Falling in love with Fall

…Summer 2020 has come and gone, and to be honest I spent most of it indoors.

Of course, COVID has certainly changed, derailed and/or indefinitely paused all of our bucket lists at the moment, but I like to think this summer taught me a few things. First: I needed the opportunity to really slow down. I was burnt out from my pace pre-COVID and didn’t really realize it until I was forced to sit with my own thoughts. And secondly, as I’m sure many of you have realized as well, there’s so much joy to be had right here in our very own backyards. I’ve shifted my perspective greatly this year to really value the time I do spend with close friends, to make those evenings in with my family and ultimately focus on what we can do, as opposed to fixating over what we can’t do at the moment. And it’s made all the difference.

With that said, I would like to be a little more proactive on planning activities for fall! Even just at-home ideas, because personally, I love to check some things off my list!

• Apple picking with the family

• Have a road trip

• Watch an old scary movie

• Weekend cabin getaway with hot cocoa

• Drink apple cider

• An autumn day in Central Park

• Buy fall candles

• Visit a winery/brewery

• Make smores & backyard campfire
