I can’t believe that it is already October 20th!
October is my favorite month… I just adore the autumn season.
I don’t want this month to slip away before I have fully experienced all the joy the fall has to offer -
So I created a little checklist to help keep your Happy Home on track!
You’ll find all of your favorite fall activities on this list (mine is having a pumpkin carving contest – we are off to carve ours with a bunch of friends tonight!).
I hope you will print one off for your own Happy Home to check off together!

Hi…I LOVE the idea of this list – thanks! One thing that is not on it that we just did with a bunch of families this weekend is a caramel apple dipping party – with homemade caramel sauce and apples and toppings to dip them in. The kids had a blast and afterwards were able to run around outside playing flashlight tag…it was GREAT!
I did it last year and I’m doing it again this year! I love this checklist! I just linked it to my blog. It’s a small blog, but atleast my close friends will get to have fun reading your blog like I do!
