Happy Weekend!
Things on our agenda: market trip, flu shot (did you get yours yet?), archery opener, little league games, cooking, and cleaning.
We’ve really been trying to make the most of the weather lately with walks to a nearby campus. There are lots of acorns, squirrels, and groundhogs to discover, fields and bases to run. Until yesterday when baseball returned, and my son found out he couldn’t just join the game with the big kids. Oh boy.
For your weekend planning:
- Consider donating blood (look for drives near you; there are a handful listed below)
- Treat yourself to these artisan chocolates. Pair it with the ultimate fall cocktail.
- Plan an adventure on an electric bicycle.
- Split a Wine Tasting Flight with some trusted friends.
- Das boot time: scope local Oktoberfest celebrations below.
- See what else you missed on the blog.
Below are ample options for your weekend, whether you’re laying low (there is no shame in the stay home game!) or venturing out.
Oh hey, are you on the email list? In addition to getting this weekly update loaded with things to do each weekend directly in your inbox, I load it with a bunch of other fresh, original content. Sign-up here. I also recommend following me on IG.
