One of the most favorable times of year is here, Fall! Here are my 12 must do's for fall.

1) Drink hot apple cider (as much as you can). Nothing beats a hot cup of cider on a cool fall day. It is essential for the fall season. Any other season hot apple cider just isn't the same.

2) Carving pumpkins. A messy activity, but totally worth it. The good thing about carving pumpkins is that you don't have to be a professional carver to carve an awesome looking pumpkin.

3) Make a homemade pumpkin pie. After carving pumpkins, get familiar in the kitchen and make a delicious fall favorite dessert from scratch.

4) Get lost in a corn maze. Need I say more? Who doesn't want to get lost for possibly hours in a field of corn?

5) Take a hayride. Slow down time and enjoy the journey.

6) Stock up on candy corn. You can never have too much of the season's official candy.

7) Take a drive through the countryside. Take in the beautiful scenery and the vibrant colors of the trees that fall brings.

8) Jump in a pile of leaves. Bring out your inner kid, make the absolute biggest pile of leaves and fall into them.

9) Go on a nature walk. Breathe in the the cool crisp air of fall and appreciate the amazing weather.

10) Build a bonfire. There's no greater time like the fall to have a bonfire and roast some marshmallows.

11) Bring out the flannels. The most important, comfortable, and fashionable piece of clothing someone could ever own. Flannels look great on everyone and are necessary for fall.

12) Go trick or treating no matter your age. Halloween is once a year and its a great opportunity for some free candy. Take advantage of it!
