With Apologies To Summer...And Some Winners!


August is here! And you know what that means? Yep! Fall is not too far behind! So, with apologies to summer, and all who love it, I present some of the reasons fall is my fave...


Homeschool starts again!

This. Just this.

I'll let you know.
Because...


And this.
Amen.


Cannot. Wait. For this...

And this...

And this.

They are coming, my friends...The three most lovely months of the year...




Ok. I'll stop now.

I suppose I should be kind to August too.
I mean, she is kind of like Christmas Eve.
Beautiful and fun...
The night before the best day ever.
So...


And...
We chose the winners of the 5th Anniversary Giveaway!
First up...

  9. I will substitute August for November (Iowa November is typically dreary and wet and sometimes it even snows!) and then this is just perfection. My friend brought us some pumpkin bread last week... I am ready for pumpkin too. But first, Disney. Once I am back though... bring it on!
