listen to some spooky tunes
- Enjoy some cider donuts
- Put together a spooky charcuterie board
- Bake Butternut Bakery’s Brown Butter & Maple Chewy Pumpkin Cookies
What are you looking forward to this October?
