Cozy, Cool & Fun — Easy Ideas for a Perfect Fall Season


With autumn in full swing and that crisp, colorful fall energy all around us, I figured that it was time to update my article titled "31 Fun Fall Activities to Enjoy With Family & Friends". Whether you're looking to embrace the outdoors (hello, apple-picking, scenic drives, and leaf-collecting) or cozy up indoors (think baking fall treats, hosting a themed dinner, or settling in for a fireplace-movie night), this list has something for all kinds of autumn lovers.

If you've been wondering how to make the most of these cooler days and beautiful foliage, this article does a great job of sparking ideas, from hayrides and football games to DIY home decor and nature walks. I hope you'll browse through it, pick one or two activities that speak to you (or your crew), and use the season as an invitation to pause, enjoy, and savour some simple moments. Let's make this fall one to remember.

I also created some stickers for My Money Chronicles.

You can put them on anything from notebooks to laptops. I'm giving some away for free. If you want one, respond to this email.​
