A month ago I started two new things. One was this blog. And I am really loving it so far. The other was a bullet journal. If you don’t know much about them, take a peek at Pinterest or Instagram. Or go to http://bulletjournal.com/ where it all started. It is a planner, a journal, and a notebook all in one that you create in your own way, for your own use.

Here Comes Fall, Well, Maybe not in California
The first day of autumn is just around the corner. I am so excited! I love this season more as an adult that I ever did as a child. It was probably the back-to-school thing that I didn’t appreciate. I lived for summer vacation. But now, I love the cooler weather, the comfort food, and the changing colors. Apple harvests, pumpkin treats, reminders of what we are thankful for…How could I not love fall? When I was younger, I thought that the leaves changing and dying was really sad.
