Between my trip to Buffalo, complete with Tim Hortons coffee and kale, tomato, and garbanzo bean soup, and this "chilly" week in the Queen City - I'll be the first to say I'm ready for fall.

I’ve been slacking. A lot. Guilty as charged. My full time job consists of writing, writing, and well more writing, which basically means I’m using that as an excuse to not keep up with this little blog.

There’s nothing quite like fall. Pumpkin brews, crisp temps and football season. Mmm...This fall, I’m more than ready to cross off these fall-esque activities from my to-do list.

As summer dwindles down, I have quite a few ‘summery’ things I need to cross off my summer bucket list before the world becomes one big pumpkin spice latte.

Fall. The one season we all go nuts for - I'm guilty of indulging in Pumpkin Spice Lattes, rocking leggings + riding boots and heading to a pumpkin patch to get the perfect Insta. Maybe we're all a little guilty of that? Opps. Go ahead and call me basic. Leggings, riding boots, flannel shirts, PSL's, pumpkin patches - it's all synonymous with basic. If being basic means being cozy + drinking yummy lattes, then I'm definitely not above it.
One thing I promised myself as the leaves started changing was that I was going to take advantage of this gorgeous season by doing all things fall-related - this meant I needed a fall bucket list. Here are a few of my must-do things:
1. Scary Movie + Dinner Night: It might sound pretty damn cliche, but 1) everyone loves a good scary movie during Halloween (and if you don't stick to Hocus Pocus) and 2) an excuse to have dinner with friends is always a good idea. Let me go ahead and let you know I'm doing this at a friend's place tonight - complete with a seriously spooky movie + Chicken Tortilla Soup - so really I just put this on here so I could cross it off. Don't lie, you do the same thing. ::satisfied::
2. Picnic Party: So I've always loved a good picnic - I honestly can't remember the last time I actually had one, but nonetheless how fun would this be? Am I right? I'm picturing a bottle of vino (probs Malbec), brie + crackers and matching flannel shirts (totally kidding), but hey a girl can dream. Damn you, Pinterest.
3. Parkway Drive: We live in Virginia - aka one of the prettiest places in the fall. I can't wait to take a long drive on the Parkway - it is one of the best places to admire the changing leaves. #Blessed. lolz.
4. Glitter Pumpkins: Carving pumpkins is fun and all, but glittering a pumpkin is just that much better. I can't wait to test this one out - while drinking wine, of course. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.
5. BYOP / Bring Your Own Popcorn: I think it'd be a fun party-theme to have guests make their own popcorn and have a taste-test party (of course with booze). Maybe they make a spicy popcorn, a birthday funfetti popcorn (bonus points if you make this) or even just the classic movie theatre kind - have guests judge each based on taste, creativity, etc. It'd be a fun twist on a weekend get-together - I'm definitely planning on trying this out soon!
