Apple Picking

Over the weekend we went apple picking! We typically go later in the fall, but we wanted to make sure we got Honeycrisp apples this year (the BEST), so we had to go a little early. We went up on a Sunday morning that was overcast, and there was hardly anyone there! It was a pleasant surprise, since the orchard we go to is typically so crowded you have to wait in line to get a parking spot, let alone the apple cider donuts. We did purchase said donuts before we made our way into the orchard. Madeleine did great in the Solly baby wrap and enjoyed looking all around. We came home with plenty of apples, and now I am excited for fall!

Happy Friday + Fall!

The first day of fall is tomorrow!  Autumn is my favorite time of year:  I love the cool evenings, cozy sweaters, pumpkin baked goods, sweaters, and just that fresh feeling that seems to come with the change of season.  We're starting off the season by heading to the apple orchard tomorrow (so excited!), so I thought I would share the rest of my fall bucket list.  

1. Buy mums for the front porch

2. Pick apples

3. Go to a college football game

4. Buy a dutch oven and make lots of soups & stews

5. Carve a pumpkin

6. Find a new flannel shirt

7. Get some Joe Beans pumpkin spice coffee beans (my favorite for fall!)

8. Take the MG out for some pretty drives

What makes you excited for fall?
