Each season brings it’s own cravings and fun activities. It also brings many opportunities to do some soul searching, encourage each other and reach out to others! You’ll love these ideas to use either in your own family or gift them to others. We’ve gathered a great list of activities, crafts, recipes, printables, decor and more for you to create a fall to remember!
Soul Food
Let’s start by feeding our soul with a little of God’s fall flavor. McKenzie’s way of digging into Scripture through Bible Journaling is inspiring and definitely brings a new perspective to God’s word.
Sharing God’s love with others is a wonderful way to kick off the fall! Go on a Scavenger Hunt with friends, family or church group. Head out to your neighborhood or one that could use some tender loving care and love on the people there by doing different mini-service projects.
As we look forward to the changes of fall and all the things that we can create, we can pray for the Lord to create a pure heart in us as well!
Food
Kick the Morning off Right!
The first thing you reach for in the morning is coffee, right? Well, that’s my husband. I prefer hot chocolate or a protein drink. But as soon as I saw this deliciously, healthy version of a pumpkin spice coffee creamer I thought of him.
These gluten-free apple cinnamon protein pancakes are so good you won’t even need to drown them in syrup!
These Apple Harvest Muffins are perfect for mornings on the go.
Fall Inspired Desserts
Ever since I was a child, desserts were what I enjoyed creating in the kitchen the most. As an adult, I still enjoy them but so enjoy finding recipes like this healthier apple crisp that chooses to not use refined white sugar, but instead adds an wonderful fall flavor by using maple syrup.
These frosted maple cookies have me licking my lips. I can’t believe I’ve never had these before. Have you?
It truly wouldn’t be fall unless homemade pumpkin pie is included!
Fashion & Home Decor
I’m not one that enjoys shopping for clothes. I do, however, enjoy shopping with friends who enjoy shopping and finding cute things for me to wear. Now that I’ve moved into a warmer climate, I found this post about dressing for fall in a warmer climate to be helpful.

It would not be truly fall without crafts! Craft fairs and festivals are some of my favorite places to visit in the fall. I love seeing all the creativity and finding pieces that are draw in the season!

Visiting an apple orchard and picking your own apples!

Winding Down
There is something about fall that makes me want to gather with friends around my favorite drinks. Of course, Hot Chocolate will always be my favorite but since this is a fall round up post, I’ll share some others that are tempting me as well.
My Mother’s Quick and Delicious Apple Cider is one people always as about when they come over. It also makes a perfect gift for your neighbors!
One of my favorite fall treats is a caramel covered apple and this Caramel Apple Cider recipe seems to be the drinkable version of that treat!

Kristi, these are such great ideas! I love fall too and one of my favorite activities is going for walks where the leaves are changing and also raking leaves and jumping in them with my grandson! Thanks for all these super ideas. – Amy

Omgosh, those maple frosted cookies sound amazing! I love maple frosted everything (maple-frosted doughnuts are my weakness).
I love Fall and this post makes me all the more excited! Fall is also incredibly busy for my family but these are fun things to add in and slow down! Thank you.
What a fun list of autumn activities! I love the look of the blue pages of Bible journaling you have at the top of this post. Beautiful!
I love some good fall food!
You make me wish I lived in an area that has more seasonal change. Houston just cools off a bit.
What a great list! I need to do these things!
I really like this list! I live in San Diego, which sadly doesn’t get “normal” fall weather and activities. I’m working hard to share the experience I had in the MidWest with my kids. It’s such an awesome time of the year!
Wow! what a wonderful list! these all look so great and fall is one of my favorite seasons! I cannot wait to try the cinnamon apple protein pancakes!
