September is here and I couldn’t be more excited! I love it when the days get just a little bit shorter, the weather gets slightly cooler, and the leaves begin to change their color. Soon we’ll be enjoying sweater weather, making candy apples, and watching football games on the weekends! Before we know it winter…
Is it August already? Does this mean summer is almost over?! Nooooo! I love summer so much and will be so sad to see it go. The only positive, in my opinion, is that the end of summer brings the beginning of fall, and fall is my favorite season of all! If you’re getting ready…
Fire up the grill, slice some watermelon, and get the fireworks ready – July is here! I love this month for all the patriotic festivities, food, and time spent with family and friends. Of course, we make our favorite Southwestern Couscous Salad all summer long, and these S’mores Brownies are made (and devoured) on the…
Summertime is so close we can almost taste it! Seriously, with watermelons now being available, BBQs getting fired up, and lemonade calling my name it is literally starting to taste like summer…finally!

May is such a beautiful month with all the trees and flowers in bloom, the sunshine and warm (but not too hot!) weather, and even the occasional rainshower, of which I am personally a huge fan. I’ve always loved watching and listening to a good rainstorm! It also marks the beginning of the end of…
Spring is just around the corner, though in some places still getting a lot of snow it may not seem much like it! :/ Here’s hoping we all get some much-anticipated spring weather soon so we can enjoy the sunshine, outdoors, and blossoming plants and flowers! Almost just as anticipated as some lovely springtime weather…
February is such a lovely month, and also one that can become very full very quickly! While Valentine’s Day is no doubt a focus on the calendar, we still have appointments, practices, special events, meal planning, and vacations to plan too! With fewer days this month to fit everything in it is super important to…
A brand new year is one of my favorite opportunities to reflect on the past and evaluate where I am in life, what I want to accomplish, and how I can improve. Of course, there are many such opportunities: a new day/week/month/quarter, moving to a new house, starting a new job, the beginning of a…
We made it through Thanksgiving thanks to hard work, preparation, lots of free printable Thanksgiving activities for kids, and Thanksgiving crafts! Thanksgiving always kicks off the start of the busiest season of the year. Now that it’s over we can take a short breather before diving into all the fun, food, and memory-making that make…
If the leaves are turning color and falling to the ground in your neck of the woods then you know that the busiest time of the year is right around the corner! Once November arrives we are headed into the thick of the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas right on our heels. Procrastination is…
The leaves are changing color, the weather is turning cooler, and I find myself flipping through my cookbook to find my favorite soup, stew, and chowder recipes. It must be fall! Of course, October also brings Halloween fun! And since I know you love free printables, I want to point you in the direction of…
Is it September already?! My, how the summer just flew by! Though I am excited because fall is my favorite season – I love the cooler weather, the colors of the leaves, football season, and the need for sweaters, warm soups, and hot chocolate. Ooh, my heart is so happy just thinking about it! It’s…
The month of August can be one of the most dreaded yet looked-forward-to months of the year. Dreaded because it means summer vacation is almost over – lazy days spent swimming in the pool, blowing bubbles at the park, and eating watermelon every single day are just about at an end…but for good reason! School…
