Fall has knocked on your door, made its grand entrance, and announced that it’s here to stay. It’s that time of post-summer sadness and pre-Christmas countdown that always seems to escape us way too quickly. To ensure that we take full advantage of the pumpkin spice overhaul and apple picking photo ops, I’ve compiled a list of my top activities I hope to do this fall season!
