23 Fall Activities

Fall is my favorite time of the year watching the leaves change color and the cool, crisp air. This is a great time of the year to play outdoors and enjoy the weather. Fall decorations are fun to put up and decorate the inside and outside of your house with the kids by making a scarecrow of a fall wreath. After you play outside, you can come in and warm up with a hot chocolate or warm cider.

This is the time of the year that I start to do my freezer cooking by making up meals ahead of time labeling them in Ziploc bags and labeling them. I will make a big batch of homemade chicken noodle soup and chili and eat some that night and freeze for the winter months. I also start to make some homemade pies and believe it or not but I begin making my Christmas cookies. All of these items are easy to freeze and make it simple to just grab out of the freezer, thaw, and cook a nice warm meal.
