Flowers aren’t my only love—of course there’s my husband and my children, then right up there, are puppies! And so, we are beyond excited to pick up our newest foster pup this weekend.

Come Fall, my skin shrivels up and itches seemingly non-stop, until I remember my annual regime: homemade sugar scrub + post-shower Trader Joe’s body butter.

Picking the Great Pumpkin from the patch, hauling it home, and carving with your kids. It can be fun. Promise.

Temperatures finally dip below 60 degrees, and I find myself in overalls heading to the orchards. It’s practically a reflex.

Autumn is my favorite season (that is until winter, spring or summer come ‘round—oh, I do love ‘em all). After several months of blistering heat, I cannot wait to layer up.
