Hello September

There is a line in You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan that he would love to send her a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils to commemorate the start of fall. I love that.

September brings crisp school supplies, pumpkin spice lattes and the comfort of routine. It shakes us out of the lull of summer and gives us fresh purpose. Boy oh boy does this mama have fresh purpose this September...we have taken a new route in the kid's education and I am homeschooling them three days a week...more on that later, but for now a wrap up of our beautiful summer.

It started with a girl's trip to the river, just grandma, my girls and myself.

Well my fresh purpose is calling me, a history lesson to be taught and maybe a possible "field trip" to the beach later. Summer was good, but fall is my favorite.
