Fall fun list



Greetings! Even though we've had a very nice, summer-like September in Toronto, I see pumpkins at the local farmers' market and know Fall is arriving in my part of the world. Today I have my fall list of twenty fun activities to share with you. On my list, you'll see a mix of self-care fitness, time with family and friends, celebrations, local explorations, and upcoming travels. Let's get right to it, shall we?

Fall fun list of 20:

  1. Exercise in the gym 3x per week, one hour each time.
  2. Yoga 2x per week, up to one hour each time.
  3. Swim 1x per week, up to one hour.
  4. Run short distance 1x per week, up to 5K.
  5. Celebrate Thanksgiving and my blog's 1st anniversary with a pumpkin pie. Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 9 this year.
  6. Enjoy a therapeutic massage.
  7. Travel to Ireland in October.
  8. Visit Dublin, capital city of Ireland.
  9. Explore the landscapes along Ireland's wild Atlantic side.
  10. Write my first guest post on another blog. 
  11. Email my friends who live overseas.
  12. Meet my local friends for coffee.
  13. Watch a new-to-me movie.
  14. Attend a concert.
  15. View a new art exhibition.
  16. Take a trip to Central Europe in November with my sister. 
  17. Explore Budapest, capital city of Hungary.
  18. Visit Bratislava, capital city of Slovakia.
  19. Re-visit Vienna, capital city of Austria.
  20. Explore Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic.
Fall is a beautiful season. I look forward to completing my fun list in the coming weeks, and sharing my progress updates here, with the first report out on October 21.

  1. Oh Natalie you and I have so much in common! I love your exercise routine and might follow that myself. I would also love to travel to Ireland so will eagerly await your posts! Enjoy your Fall while I'm enjoying Spring Down Under! Have a great week.

  2. Okay, so 'some' of those look fun! The catching up with friends and travel etc but I'm not so sure about the gym! (Although perhaps that's why I've not stuck with the gym for years on end - I think of it as hard work!)

    Great idea though and I like the blend of fun stuff with (ummm) less-fun stuff! #teamlovinlife

    1. Add a play list or a good friend to your gym visit, Deborah, and it's a different and fun experience.

  14. Congratulations on your guest post! Hope you'll share it here so we can follow along. And enjoy your upcoming travels! Having been to most of them over the years, I can guarantee you are in for a most wonderful time. E Europe is an interesting , unfolding part of the world, and quite different from W Europe. It will be interesting to read your thoughts upon visiting.

    Enjoy your upcoming Canadian Thanksgiving!

  15. Natalie, you are one busy traveler. Would love to see what you pack to wear for your adventures. Traveling to Germany the end of this week and have no idea what to take!

    Your work out schedule is quite ambitious. We were better about exercising most of the summer but fell off the bandwagon the last week or so. Thinking I better pack stretchy clothes that will expand after a good German meal or two.

    I appreciate all of the cultural activities you pack into your bucket lists. The art exhibitions and concert mentions. I would think you can easily knock those out during your European holiday.

    Looking forward to photos and details from your season!

    1. Oh, Leslie, I pack light. Fall is transition season so I'd check the weather at my destination and bring layers. I just posted five tips to stay fit while traveling. I'd love to hear your feedback. Have a safe and fabulous trip to Germany! Look forward to your post and pictures from your trip.
