Hello October!
Did September fly by as fast for you as it did for me?! Well it’s time to kick off a new month and one of my favorite ways to do that is by joining the Ultimate Coffee Date! So grab a mug of coffee, tea or another favorite beverage and let’s catch up for a bit!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you October is probably one of my favorite months! The weather is perfect for running and the foliage in New England is beautiful – it’s a great time to be outdoors! And, all things pumpkin are plentiful – win!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you we heading out to western Mass to go apple picking tomorrow. It’s a family tradition – we go to a great family run farm that has a wide variety of apples, peaches and pumpkins plus hayrides, an amazing farm stand and a great barbecue. It’s such a fun way to spend the day and I tell you those apple cider doughnuts are killer!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I am on a decluttering kick! After just one month of school, homework, volunteer projects, etc. I’ve lost sight of most of my dining room table and a counter in the kitchen. But, truthfully, I don’t plan to stop there – I’m going after closets, the mini-man cave (aka our playroom) and…our home office. 
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that my husband J and I will celebrate our 22nd anniversary later this month (another reason I love October!). We’ve actually been together 26 years! As cliched as it may sound he truly is my best friend. I don’t know what we’ll do to celebrate but given the way the calendar looks this month, it will probably be at one of the boys’ sport events!
If we were having coffee together what would you tell me?
I love the coffee date. I plan to join today too but my site is down for some reason so save me a seat and come back later? Oh and if you are really in a declutter mood I have some closets that need major help 🙂
I tried your site earlier – I was wondering what had happened. I’ll definitely check back later!
I’m back up come visit!

It’s the Red Apple Farm in Philipston. Friends told us about it years ago and we’ve been going ever since!
Thanks! Sounds awesome!

Never had a cider doughnut?!? Those words do not compute 😉
I love me some good de-cluttering! I’ve been reclaiming my kitchen counters lately; I hope to tackle the closet of doom later this month. Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!! Hope you can find a fun way to celebrate 🙂

Thanks Kate!
Hi Michelle, thanks for having coffee with us. I LOVE this time of year. We have “crush” season in the wine country and the vineyards smell wonderful. Although California is in dire need of rain and water, it is really bad. We are not green and pretty like normal this time of year. We have no good news in the near future either, temps up to high 90’s and very dry. I can only imagine how beautiful your area is. We are celebrating our 18 year wedding anniversary next month. Don’t we end of spending our special days usually doing something with the kids or at their sports events? Yep 🙂
