September Bucket List: Fall Is HERE!

September is finally here, and it’s one of our favorite months! The air outside is just beginning to cool down, we’re transition out of the hot end-of-summer days and into cozy, cool fall vibes. The change in seasons is welcomed and needed!

Every year, there are so many things that we say we want to do but never get around to. This year is different, though! Today, we’re sharing our September Bucket List with you guys in hopes that we will all get outside and do the things we’ve had on our lists for years. What are some of your favorite things to do in September? What will you add to your bucket list? Let us know in the comments below!

September Bucket List: Here are our favorite things to do in September!

1. Go apple picking

Apple season is here! And this year, we’re making the most of it. Find an apple picking orchard in your area and head out for a fun adventure!

2. Go hiking

Now that the weather is cooling down, it’s time to get outside. Hiking is a great way to get a workout and experience fall weather! Invite some friends to go with you, bring the kiddos, and go for a fun hiking day!

3. Swap out your summer clothes for fall and winter

It’s time to clean out your closet! Put your summer clothes away and bring out all of the fall and winter items. This is also a great time to declutter and donate items!

Along the lines of decluttering, now is a great time to deep clean your home. Similar to spring cleaning, fall cleaning is important!
