As many of you know, I started fall a bit early. I decorated several weeks ago and have been enjoying cozy shows and pumpkin candles for a month now already and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s been lovely to get a jumpstart on my favorite season, especially when I just started back to school and will have less time to enjoy all my favorite fall things.

When drafting my Fall 2024 Bucket List, I looked back at last year’s list and smiled. It was Will’s first fall, and I had a bunch of cute things to enjoy with him on it. Like jumping in a leaf pile and cute baby outfits. This year’s list is a little more practical, for a couple reasons. One, because I have a lot less time than I did last year and have to make the most out of this list and two, because quite honestly, I got so much joy out of the little things, like putting up my fun Halloween lights last year, and I’m really excited to put them up again this year.

As always, if fall is your favorite, too, I highly recommend making a little bucket list for the season. This little piece of intentionality can help with enjoying the season, rather than getting swept up in the busyness of it all and missing your favorite things.

"Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near." James 5:7-8
