Happy Monday friends! If you have today off – I’m slightly jealous, if you’re at work today – hope that coffee is delicious!!
This weekend we took in all the Fall things and enjoyed a ton of down time!
Had the most relaxing Friday evening – the rainy weather helped the cozy feel inside! This weekend I became a fan of red wine – seriously where have I been? Also discovered olive and fig crackers from Trader Joe’s with sharp cheddar cheese-it’s amazing!
Saturday we hit the road early and made our way to Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton, MA.
We started with a little apple picking – $15 for 1/2 a peck not a bad deal considering what we pay in the grocery store for a bag of 4 apples! Clearly tried to match my lipstick to the apples!
I also pre-ordered our lunches from their restaurant so that they were ready when we wanted to eat! We were able to eat outside and take in all the beauty of the valley – including a couple getting married!
You honestly can’t go to Nashoba and not take time to do a tasting. This is our third time visiting so we opted to skip the tour and just focus on all the delicious wine!! For $8/PP you get 5 drink tickets to taste test 5 different wines. It’s a great deal! Bonus, you get to keep the wine glasses – so yes that means we have 6 wine glasses now!
Right up the road is Bolton Orchards – they have a cute little country store with all the pumpkins you can want and then across the road is their apple picking orchard with pumpkin patch. You take an actual tractor ride to the pumpkin patch – really soak in the experience!
Since we don’t go that way too often – we asked Siri what was around us and she pointed us toWachusett Reservoir. I can’t even describe the beauty leading up to the reservoir and then once you actually climb all the stairs (if you follow me on snapchat you saw that monster we climbed @blovedboston) you see what’s on the other side!
Sunday was reserved for Boston – SoWa market was still open so we started some of our Christmas shopping…yep starting in October and had the most incredible pizza from Stocked Wood Fired Pizza!
I have a serious love affair with the South End – how could you not with a street as perfect as this?
We also needed something to do with all those apples so I tried my hand at this easyapple crisp recipeand it didn’t disappoint! Looks mushy but it was so tasty!
Before the weekend was up I was able to pick up a few things – since you know sales and everything! Can’t wait to try out this new foundation – I’ve heard really great things! Before I knew what was happening – we are back to Monday!! Hope you’ll link up below to share your weekend’s with us!

Umm I didn't know anyone would be off today so totally jealous of them as well! And you had such a fun fall weekend! It looked like the most gorgeous weather up there too! That street is gorgeous. Jealous of the pretty changing leaves we don't get down here! Happy Monday love! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
That pizza looks amazing!! And that quote is a great reminder. :)) Happy Monday!!
The perfect FALL weekend!! Look how cute you look at the winery and picking dem apples!!!!! So glad it was glorious, you deserve it you glorious gal!!!
This is the perfect fall weekend in my book. That street is gorgeous and someplace you want to just walk down and admire the beauty. I miss orchards in NY. We had one we would go and do tastings, picking, eating and relish in the beauty of the land around us. It was the best weekend outing. Here in NC, they are not the same as New England orchards. Enjoy those fresh picked apples.
Gorgeous pictures! Looks like a fabulous fall weekend! I started liking red wine a few years ago and now it is my FAVORITE, especially when it is cooler outside. Boston just looks so gorgeous…I am trying to convince my bf we need to go there asap. Have a great Monday!
What a fun, perfectly fall weekend! That winery looks so beautiful!
Seriously a perfect fall weekend! You have me sold on Nashoba I will definitely be looking into going there. Also that pizza on Sunday looks amazing! Happy Monday, I'll be at work too
What a fabulous weekend! Boston looks so fall! Love the apple crisp, such a favorite of mine 😊
You have the most exciting weekends!! And you two look so cute together!!

So many fun fall things!!! I've never been apple picking but it looks like so much fun, and so festive! You look beautiful, as always. Looks like such a fun Fall weekend!
Hey you have half a set of wine glasses, that's pretty good to me! Love all your cute adventures!

We have a winery somewhere in California that my family owns. It's called Groth Vinyards and they go ALL the time for wine tasting. I am so jealous! Even though I'm not a wine drinker, there is still some wines that taste exactly like koolaid!
So Pretty! Visiting New England in the Autumn is firmly on my bucket list.

