What can you do at home on a fall day?
The autumn season has finally begun which means leaves are falling, the chilly weather is starting, and pumpkin decors are in. Fall is actually one of the seasons where you just want to cozy up in your home and bond with the family since the weather is getting a bit cooler. And if you need ideas on some activities to do in your home this fall, then here are some suggestions:
- Movie night. Get a blanket, build an indoor tent, and invite the whole family for a movie night! You can also plan out your meals for the night. It can be you cooking some warm homemade dinner, or ordering pizza and grabbing popcorn and other treats!
- Backyard barbecue. If you need to warm up a bit while spending time with your family members, then doing a backyard barbecue party might just do the trick. You can feel the chilly breeze and keep yourself warm with a bonfire. And what’s more is that you’ll be eating some delicious grilled goodies!
- Leaf gathering. The leaves during fall are one of the most beautiful among the seasons which is why these leaves are used for crafts and decor! You could simply go to your backyard and rake or pick up some leaves with your kids. After that, you can go back inside and do some crafts with it!
- DIY crafts. The fall season is one of the best times to do a series of craft projects since you will have a lot of resources just by going to your backyard! Furthermore, it is also a perfect time for your kids to do and learn some crafts especially that they are back in school. You can do simple drawings and paintings or making a collage with some fallen leaves and branches. You can also make some fall-themed decor (like wreaths, wall hangings, etc.) and ornaments for your home while you’re at it!
How to arrange a fall party
Aside from just staying indoors and having a movie night, Fall is also an excellent time to host a party! Whether it be a casual get-together in your backyard or a big party, here are some tips and ideas on how you can prepare your Fall party.
- Decor your venue. To get into that fall atmosphere, you should decor your home with some fall-themed ornaments such as fall-themed leaves, pumpkins, lantern decorations and more! It is also a good idea to prepare a casual and relaxed seating arrangement so that your guests will cozy up while talking to each other really quickly.
- Prepare a set of activities. One important factor you must consider is to have a set of activities prepared so your guests won’t become bored! Of course, staying on theme with the season is your best move. You can do a pumpkin carving contest, bonfire story-telling, and more!
- Menu. A fall menu should be full of seasonal ingredients that create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You can include roasted meals, casserole, salads, hot tea, cookies, and more!

Idea 7. An Apple & Caramel Bar
If you are not happy with the idea of caramel apples because of the uncomfortable eating and waste (few people manage to finish them up), it is very easy to change your point of view. Use slices instead of whole apples and serve multiple topping options to the surprise and delight of guests from bright and mouth-watering treats.
