We’ve been spoiled this year with late summer warmth and endless blue skies. But yesterday, I finally had to pull out a coat for the Navy Football game — they won! Go Navy!
As much as I’ll miss summer, there’s something I love about the crisp air and the explosion of color all around the neighborhood. I’m ready to lean into cozy — sweaters, candles, and all the autumn vibes.
Enjoy a peek at my fall décor!
Whispers of Fall
Golden light through amber trees,
A hush of wind, a gentle tease.
Leaves like embers drift and spin,
Autumn’s song begins again.
Crisp air hums with orchard sweet,
Boots and laughter, crunching feet.
The world slows down, the colors call—
There’s magic in the heart of fall.
It’s been a whirlwind start to fall around here! School is in full swing—can you believe the Princess is already in 7th grade? Between field hockey practices, homecoming dances, and tackling Pre-Algebra (yikes!), our days have been packed from morning to night.
Somehow, in the middle of it all, I managed to sneak in a bit of fall decorating and finally pulled out my favorite sweaters and boots—always the best part of the season. With a long weekend ahead, we decided it was the perfect time for a quick fall getaway. A little change of scenery, some fresh air, and plenty of cozy vibes were exactly what we needed before life gets busy again.
Just a short drive from Annapolis, we found ourselves on Tilghman Island, staying at the loveliest little inn. We slept in, relaxed, and let time slow down for a bit. The highlight? Discovering Redemption Farms in Denton, MD—a small, family-run farm with friendly faces and rows of crisp apples ready for picking. Afterwards, we spent the afternoon wandering through St. Michaels, a charming town full of cute shops and waterfront views that make you want to stay just a little longer.
It was simple, sweet, and exactly what this season is meant for—slowing down, savoring, and soaking in the beauty of fall.
