I’m a few days late for Keep It Together, but I’m here! I’m also mixing Keep It Together and my Fall Bucket List update into one post. After all, bucket lists are all about planning and memory keeping, right?
Keep It Together: My Fall 2019 Bucket List Update
- Have a Halloween movie night: Yes, I had one with some friends and it was a lot of fun. I need to watch some more Halloween films though.
- Eat a caramel apple: Yes, I’ve had two. Yum!
- See the movie IT: Chapter Two: Not yet…but still some time.
- Go to a Fall/Halloween Festival: I went to a Fall Fest at a library with my nieces and nephew, and it was a lot of fun. I also went to the Pumpkin Festival at a local farm.
- Read at least two mysteries/thrillers: I read A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis, so I’m halfway there.
- Visit a craft show: Yes, I went to one over the weekend. More to come!
- Watch a movie outdoors: Not yet – a couple of my possible plans didn’t work out.
- See the play Titus Andronicus at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company: Sadly, no. I was supposed to go yesterday but I was down and out with allergies/cold symptoms. Ugh.
- Attend library craft events with my mom: I have one coming up this week; I can’t remember if I’ve gone to one since I first posted my list. Lots planned for the rest of Fall though!
- Start planning/purchasing Christmas gifts – I want to start somewhat early: Yes! I’ve started on my mom and sister’s Christmas gifts, and I’ve got a few ideas for the nieces and nephew. Not a bad start!
5 1/2 out of 10 is the final verdict, and with it only being one month since Fall started, I think that’s pretty good!
How are you doing on your Fall Bucket List? Are you thinking of your Holiday/Winter bucket lists yet?

Love your Bucket List! You gave us some good ideas we hadn’t thought of! Thanks!
What a great list!!
Nice progress!! 🙂 <3
Sorry the play didn’t work out because you weren’t feeling well. Will you still be able to see it or is it too late?
Unfortunately, I can’t go now, but my friend and her boyfriend went and enjoyed it!
Oh, that’s good. At least someone got to enjoy the tickets. Sorry you had to miss it!
Yay! Glad that you’ve been knocking out those bucket list items! I wonder if my local library has any craft events…that’d be fun to go to! :]
Oooh, a pumpkin festival. I have to know – did it feature lots of pumpkin foods? Because, I would be there for that.
You know what? It didn’t! It was more about taking a hayride and being able to get pumpkins – and then lots of other fun activities.
Oooops, I think my comment disappeared. Like I was saying, so proud of your 5 1/2 yeses on your fall bucket list. Can’t wait to see what you guys do at the library this visit. You come back with the cutest projects. Your caramel apples have me wanting a candied apple. Need to find one! And look at you get the jump on Christmas!! I have at least been thinking about it! Ha! Well done, my sweet friend.
Sounds like you’re doing a great job checking things off the list. I need to watch the last Halloween movie, and yes to caramel apples! Delicious! Good luck in checking off the rest on your list! 🙂
You’ve been doing great with your bucket list!! Good luck with the rest of them!
Wow, you’re making great progress and still have plenty of time left to finish your list and maybe even doing a few more fun things. 🙂
I never think of bucket lists as part of planning/memory keeping, but I guess you’re right! I try to buy Christmas gifts throughout the year- whenever I see something someone I know would like. I need to take stock and see who’s left to buy for though. I’m on the fence with It: Chapter Two… I think I want to see Joker first. You’re doing great with your list!
You’re off to a great start! I’m especially jealous about those caramel apples. I need to get on that. Happy Fall!
My bucket list right now is all pertaining to my new house. For one thing, I need to get my garage cleaned out so I can start parking in there once it gets really cold and snowy, or at least before it is cold. I also need to get going on cleaning my storage space out so I can stop paying that monthly fee. Good job on getting what you want done!
Thanks! Good luck with all of your goals!!
I’d say 5 1/2 out of ten is darn good! Fall is such a busy time of year it can be hard to get everything done!
Oooo good luck finishing the rest of your bucket list! You’re doing great so far. I’ve never had a caramel apple despite having the chance to buy one, and I haven’t thought about winter or holiday bucket list. Too busy trying to survive fall first!
You’re doing great with your fall bucket list! I very rarely read scary/horror/thriller books but I have TWO from the library right now, haha. The Whisper Man and The Shining! And I’m excited about both of them. Lol
haha good job! I used to hate reading scary books, but I’ve gotten more into them as time went on. I want to read The Whisper Man!
My kids have a half day on Friday and we may get some snacks at Walgreens and then come home and watch a couple of Halloween movies. I’m excited!

That sounds like so much fun!! What are you going to watch?

Karen @ For What It’s Worth
Looks like you have a great start! You have a lot of fun activities on your list.
You’re doing well, and like you said, only a month into the fall. A movie outside sounds brave at this time of year! Wrap up well! I hope another plan for one comes together for you…sounds like a lot of fun.
Awesome! If I were to make one, it would be to visit a pumpkin patch. I’ve never been to one. Can you believe it?
You should definitely look into going to one then!
Ahh you’re doing amazing on your bucket list so far, yay! I hope this continues 🙂
Great job on your list so far!
What a fun bucket list. I had a fun Halloween movie night with my husband and daughter. I’ve been wanting to see It part 2 also 🙂
Girl, NO!(lol) There are so many scary movies lines up on AMC and I keep passing them by. Then Netflix has tons and tons. Give me my Christmas movies please.(lol) I haven’t been to a craft show for quite some time, but I need to try to check a few out before Christmas. Yay to that candy apple! Hope your day is going well! Hugs, RO
haha i used to HATE scary movies, and I still don’t watch a ton of them. I love craft shows though – you can find some great gifts there.
Too bad the cold kept you from the play! Hope you feel better and get another opportunity for that.
Yum, caramel apples…. I have yet to have one this year. That is now on the list for something that needs to happen STAT!
Some of your points are on my fall bucket list too!
Congrats on achieving some already!
I love your list! I haven’t had a single caramel apple this year, I think I am going to try to make caramel apple nachos this weekend for us to snack on. Fall is my favorite time of year for all the fun things! I hope you are enjoying it!
Great progress on your Autumn Bucket List! I see a couple of items on yours I should add to mine!
Great job on your fall bucket list!! I haven’t had a caramel apple yet but really want one! I love this time of year so much; really high on my list for today is making an apple crisp with all the apples bryan and I picked at the farm a few weeks ago. Mmm!!! Happy fall, Lauren!
Thanks, Charlotte. I hope your apple crisp turns out well!
You’re doing great on your bucket list! I didn’t set one this year. hahahaha I used to like clock work. I am excited for winter things. I don’t want to wish fall away. But winter is so fun! Speaking of. If I make you a mini album, would you prefer traditional christmas colors or less so? XO – Alexandra

Whoops – sorry I’m so late in answering this, but honestly, any colors work for me!!
I love this!! I’m kicking myself for not making a list like this for myself. Fall FLEW by and now I’ve missed so many things that I usually do every year.
