15 Fall Date Ideas

Since I seemed to have thrown quite a few readers off with my Fall Date Night (outfit!) Ideas post I thought I'd start working on an actual fall date ideas post.  I just knew it was the perfect post to kick off our Happy Fall Party!  I hope you'll join us in linking up all your wonderful fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving posts.


Here are just a few ideas to get you started on planning the perfect fall date:

1.  Visiting an apple orchard together-- whether you're picking apples, going on a hay ride, tasting some freshly made treats or just walking around the orchard holding hands it can make a great date night!

2.  Work your way through a corn maze together.

3.  Cuddle up under a blanket and watch a scary movie.

4.  Go on a hike; fall is the perfect time to hike.



5.  Take a drive to see all the fall foliage.

6.  Build a fire and roast s'mores.

7.  Try making a new recipe together.

8.  Head to a pumpkin patch, pick out the perfect pumpkin, and work together (or with a little bit of competition) to carve it.



9.  Tour a haunted house (or field!)-- I am notoriously easy to scare but something about hanging onto my hubby makes this sound appealing.

10. Pile a bunch of blankets in the bed of the truck or on the lawn and enjoy an evening of stargazing.

11.  Though the water can be quite cool this time of year it's still a great time to go kayaking!

12.   Attend a fair or festival together; this time of year there are so many harvest festivals, renaissance fairs, hot air balloon festivals, and agricultural fairs going on that it's the perfect time to try something new.



13.  Take in a football game together even if it's just at the local high school.

14.  Head to the beach and watch the sunset.

15. Tour your local cider mill, brewery or winery and see what seasonal treats they have available.


What is your favorite fall/ date activity?

    I love all of these ideas! Adding to your list - There is only one drive in movie theater left in our area. We feel like teenagers when we pack our snacks and go to the drive in! ;-) I'm not sure every town has one, but if one is nearby, that's a fun date night -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

      That would be so fun! We don't have a drive- in near us but we can still see the lot/screen that used to be; it's all overgrown and nature is slowly taking it back over. We've tried explaining to our boys how they worked but I wish we could show them!

    These are such great ideas. Love that so many of them don't involve a cost! My husband always loves to go watch high school football and since I'm a teacher we get in for free!

    Lots of fun activities for fall/autumn. I love going for walks with my camera and getting some nice autumnal shots of the changing colours. Also love a good scary movie too!

    Thanks so much for joining in with #MMBC. :)

      That is way to early for snow! I am really dreading the cold, wet days of winter.

    Love this post, especially how simple and yet pleasant all of your ideas are. Cool weather, I mean it already snowed, has arrived here but many of these activities we are still able to experience. I am thinking the haunted house would be actually something my oldest would enjoy doing with us too, so that might be a family adventure. And the cidery idea is brilliant. I am definitely adding that to my list for October.

    These ideas sound wonderful! I love the idea of building a fire and making s'mores. I also would love to go to a pumpkin patch or corn maze. It doesn't feel like fall here yet though. We could definitely find a fun fair to attend. Great ideas!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
