I'm a big fan of lists: To Do lists, grocery lists, laundry lists...you get the idea. So it's no surprise that I made a Fall list of things to do and experience to savor the season. Here's a recap of my Fall checklist.
Visit a Pumpkin Patch. For the Lehigh Valley locals reading this, we went to Grim's Greenhouse to pick our own pumpkins and gourds, gather delicious Honeycrisp apples, and snack on mouthwatering apple cider slushies and warm apple fries with caramel dipping sauce. Yum!
Enjoy a getaway in the mountains. This mini-vacay was made even better because it was spent with a group of my favorite beaders making beautiful beaded jewelry. There is nothing better then spending an entire weekend sitting around the kitchen table in your PJs and beading away with delicious food, kind friends and relaxing scenery.
Host a Halloween costume party. My brother and I pulled this one off together. It was a fun and frightful night spent with family and friends all decked out in some really creative and clever costumes. From Snow White and ballerinas to bubble baths, loofahs and Mr. Clean.
Try a spiked cider recipe. I love apple cider; I love apples; I love sangria. So when I stumbled upon this Apple Cider Sangria on Pinterest, I knew it was the winning recipe. I made it for our Halloween costume party and despite the fact that I accidentally quadrupled the amount of ginger flavored brandy--I know--It was still pretty amazing.

Hold a pumpkin beer taste testing. One of the things I love most about Fall is that it is totally acceptable to have pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING! With the plethora of pumpkin beers available this year, I had to try them all and determine a winner. From Shocktop Pumpkin Wheat to Pumpkin Harvest Ale to Tommy Knocker Small Patach and Pumpkin UFO Brew, Traveler's Jack-O Pumpkin Beer won. Apparently most people agreed with me because it was already sold out everywhere by the first week of October.
What fun activities did you enjoy this Fall?
Let it Bead,
