If there is one thing I love about fall, it would be heading out to the east end of Long Island to go apple (and pumpkin) picking. Something about this annual tradition brings me back to my childhood and reminds…
The November Agenda
My birthday month is finally here! That’s right…I said month…because I actually plan on celebrating for the entire month. Aside from my birthday, November is easily one of my favorite months—I’m just coming off a sugar-high from Halloween (as I…
The October Agenda
It’s October 1st, so let the pumpkin pandemonium begin. Don’t ask me why, but I just can’t get into the pumpkin spirit until the first day of the month (and I do love my pumpkins). I will admit—this year I…
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!
Lately, it has been starting to feel like fall. With summer officially coming to an end (tomorrow!), I guess I have to embrace the new season whether I am ready to or not. Fortunately, I squeezed in one final beach…
The November Agenda
It seems like we just entered fall…and now we are in November and turning the clocks back in just a few days. Where has the time (and daylight) gone?! While I’m partial to the month of November (it is my…
Last-Minute Hostess Gift Ideas

Apple Picking at The Milk Pail
Over the weekend, I took full advantage of the gorgeous weather and crossed another item off my fall agenda — apple picking at The Milk Pail in Water Mill, New York. The almost 70-degree October Sunday was too nice to…
Pumpkin Pandemonium 2016
I feel like fall is slipping away from me. It’s almost the middle of October, and I have yet to go pumpkin and apple picking (thanks, Mother Nature), decorate a pumpkin, or even buy Halloween candy (it’s probably good that…
The October Agenda
Thank you all so much for your support and kind words on Monday’s post. I truly appreciated the well wishes, and I found myself frequently revisiting your comments when the going got tough during the week. Change is never easy,…
Take Me Back to Summer
It’s only a week after the official end of summer and I am already missing it! It seems like there has been no gentle transition to fall temperatures; the weather has changed suddenly – too abruptly for my liking. What…
