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.
