My Fall Bucket List 2022

September 21, 2022

Fall just arrived but we’ve already been feeling the crisp and cool air that I usually associate with October. I am sad to see Summer go, but we have so much to look forward to. Keep reading for my fall bucket list 2022.

Apple Cider Doughnuts

I may have already gotten a jump start on our yearly apple cider doughnut tour (updated blog post coming very soon) but this is one of my favorite fall traditions. Not only is it fun to visit these new farm stands and stores, it’s a tasty way to tour the area!

Hocus Pocus 2

I will be wrapping up work early on September 30 so that I can camp out on my couch and watch the highly-anticipated sequel to my favorite Halloween film, Hocus Pocus. I cannot believe that after almost 30 years they brought back Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, to recreate these iconic characters. You can check out last year’s post on local Hocus Pocus filming spots (which I’ll be updating soon).

Halloween

I know most kids loved Christmas growing up but my favorite holiday has always been Halloween. I think it’s the idea of dressing up and being someone else for a day that was so appealing (the result of wanting to be an actress and maybe be able to escape for reality for a few hours). Even as an adult, I love Halloween and have imparted that love onto Arielle. We do 31 days of Halloween costumes and I have so amazing content planned for the entire month of October – so stay tuned for that!

Farm Visits

I am not an outdoor girl and I suffer from allergies, so pretty much the only time you’ll find me on the farm is on a beautiful fall day. If it’s sunny and in the 60s or 70s, that is the ideal farm day. We’re so lucky to have so many great family-run farms in our area that have fun fall activities for the whole family, and adorable animals that Arielle can coo over.

Fall Foliage

We live in such a gorgeous area when it comes to fall foliage and one of my favorite things to do is take a long drive to do some leaf peeping. With the dry summer we had I’m not sure what that will do to the foliage, but we’re still hoping to see some of those gorgeous bright colors.

What are you looking forward to this fall?

How to tackle 250 years of history with kids in to How to tackle 250 years of history with kids in tow—without a single mid-1800s meltdown! ✨🕰️

Let’s be honest: taking kids to a sprawling, 200-acre outdoor museum can sound intimidating on paper. But our day exploring @oldsturbridgevillage was an absolute dream, and it turns out that 1830s New England charm is the ultimate antidote to modern screen fatigue.

With the entire nation celebrating America’s 250th anniversary this year, the village is buzzing with an electric, celebratory energy. Here is our family edit on how we made this living history leap a massive hit for the little ones—and an effortlessly cool day out for us:

✨ 1. Ditch the Grid, Let Them Lead: We threw out the rigid sightseeing schedule the second we crunched onto the gravel paths. Whether they wanted to spend twenty minutes asking the cobbler questions or follow a wandering flock of sheep, letting their natural curiosity set the pace was our secret weapon.
✨ 2. Zero in on the Sensory Magic: Kids learn by doing, seeing, and touching! We prioritized the high-action stops: the mesmerizing glow of the blacksmith’s hearth, the working farm animals, and the stagecoach rides.
✨ 3. Ride the 250th Wave: The 250th anniversary festivities are pure visual and auditory gold for children. The rhythmic fife and drum parades and lively historical reenactments captured their attention in a way a textbook never could! 🥁🇺🇸
✨ 4. Glam on the Gravel: Practicality is chic. We paired tailored layers with our most comfortable, heavy-rotation walking sneakers, packed plenty of snacks, and embraced the slow, unplugged pace of village life.

Watching the kids trade screen time for hands-on discovery while we got to stroll arm-in-arm through sun-drenched heirloom gardens? That is the holy grail of family travel. Proof that you never have to sacrifice style, spirit, or your sanity to learn something new together! 🌿👟

Little known fact about me: I have always had a wild dream of getting my pilot’s license. I actually flew a plane once, and that feeling of total freedom, altitude, and pure rebellion has stayed with me ever since.

So you can imagine my absolute delight when I found out that the ultimate queen of the skies—Amelia Earhart—used to call Medford, Massachusetts home in the 1920s! Before she was breaking world records and rewriting the history books, she was living right here on Brooks Street while working as a social worker. And today is her birthday! She would have been 128 years old today.

We took a little afternoon stroll to check out the plaque outside her historic house, and then headed into downtown Medford for a coffee and to take in this incredible mural on the side of Colleen’s. It is the absolute coolest tribute to a woman who refused to let anyone tell her how high she could fly.

Here is your reminder today to put on the aviators, book the flight, take the risk, and own your boldest, most unapologetic ambitions. 🥂

The House & Plaque: 76 Brooks Street, Medford, MA

The Mural: Outside Colleen’s in Downtown Medford

When the craving for true Parisian luxury hits but a transatlantic flight isn’t on the morning agenda, you improvise. I threw on my favorite oversized sunnies, packed the girls into the car, and bee-lined it to Michette Bakery in Somerville.

Tasting Table recently named them one of the 14 Best French Bakeries in the entire US, and let me tell you, darlings—the hype is incredibly real. The pain au chocolat is an absolute masterpiece of flaky, buttery perfection that practically transported me right back to strolling the Seine in 2016. It’s the ultimate luxe morning: world-class pastry, toddler sticky fingers, and zero apologies.

If you’re looking for an epic family outing that doesn’t require a trust fund or a meticulously color-coded itinerary, a trip to the Charlestown Navy Yard is it. The U.S.S. Constitution is the grand dame of the harbor, and she is always ready for her close-up.

Here is the ultimate cheat code for a high-low glam day out:

The Ship: It is completely FREE to step aboard and explore “Old Ironsides” (just remember adults need to bring an ID for security!).

The Visitor’s Center: Also free, and the perfect spot to cool down and get your bearings.

The Museum: If you want to dive deeper into the history without emptying your wallet, simply grab a pass from your local library (yes, the library, not the museum!) before you go. It waives the admission, making the whole day basically free.

Less money spent on tickets means more budget for post-adventure lattes and ice cream. That’s just smart girl math.

Have you taken the kids yet?
