Fall Bucket List

Fall Bucket List
Winni the Pooh

It's that time again; the air is turning colder, pumpkin spice is a household topic once more and the Bostonians have begun to prepare for fall foliage pictures. It's time for a 2015 Fall Bucket List.

1. Apple Picking

There's nothing better then fresh apples that you hand pick and turn into yummy fall foods like apple pie and apple crisp.

2. Visiting a pumpkin patch

Grab some friends and drive out to a pumpkin patch in search for the perfect pumpkin. Make it a game that whoever finds the best pumpkin gets to pick the scary movies that night!

3. Haunted Houses

The fall season is full of fun things to do, but purposely going to a place that will fill you with frights and screams is the greatest fall activity. Make sure you go with a group and remember it's just for fun!

4. Hayrides

Nothing says fall quite like riding in a wagon over fallen leaves surrounded by pumpkins and good friends.

5. Carving Jack-o'-lanterns

Decorating for fall almost always involves those pumpkins you picked out at the pumpkin patch. Grab some tools and get to work carving a scary or funny face into that perfect pumpkin. Or if you don't want to ruin the perfect pumpkin by cutting into it just paint a face right on the side. If you do carve that pumpkin, don't forget to take the seeds and cook them up with some yummy spices.

6. Fall Cookies

When I was younger the surefire way that I knew it was fall was the Pillsbury cookies that were adorned with ghosts and pumpkins. If you aren't into pre-made cookies you can make fall cookies by adding sprinkles and sugar that are festive colors, like orange and yellow.

7. Caramel Apples

Pick just a few too many apples when you went apple picking? No problem, make those beautifully fresh apples into a not-so-healthy treat for a movie night with friends. Check out this link for a caramel apple recipe

8. Corn Maze

When a hayride just isn't enough, add a corn maze into your day! It's a great place to make memories with friends, have some healthy competition and take lots of fall-themed pictures. Just make sure you charge your phone in case you get lost!

9. Excessively watch the "13 Nights of Halloween"

ABC Family is a plethora for themed movie marathons. Don't miss out on their fall specials and spooky movies leading up to Halloween. They are a perfect distraction from all the fall baked goods.

10. Eat pumpkin-flavored anything

Breads, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, coffees...the list of things you can find and make that are pumpkin flavored is endless. So if you are in fact a fall-lover and you cant get enough of the pumpkin spiced flavor, try making some of your own goodies this year and check it off of your bucket list.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
