As I’ve mentioned in previous posts + for those of you who have been following me on IG (@holbowman), you totally know that fall is my favourite season. And yes, I know it is only the beginning of September and I am perfectly happy with the weather staying warmer however, I am still a teensy bit/completely and utterly excited about fall.
Having a new little bestie in my life definitely makes me even more excited for holidays and all things festive (I totally bought a few mini Halloween tees for our little dude this past weekend) + being on maternity leave allows me to spend time doing as many fun and festive things as GBB will let me, ha. I’ve created a fall bucket list so that I can make the most out of my favourite season + start up some new family traditions!
Our fall bucket list (in no particular order);
-family walks in the park
-visit a pumpkin patch
-drink as many caramel apple spice drinks + pumpkin spice lattes as humanly possible
-make pumpkin muffins
-walk in the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon in the mommy + stroller lane
-watch Hocus Pocus (on repeat)
-watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
-brew homemade house fragrance (recipe here)
-bake pumpkin sugar cookies (with a cream cheese buttercream, drool)
-decorate the house with festive tassel garlands + pumpkins
-go buck at Bath & Body Works and hoard buy new fall candles (I’m obsessed with this scent)
