I tried, January and February, I really did. I tried to like you. I tried to embrace you. I am sorry. I am ready to say goodbye. And darn you, February, going and adding one more day to yourself this year (Happy Birthday, Leap Year Babies). I know that gratitude is the key to happiness… […]
Do you ever wonder what others are doing at this very moment? As you unload the dishwasher, do you catch yourself asking what your brother or best friend is doing? I do. In the business of this life we live, we tend to be good about sharing our major events or celebrations. Yet, I know […]

One of my favorite months is September. I love its promise of fall and cozy days. This year, September 1st felt nothing like autumn. In fact, it was close to 90 degrees, and we felt like racing right back to the summer swimming pool. Harper and I decided that we would let the calendar inspire […]
So here we are at the unofficial end of summer. Goodbye, August. Hello September. Please bring autumnal weather! I’m ready for you. To be truthful, I am always joyful when the calendar turns over and I get to write “September 1.” I can’t help but dream of apples and pumpkins and boots and scarves. The […]
