The 1st of September always feels like a fresh start to me. The air is so brisk and clean smelling in the mornings, the colors are changing around us turning into the most beautiful natural colors ever created, and we can say farewell to another blissful and very VERY busy Summer. This morning driving home from my early workout, I watched as the children walked to school or to the bus stop with their shiny new shoes and stuffed back packs, and I realized, fall is really here! yes its still 85 degrees some days, but it’s here!
I’m so looking forward to going through all the seasonal experiences that come with fall and winter with Ellie again and with Sophia the first time. All the baking and smelling of sweet treats, the music, the togetherness, the decorations, the world outside… Moat all of the best and sweetest memories from my childhood and all growing up on to my courtship happened when the air was chilly and the world was quiet. Hopefully my excitement will rub off on the girlies:) And so, with a fresh new season, comes fresh new goals!
