Welcome, Autumn! A new season calls for a little life update as we transition into sweater weather and can finally enjoy pumpkin spice without the judgmental attitudes. Growing up, summer was my vibe. I could spend all day outside, I enjoyed the heat and the sunshine and, of course, the break from school. Now, I find …

My recent circumstances caused my regularly scheduled posts to be postponed for a bit. Friday I was supposed to be sharing the results of m recent trip to the salon, but that appointment had to be rescheduled due to 2/3 of my kids falling ill with a nasty cold that kept them down for several days.

My children are having their school pictures taken today and I was reminded of how important picture day was growing up.

Since I'm still feeling fine from hitting level 34 last week, I thought it would be fun to answer the quiz again and see …

This week my hubby took me to a few of my favorite stores to stock up on planner accessories to finish off my birthday week. I usually like to prep my planner for the week ahead on the weekend. Although I've already celebrated wi…
