5 Cozy Ways to Celebrate the First Day of Fall

Happy first day of fall! 🍁 Whether the weather is crisp where you live or you’re still waiting on that first cool breeze, there’s something magical about this season’s official start. Fall is a time for slowing down, savoring cozy moments, and leaning into all the traditions that make this time of year so special. If you’re looking for inspiration, I’ve gathered a few of my favorite ways to celebrate autumn (with some photos I’ve taken along the way!).

5 ways to celebrate the First day of Fall 

1. Spend Time Doing Fall Activities


Visit a local pumpkin patch, take a walk through crunchy leaves, or sip cider at a fall festival. Seasonal activities are a great way to soak in the new season and create core memories.

2. Plan a Fall Photo Shoot (With Your Dogs!)


One of my favorite things to do is grab my camera and capture my pups, Remley and Finley, surrounded by the changing leaves. A cozy fall scarf or a themed collar can turn everyday moments into treasured seasonal snapshots.

3. Bake Something Seasonal


Nothing says fall like the smell of warm spices in the kitchen. I recently baked cinnamon bomb muffins—soft, sweet, and perfect with a cup of coffee. Whether you try pumpkin bread, apple crisp, or a new muffin recipe, fall is the perfect excuse to turn on the oven.

4. Start a New Cozy Hobby


Fall is the season for leaning into hobbies that bring comfort. Try cozy coloring pages, pick up a new stack of books, or even learn the basics of sewing. I’m also hoping to explore a little downtime with my Nintendo Switch Lite.

5. Refresh Your Home for Fall


Switch out lighter summer decor for warm, seasonal touches—think plaid throws, candles, and rustic textures. Even swapping your entryway mat or adding a fall wreath can instantly set the mood for the season.

The first day of fall is the perfect reminder to pause and welcome the shift in seasons. Whether you’re baking something sweet, snuggling with your dogs for a cozy photo shoot, or diving into a new hobby, there are endless ways to celebrate autumn.
