October is just a few weeks away and it is my favorite month.
And I don’t want this month to slip away before I have fully experienced all the joy the autumn season 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 surprising someone with a potted mum on their doorstep).
I hope you will print one off for your own Happy Home to check off together.
Some of the great ideas you’ll find on your FREE Printable Fall Checklist are…
- Make leaf rubbings
- Volunteer 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!
