The heat of summer finally seems to be over and the timing couldn’t be better as we greet the first days of fall. This is my most favourite time of the year and not just because it is cool enough for indoor activities.  I actually love to be outside in the cooler weather, enjoying the breeze, the changing colours and just the smells of autumn. But I can understand why many people want to sneak off inside and hide. Instead, I want to encourage you to head outside now, before the snow starts to fall.

To help motivate you, I’m sharing some of my favourite things to do outdoors during the fall and my secrets that help keep me going (even if it’s a little chilly). 

Fall Walks:

There’s nothing better than going for a long walk to take in all the sensory experiences the season has to offer. From the smell of fresh air, to the colourful changing leaves, you’re sure to make this a staple in your weekly routine. But with the change of season comes a change to our wardrobe. Switching from sandals to shoes and boots can be uncomfortable as our feet get used to different footwear. To help ease any discomfort, I wear my Dr. Scholl’s Comfort & Energy Massaging Gel Insoles, especially on longer walks to make sure I can comfortably keep moving without having to turn back early. These insoles are great for foot and leg fatigue, with gel waves that massage the most sensitive areas of my foot.

Get Active!

If you’re looking for a little more activity, there are lots of options to keep you going during the fall. If you’re really adventurous, join a fall sports league or get your family out to play something new like soccer or softball. If sports aren’t your thing, check out fun outdoor activities happening in your area each week, like apple picking or going to a pumpkin patch. I know what you’re thinking, the aches and pains that come with physical activity can be a deterrent (even if it’s picking up a few pumpkins), especially if it affects your sleep. I keep ALEVE Nighttime on my nightstand so I don’t have to worry. ALEVE Nighttime relieves my muscle aches and pains for up to 12 hours, plus it has a sleep aid to help me fall asleep and stay asleep.  

Seasonal Crafts:

I love letting my artistic side come out by creating DIY things for the house or crafting with my kids, using bits of nature I find during the fall months (and on my fall walks). It’s amazing how creative we can get using colourful leaves, birch bark, or flowers. One of my favourite crafts to make is a fall frame using sticks and gluing leaves, stones and dried flowers to the frame. Bonus points if you use it to frame a picture taken on one of your walks!

Feed The Ducks:

Fall is the perfect time of the year to make your walk destination the local park or lake. There will be plenty of wildlife to observe and you can bet there will be some hungry ducks looking for a snack or two. This can be a sweet family outing that sets the tone for a season of thanksgiving and sharing. ♥

Our family is always looking for new fall activities to do together; what are your favourite things to do during the fall season?
