This year I’ve really enjoyed keeping track of my goals. I’m still working through my main goals for 2016, but it’s also fun to come up with a list of seasonally appropriate to-do’s that I can check off as they are accomplished. I know that Fall doesn’t start until the end of September, but planning requires that you do things ahead of time. Also I’m just excited that it’s the “ber” months! 🙂
In an effort to convince myself to enjoy Summer, I posted my Summer bucket list at the end of Spring. Fall is my favorite season – so while it won’t be hard to enjoy, I still want to plan ahead for the things I want to accomplish before December. Let’s get right into it!
Participate in an Instagram style challenge – I haven’t done one of these in a couple years, and it will be fun to challenge myself to put together cute outfits that I want to share! (I did an Instagram challenge…just not a style one!)Make baked goods to take to work (or to send with Paul) at least once a monthpumpkin chocolate chip breadGet gift ideas from family and begin Christmas shoppingPlan and host Thanksgiving – we are celebrating with my inlaws, and are hoping to host a few other people who don’t have family in the area or who just need somewhere to spend ThanksgivingRecap hereGet pictures taken for our Christmas cardSpend a weekend with my family in TennesseeI snuck a day trip in there
What are you looking forward to accomplishing this fall?
Are we connected on Pinterest?

Most of my big goals for our family were summertime goals. I really need to come up with some fall inspiration of my own. I haven’t even begun thinking about Thanksgiving yet!

I’m a little excited the months are now “ber”s, as well. In our family, there are 3 birthdays (Hun, Me, and Turtle Boy) all within about 2 weeks of one another! Even though I love the sun of spring and summer, I enjoy the changing colors of the leaves, less humidity, and baking! I do hope to get some dessert baking done this fall, but we’ll see… 🙂

Just in our family, we have 3 birthdays (Hun, myself, and Turtle Boy)! In Hun’s family, not counting myself, there are like 4 other birthdays. Plus, of course, you have holidays and upcoming fun times with family 🙂

The “ber” months are super busy around here, as my family has a TON of fall birthdays! Looking forward to burning some yummy fall candles and lots of baking. I love taking a trip to a pumpkin patch or orchard, but not sure it’s happening this year. Going to dig out the fall decor very soon, and another trip to Goodwill is in the works to tidy up before winter gets here.
I got to experience my first University of Nebraska Huskers football game over Labor Day weekend, and that was a longtime fall-ish bucket list item for me. I’m not a HUGE sports fan, but my mom went to the university, and the Huskers are big around here. It was a fun time, in spite of the pregame/first quarter rain. Being a part of that 90,000 fan crowd was something else!

I’m planning the Pinterest party at church, I’d like to take the boys to one of the local high school football games, Thanksgiving at the in-laws (with some coming in from Boston) & eat as many pumpkin-y things as possible.
And I hope I get to see you when you visit your parents, too! 🙂

I hadn’t heard the phrase, “The ber months” – how cute! Brrr! I found a list of autumn activities on Pinterest that I love and am posting on my bulletin board. I like to use those lists to help me “pour out my bucket”. I like to use those lists of things to pour into my marriage, home and others. Fall is a great time to entertain!

I too am beginning to think of Christmas and getting started with my shopping! I like your idea of taking treats to your work friends. When our children were in school, I took treats to the teachers lounge once a month. It was a small Christian school and I wanted to show how much I appreciated their sacrifice. And do go see your grandparents. As a grandparent, I hope my grands will always want to go see Nana.
