Get Out and Experience God’s Beauty During Fall!

We love the “Places to Go This Fall” Planner from Ordinary & Happy because it encourages you to look a little closer to home. Sure, those famous parks and big cities are stunning this time of year—but sometimes we miss the beauty, the community, and the fun happening right in our own towns.

This planner is a great way to think about nearby parks, local events, and simple meet-ups with friends and family to soak in the season.
