Thursday Thoughts

Happy Thursday!

I can't believe it's already October! This is my favorite time of year so I'm trying to squeeze in as many things as possible! I'm so thankful the weather has decided to chill out- I do not do well in 90-degree temps! I'm all for the mid-60s with some sun. Life has been a little crazy lately with the start of the school year & getting back into the groove of things- I'm always so happy when Thursday comes around! 

Things I did this week //

* Took a trip up to Stowe & visited the Cider Mill which I share in THIS post.

* Did some fun DIY projects that involved spray paint! I always forget how great spray paint is- it takes only a few mins to apply and changes the whole vibe of an item instantly! 

* Bought some work pants- Weird right? For some reason, I was seriously lacking in the bottoms department so I grabbed some new pants this week! I picked up some super cute cords in 2 colors & some black jegging type bottoms to go with sweaters! What types of bottoms do you like to wear to work? 

* Laughed at Kyle as he installed our new dishwasher- Our old one stopped working so we ventured to Lowes & picked up a new one- we could have added on installation when we purchased it but Kyle insisted he was man enough to complete the task HA! He did successfully install it though! 

Things I'm doing this weekend // 

* Game night! I feel like people always forget that you can have just as much fun at home as you can have going out! Put a funny movie on- grab monopoly & pop some popcorn! 

* One of my friends is getting married on Saturday afternoon so I will be attending her wedding! I'm still a little stumped on what to wear as it's outdoors and will be a little chilly! Any suggestions? 

* Going to a Corn Maze! I'm completing most of the items on my fall bucket list! Corn Mazes are so fun especially if you pack a thermos of hot chocolate (and some snacks) for when you get lost in there for an hour! 

Do you have any fun weekend plans? Let me know!

Cold Hollow Cider Mill

Shawl Vest // Perforated Bootie (similar) // Grey Shirt // Hat (Target) 

Hi All!

I wanted to share some snaps Kyle took while we were at the Cider Mill the other day! Cold Hollow Cider Mill is located in the scenic Waterbury Vermont which is just a short drive from Stowe. While at the Cider Mill you can enjoy fresh cider donuts (made right in front of you) - fresh hot or cold cider, maple coffee and much more! Inside the Cider Mill you are able to watch the apples be pressed into cider in a viewing area- they also provide explanations as to how the cider is made and packaged! Inside the mill store are many Vermont made products- from jams to dip and soup mixes! Outside the Cider Mill there are picnic tables, swinging chairs, a gazebo, and across the parking lot a restaurant! If you're visiting Vermont or the area I suggest you add this to your to do list it's the perfect fall activity! 

The day we went up to the mill was quite chilly so I chose to wear this wool hat I snagged at Target- these type of hats actually keep you surprisingly warm! I paired the hat with simple denim & a long sleeve tee with the coziest shawl vest I picked up at a boutique in Boston, but luckily it's also available online & comes in so many colors! 

Do you have any places like this where you live!?

Vermont Fall Weekend

Happy Sunday! 

This weekend Kyle was able to take some time off so we got to do some fun fall things! The foliage hasn't really started to come in yet in Vermont so instead of doing our normal fall drive we decided to head up to Stowe to grab lunch & head to Cold Hollow Cidermill and get fresh cider donuts & hot cider! It was the perfect activity for a cold fall day! If you're ever in Vermont you have to try Piecasso up in Stowe- it's so delicious and you can get full pizzas or just order slices to go! Cold Hollow Cider mill offers so much to do from shopping local VT products to watching their cider be made! I stood outside the cider press just watching in amazement today! It's so cool that the cider is made right in front of you and then bottled! You can also watch the cider donuts be made so when you order them they're fresh and hot! So yummy! I'm thinking tomorrow or next weekend we will go pumpkin picking! 

Do you have any fun things you do in the fall!? Let me know!

XO,

Nicholle
