My Fall Bucket List 2025

Autumn is almost here, and with it comes one of my favorite traditions – making a Fall Bucket List! 🍂 This year I’ve kept it short and sweet with just 12 things, and I’m so excited to jot them down and (hopefully!) check them all off. Please feel free to share some of your bucket list items in the comments below!

I had so much fun putting these lists together in Canva this year. I made one for Pinterest, another to print and frame in my kitchen next to my calendar, and even a blank version for you! You can download it for free (by signing up for my bi-weekly email) and dream up your own little adventures for this leaf-changing season.

My Fall Bucket List 2025

This fall, I’m hoping for plenty of adventure but also a slower pace than summer. I packed those months full of waterfront walks, blueberry picking, picnics, and more froyo than I’d like to admit. This season, I’m leaning into cozying up, savoring quiet moments, and settling into a routine again: mornings at the gym, afternoons soap-making and blogging, and evenings with my hobbies.

So, I suppose we should dive into this list!

Go apple picking
Have on last picnic outside
Make apple butter
Try a Fall mocktail
Knit a sweater
Take a picture hike
Cozy up on the couch with a book
Watch When Harry Met Sally
Visit a pumpkin patch
DIY Autumn decor
Make pumpkin bread for family & friends
Make apple pie

I’m actually starting the season with apple picking this weekend, and I can’t wait. The farm I go to has the best apple cinnamon donuts, literal jugs of cider, and shelves of honey I like to stock up on for winter. I’ll also be grabbing mini pumpkins to scatter around my home. And if the weather cooperates, I’d love to squeeze in a crisp little morning picnic before the rain sets in. Complete with a thermos of coffee and maybe some apple crisp coffee cake.

I also have a pile of sewing and knitting projects yelling at me. My sewing machine has been gathering dust, and I’m hoping to spend more time with it this fall. Cozy weekends with yarn (from Flock Fest!), fabric, and tea sound oh-so-perfect to me.

And then there’s baking. SO much to bake! Pumpkin loaf, apple pie, homemade apple butter… my heart (and kitchen) will be so happy over the next few months. Not not to mention the savory soups and stews.

As you know, I gave up alcohol back in January and I’m still going strong. I’d love to learn how to make a few mocktails and have a signature one for the evenings. Maybe a warm spiced cider for chilly evenings or a cranberry fizz for Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much for reading my Fall Bucket List for 2025! If you’d like a checklist of your own, I’ll be sending it out in my upcoming bi-weekly newsletter – you can sign up here if you’d like to join in.

Wishing you the coziest Autumnal Equinox!