Ooooooh we've burner been to Nashoba for Apple picking! Looks beautiful! Siri for the win!
I saw your snaps on the houses in the South End, yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha
Happy Monday!
What a great looking weekend! I can't believe that you have already started Xmas shopping- I need to get some ideas brewing!
The perfect fall weekend! I love apple picking and those doughnuts look delicious too!
What a perfect fall weekend!! I'm pretty much just now getting in the fall spirit and can't wait to do all the fall things! We have a wood fired pizza truck in our town and it is seriously one of my favorite things to eat – your's looks unbelievable!! Happy Monday, girl!
That winery looks gorgeous. I love that you can pick apples and then do a wine tour. Totally worth making the trip there. Glad it was a good weekend. I am with you on the working today, bring on the coffee.
Saturday looks like the most amazing day ever! Talk about a beautiful winery, but also all of those fun fall activities like picking apples! And major props to you for getting started on Christmas shopping now! I know I'll be scrambling to get everything bought come December.
Your snaps were so cute this weekend. Loved the one of you on the tractor with Gary. That picture of the South End is stunning. I miss New England in the Fall when I see pictures like this!
What a nice weekend you had! Nashoba looks beautiful! I wish I lived closer, I'd have to visit it soon!
Omg what a fun weekend! I'm so jealous of all your fall activities! While we're still roasting down here! The trees already look gorgeous up there and that Apple crisp looks amazing! Yum!

What a beautiful sunshine weekend, perfect for going to a farm. Fantastic photos too.
So many gorgeous pics! We were totally twinning this weekend from the Trader Joe's deliciousness on Friday to all the fall fun and wine tasting on Saturday. Except I didn't have homemade apple crisp on Sunday 😉
Cheers to a fabulous week gurlie <3

I'm so jealous of YOUR weekend!! Fall perfection!
Ok this looks like the absolute perfect weekend! Going apple/pumpkin picking is still on our to-do list! Are those apple cider doughnuts? Those are my fave!

What an amazing perfect fall weekend! I've never been Apple picking (except from the apple tree in my grandma's backyard but I'm sure that doesn't count). If you have extra apples make some fried apples w your breakfast – it's so good! Trish – tales from trish
That pizza looks amazing!!! Same with the apple crisp… I've always wondered what a peck is. I think you just answered that for me!
what a great weekend!! apple picking and pumpkin patches = true fall things. and your lipstick def matched the apples – love! you two are the cutest 🙂 yay for red wine too! 🙂 happy monday love!
xoxo cheshire kat
How fun! We don't have a lot of apple picking options around here 🙁 love that you can have lunch, wine, and just spend the day!

Oh my gosh, I am so excited for my sister-in-law to get married at Nashoba!! It looks sooo pretty. I definitely want to check it out this time of year, too 🙂 Sounds like a great weekend and now I'm craving some cheese and crackers!
Fall in Boston is everything. Josh is literally job searching there everyday because he wants to be back home 🙂 Where is the winery? It looks so fun and the perfect destination for a girls' weekend! And those crackers are SOOO good!!
Amazing pictures. Sounds like you had great time.

That view is gorgeous & that pizza made my eyes light up haha. I want to do all things fall! When it's 75 before 9 am though I don't feel very autumn-y. I hope you have a great week.
Ahhh, this looks like SUCH a great weekend!!! I'd love to go apple picking, but let's be honest – mainly for those donuts, LOL!!!
So cute! I love your sweatshirt!

Uhm such a perfect weekend! I'm totally jealous. And really…does ANYONE get off for Columbus day? If so, direct me to that profession because a 3 day weekend really would have been ideal haha
I love love love fall! The trees look so beautiful! I'm headed to work and am definitely enjoying my coffee. I feel like nobody has today off on the West Coast. Have a great day!
Love how relaxing your Friday was – I’m hoping for one of those nights soon! Apple picking looks like such fun – the weather looked great and the fact that you could preorder the lunches sounds fantastic! Wine tasting and pumpkin picking too – you guys got it all in!
What a PERFECT Fall weekend!! I am seriously dyyyyyying to experience Boston in the Fall! So glad I can live vicariously through you!
Fall in your neck of the woods looks amazing — those apple picking shots are so fun! And starting this post off with wine & cheese was dangerous, lol! It's too early now, but I know what I'm doing when I get home!

That quote – I need to hang it somewhere I can see… when I stop for 5 minutes 🙁 sigh
Your lipstick totally matches – I thought that first thing 🙂
I live just a few miles down from a orchard/winery that has all the fun stuff like that… it has the best fruits & veggies during summer too… I need to go pick up a basket of apples now. Adding that to my to-do list this weekend.
Fall just isn't complete without apple picking and cider donuts! I am at work today, enjoying my coffee 🙂 Glad you had a great relaxing weekend!

Wow, looks like you had the epitome of a fall weekend! Glad you decided to jump on the red wine bandwagon, I always drink a dry red anymore… Glad you had such a fun weekend! Looks perfect!
This looks like the perfect fall weekend! I love TJ's cheese! And I love that you guys went apple picking and went to a pumpkin patch! That apple crisp looks delish!
Well you guys just had the most perfect fall weekend ever! haha I've never been to an orchard, clearly that needs to change. These photos are stunning! Loving that lip color on you!
I agree with everyone else…this was the perfect fall weekend! That winery looks amazing. I want to go to Wachusett Reservoir someday! So pretty! Have a great week!
How beautiful!!! You look amazing and the scenery is exquisite! I love your appreciation for quaint and warm things. That street IS beyond charming!

