Fall Bucket List: Blogtober Day 5!

Well, isn't this just the most precious topic for today! Why, you ask? Because as I sit at my desk talking fall, IT IS 61 DEGREES RIGHT NOW! In Florida!! Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially hit a cold streak!!!! Whoo! Can you tell us Floridians don't get out of the house much without sweating our faces off? It is dreamy and I hope it never ends.

Now, on to the discussion at hand: fall bucket list! I aim to keep it simple this season and take in the beauty of everything fall. I've already organized my scarves and boots, watched Hocus Pocus 4 times, and baking is like breathing to me so it's definitely amped up through this season. Our house is already decked out in our Halloween finest and I seem to have a knack for always finding something more to add in. As for the activities to still accomplish, let's talk.

Things still to do in fall:
1. Open all the windows in the house and sit with my beloved chamomile tea for hours watching the world go by. No tech stuff, no tv on, just me and the world on a date
2. Watch Remember the Titans approximately 7 times
3. Invest in my first cup of white hot chocolate; sorry Pumpkin Spice lovers, ick!
4. Make s'mores with Reese cups instead of Hersey bars
5. Paint/carve pumpkins

There we have it. This is my Fall Bucket List of items to get accomplished. I shall start with number one while the getting is good. Happy Fall y'all!

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time.  To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now!  #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game. It’s funny looking back, I never realized in 7th grade block classes, it would begi

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w
