I hope you all had a hauntingly happy Halloween! Between parties, costume parades, and all the trick-or-treating fun, I am glad Halloween landed on a Friday this year and we have the weekend to recover! Though I must confess, as fun as Halloween is, my mind these past couple of weeks has been drifting towards Thanksgiving…
October is my favorite month. I echo Anne Shirley’s sentiment: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” I love the way the weather cools off and the leaves change color. I can’t wait to pull out all my cozy sweaters and blankets. Soups with bread are my most loved dinners….
Labor Day officially marks the end of summer in my books. I do love summer for its endless sunshine, lazy schedules, and delicious food (BBQ and ice cream are on repeat at my house through the summer months), but as fun as it was, I am not sad to say goodbye to summer. I welcome…
If you begin your school year in August, we know you’re hurriedly trying to not only wrap up all the summer fun, but also get everyone ready for the beginning of school — which is no small task! Whether you are a parent or a teacher, the back-to-school season is one of the busiest times…
Happy July! We’re halfway through summer break (gasp!) and there is SO much left to do. We had our kids fill out their Summer Bucket Lists, and while we’ve been trying really hard to get as many checked off as possible, there are still many more to go. Not to stress ourselves out – if…
The end of school is always so busy, as any teacher or parent knows. June, therefore, comes as a much-needed break after a whirlwind school year. It is important to note, however, that while June is perhaps less structured than when school is in session, that doesn’t necessarily make it less “busy.” Now, the children…
May is my favorite spring month for so many reasons: the weather is gorgeous and despite my seasonal allergies I love all the flowers and green grass outside. It is also the month when the school year gets wrapped up and I love the transition from school time into summertime…it’s a nice break from the…
April is a good month. I am so ready to see green sprouting up everywhere–in the grass and on the trees…ooh, it gets me so excited for garden season! It also means that the weather will only be getting nicer from here on out and summer is just around the corner. It means more time…
Thank you for your patience! I’m a few days late getting this March 2025 calendar posted. My sincerest apologies. Sometimes the internet, programs, and just electronics in general can wreak havoc on our plans. But everything is working again and I’m happy to finally present to you our March 2025 Calendar Freebie! I love March…
Ah, February…what a lovely month! In this time of year when the weather may yet be freezing cold, we are all still able to warm each other’s hearts with gifts and notes of love and appreciation. I still love using these Free Printable Valentine’s Day Cards for my kids to share with their friends at…
It’s a brand new year! 2025 will be the best one yet. I just know it. I have big goals and hopes and dreams for this year and I don’t want it to pass me by. Part of my idea to be able to fit it all in is to organize, plan out, and simplify…
This is it, everyone! The grand finale to 2024! We’ve hit the homestretch. Halloween and Thanksgiving were fun and great but are a thing of the past now and we have one more month to go. It is, of course, my favorite month albeit the most exhausting! I absolutely love Christmas and try to make…
As I look out my window and see all the beautifully-colored leaves landing on the grass I am reminded that 1. I need to rake my leaves, and 2. Autumn is definitely upon us and it is time to gear up for the next two months! Between Thanksgiving and Christmas–the two biggest holidays of my…
