These are my top picks for ways to celebrate fall.

1. Make a great apple pie. We picked up a whole bunch of organic apples and I decided to make an apple pie. It was amazing! I got a little brave with the crust and had my first attempt at a lattice crust.

2. Put your summer clothes away and pull out all of your great sweaters or jumpers.

3. Get yourself a pair of cashmere bed socks -- so soft and comfy

4. Make a great cup of hot chocolate. I love and really miss Swiss Miss Hot chocolate. I know it's cheap and I could probably make a better quality version myself but it reminds me of being a kid.

5. Carve a pumpkin.

6. Take a Jack the Ripper Walking Tour.

7. Head to the country to admire all the beautiful colors.

8. Bake a loaf of banana or pumpkin bread. Better yet, bake two loaves and freeze one. You can pull it out on a cold morning, slice it and pop it in the toaster...yum.