Looks like a falltastic weekend!!!!! I recently discovered that I like red wine now too. I am just picky about what kind! I want to try that too faced foundation so bad. It is on my list for when my current runs out. What are your thoughts???
Sounds like a perfect weekend of fall activiites! I still really need to have one of those!!

Love all the photos of you apple picking! The top you're wearing is so pretty! We apple picked for the first time yesterday, and it was so fun! Loved trying the apple cider doughnuts, too. 🙂
Perfect New England fall weekend. Fellow New England blogger and new follower. Thanks for the opportunity to link up. 🙂 Cheers!
What gorgeous weather you had and all the fun fall activities! Your Saturday adventures sound amazing. I've never been apple picking before and of course wineries are always a fun time. I might just need to get over to TJ's to try out your cheese and crackers recommendation.
What a perfect fall weekend!! You've inspired me to make apple crisp with the apples we picked up yesterday – it looks so good! And good for you guys on starting early on Christmas shopping!!
Apple-colored lipstick for the win! Well done, even if it wasn't intentional. haha.
Great pics. I also love that wine and cheese pic.
I am off today. In fact, at 12:22 p.m., I am still in pajamas and all I've done is made breakfast and read and commented on blogs. perfect day.
How fun! Fall weekends and outings are the best!

It seriously looks like you had the best more fall forward weekend ever. I love that the vineyard you went to has an apple orchard as well – you def kill 2 birds with one stone there!

What a lovely fall weekend, I need to get myself to an apple orchard this year!
Oh girl, red wine is where it's at!! I'm a merlot and cab girl, but there are times when I wished I liked white wines. One of my New Years resolutions next year is going to be to find a white that I LOOOOVE.
Girl I do NOT know where you've been on the red wine/crackers/cheese thing, but I absolutely cannot wait to enjoy all that again! And your apple orchard pics are so cute – wish we had orchards down here! I have so many fun memories doing that as a kiddo 🙂
so jealous of anyone who has today off lol. how cute are you all at the apple orchard? looks so fun – though you might have to help me out, what is a peck?! i love that you get to keep the glasses from the tasting. that apple crisp looks ahhhhmazing. and so does that street. but i wouldn't want to park there, oy! that would suck lol. following you on snapchat now (i think lol)!
So fun–I've always wanted to go apple picking! For a minute, I thought your fig crackers were chocolate chip cookies. That's where my mind is at 🙂
It seriously seems like this was the most magical and perfect fall weekend everywhere. We did the pumpkin picking and winery thing too 🙂 have a great week!
This looks like the perfect Fall weekend! I'm looking forward to taking our kids to a pumpkin patch this coming weekend. 🙂

The South End looks so pretty and picturesque! Olive & fig crackers with cheddar cheese…sign me up!!! Those donuts look delicious, what a perfect weekend you had with beautiful weather!!

Wishes & Reality
Oh man, I am super jealous of everyone who had the day off today! Love all of the fall things you did, so fun!! I wish we had apple picking around here somewhere, I got to do it in NY once and it was so fun!
That pizza looks delicious! Seems like you had an amazing weekend♥♥

Oh my gosh, I can't believe you haven't been a fan of red wine until this weekend! It's my absolute FAVORITE. I'll drink it all year long, but I'll switch to white in the summer when it's hot as you-know-what in Texas. 😉 And I love Christmas shopping early, too! Totally takes the stress out of the holidays. 🙂
So jealous of your donuts! Nothing better than when they're fresh like that!!!!! And your apple crisp looks DELICIOUS! I don't think it looks mushy! Apple crisp is supposed to be like that!
I think almost everyone said it but really, perfect fall weekend. Wine and cheese sound amazing right now. And apple picking is seriously so much fun.
Yay for a fun weekend!!! I love Trader Joe's!! good to know the fig crackers are delish with the cheddar!! Looks like an amazing weekend filled with everything fall 🙂 You'll have to let me know if you like your new foundation!
xo, Candace | Lovely Little Rants
What a great weekend! All your food looks yummy and I'm so jealous of your apple picking. Love your Monday inspiration. I can't wait to hear about the foundation, too! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
Wow, you had an absolutely perfect weekend doing fall activities! We moved from DC to Austin in January, and you have me really wishing we could do a fall weekend escape back up to the East Coast for some apple cider donuts, crunchy leaves, and just cool weather in general…. We had a high of 98 degrees here in Austin today! ugh!!
Love all of your fabulous fall photos! That pic of the South End is everything!
Looks like a fab fall weekend!
What a gorgeous weekend! I love the apple&lipstick matching and the South End totally makes me want to book a flight to Boston rightthissecond.
SO much (Fall) fun here!!! (lovin' those gold acorns too!)
Looks like a great fall weekend! The picture of the street in Boston is the perfect fall scene.
That cheese + crackers plate, can I have it please?! 🙂 Looks like you had one heck of a fun fall weekend, friend! xo
The scenery is beautiful! Looks like a really fun time!
