Fall Favorites | Fall Bucket List

-

Guys, I'm so excited for this post! My favorite blogger, Emily, has teamed up with Sarah for their annual Fall Favorites link up, and I am so excited that I get to talk all things fall for the entire month of September- what could be better? First up, is our Fall bucket list!

Morning walks. This may sound silly, but I can't wait to take morning walks when it's cooler out. Walks in 90 degree weather is never pleasant. 

Go apple picking & make an apple pie. Apple pie is my favorite desert, but I have never made one from apples I have freshly picked.

Go to at least one Waterfire. In Providence, RI there are weekly "waterfires" which are basically basin bonfires on the river. There are usually other events going on at the same time, and music playing as well. Tons of people go and it's such a night way to spend a Saturday night, walking around the city and exploring the vendors and waterfire.

Actually wear my riding boots. I bought these last year and only wore them a couple times. It's so hard to find wide-calf boots that actually fit me well, so I had might as well get use out of them!

Go to my church's harvest festival. We meant to go last year and never made it!

Have more frequent bonfires at home. We love to do these on my husband's nights off and just relax outside in the cool air. 

Find a fall wreath I love and hang it on my front door. 

Decorate my front porch. I've never decorated outside before for fall. I hope I get to this year. Time to check out Hobby Lobby...

What is on your fall bucket list? Let me know in the comments! 

Linking up with Emily.

    The waterfires look amazing! Wish we had something like that around here!

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

The best news I could ever share.

I haven't posted in a while. But, it's been for a really good reason, I promise. "For this child, we have prayed, and the Lord has granted us the desires of our heart." Someone pinch me... I can't believe this is real. I  feel so blessed and unbelievably happy that I get to share some wonderful news- we are expecting our first baby! We are so excited to finally be parents. I'm due early September and can honestly say that it can't come soon enough.  ❤ We can't wait to meet you, little one. Mommy and Daddy (and Cooper, too) have prayed for you, for so long. You are already so incredibly loved.  ❤ (I'm so sorry if my announcement causes anyone any pain. I know the feeling of going to bed every night feeling hopeless and empty. I know what it is like to see mothers pushing strollers in the store, and your heart yearning for that experience.  Please know that every night I pray for anyone facing the nightmare of infertility,that th
