Fall Bucket List & Brooksby Farm

By -

Happy Friday! 


Today I'm talking all about my Fall Bucket List and the first two things I checked off of it! 

I started this list so that I would be motivated to do fun things this fall, but also so I would get some service and volunteering in! 


Yesterday I went to Brooksby Farm in a little town just north of Boston and checked off "Eat An Apple Cider Donut" and "Visit A Farm" from my list! This is the cutest farm and orchard! The colors were beautiful and their donuts are perfection! They also have a TON of jams, jellies, and BBQ sauces for sale. Of course, I had to try one! I went with a jar of "Cranberry Pepper Jelly" and it did not disappoint! We took it over to our friends' house last night and it was a huge hit! We spread plain cream cheese on thin round crackers and topped them off with the jelly. So freakin' good!





Ok so I just want to talk really quick about some of the other things on my Fall Bucket List...

1. Make a "Thankful" List
I think this is such a great thing to do in the fall, especially around Thanksgiving! It allows us to reflect on all of the blessings, big and small, in our lives. More often than not, writing down and visualizing the things we are thankful for helps us step back from our crazy lives and really appreciate how blessed we are!

2. Volunteer at a Food Bank
With all of the hurricanes, natural disasters, and random acts of violence going on in the world today, I feel like volunteering to help those in need is the least I can do! I have been blessed by so many others throughout my life and it feels good to give back. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." I love that scripture! And I love doing service for others, it's a simple way to show our love and live like Christ. I'm surprising my hubby for his birthday in a few weeks...we're going to volunteer at the Greater Boston Food Bank for a few hours!

For anyone local, here's the link to sign up for GBFB if you're interested!

3. Watch Hocus Pocus
This is like a right of passage! Everyone should see this movie at least once in their life! It's a classic Fall movie. I'm hoping to check this item off my bucket list this weekend with my hubby...we'll see how that goes!!

Ok, that's enough from me. Enjoy your Fri-yay and have a fantastic weekend!!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
