Fall Festivities: 8 Ways to Celebrate the Season
There’s just something about the beginning of fall that puts a pep in everyone’s step—and not just because fall marks the return of good TV (FINALLY!!!) and pumpkin spice lattes. Fall means football and boots and cozy knit sweaters. Halloween and leaves turning and pumpkin patches filled with haystacks. We’re so excited about fall, we came up with eight different ways to celebrate it. Let the fall festivities begin!
