I love this season because we will finally have pumpkins back in supermarkets! And the cooler weather means walks in the parks and pretty soon the farmer’s markets will be open for business.

Amazing ideas! I think it’s really important for families to be creative and to always find ways to be with each other.
Just recently my sisters and I went on a trip to Vietnam. It’s fun. Family first. I believe in that.

I do love summer and I’m usually a little sad to see it go, but there’s so much to love about fall! I love to see the leaves change, wearing more of my scarf collection, apple picking! Pumpkin bread! Thanks for the reminder of all the wonderful things right around the corner!
