95 | Lock in Lovely! Create & Live Out the Fall of Your Dreams This 2026

October is here, lovely! And instead of letting fall fly by only to reach December wishing you had done more, today we’re slowing down and intentionally creating a fall that feels lovely to you. In Episode 95 of the Lovely Home Podcast, we’re creating a fall bucket list—but with one very important foundation: you cannot do it all. We’re talking about seasonal guilt, giving God the eraser, using your five senses to discover what you want to experience this fall, creating a fall mood board and playlist, making a seasonal food list, and choosing what kind of fall you actually need this year. Then I’m sharing my own 2026 fall bucket list, including fires and jam sessions, cozy reading, nature walks with Ember, stargazing with Nathan, antiquing, farmers markets, Bible study, coffee shop reading, chess, cinnamon rolls, Little House on the Prairie, and more. Because your fall doesn't have to look like anyone else's. You don't have to attend every festival, visit every pumpkin patch, bake every Pinterest recipe, or decorate your entire house. You can simply ask: “What would be lovely to me this fall?” And then pay attention. 🍂 IN THIS EPISODE: How to create a fall bucket list without seasonal guilt Why you don't have to do it all “Write in pencil and give God the eraser” Creating a fall bucket list through your five senses How to make a fall mood board Creating a fall playlist Building a fall food bucket list Choosing what kind of fall you need this year Recharging, giving-back, festive, and nature falls My personal 2026 fall bucket list Using MASH to choose weekly fall activities Turning ordinary seasonal moments into acts of worship Your Lovely To-Do for the week 🤎 LINKS MENTIONED Shop the Lovely Home Planner Lovely Home Planner The Lovely Home Planner is where you can complete this week's Lovely To-Do: “What would be lovely to me this fall?” The planner includes dedicated Lovely To-Do pages designed for brain dumps and weekly reflection.
