Hey loves. Happy Thursday. Its Time for Monthly Musings for August Musing with Patty and Holly.
First Day of School- Four Things
Hey loves. Are your kids back to school already? We officially started yesterday. I love getting back into a routine and schedules. I didn't expect the emotional roller coaster I had yesterday. I didn't expect it with my kids attending the same schools, they all went to school full day last year, not much has changed. The reality is that this was my first summer working, I didn't check everything off our bucket list, etc. The morning didn't go 100% as planned. I know I am not alone.
Coffee Chat
Hey loves. It's the end of August, where has the year gone. Today is my kids first day of school. There was some excitement and some nerves leading up to it. I pray for a successful year, new friends, and lots of fun.
I love taking the time and talking about random things that I would discuss with my girlfriend over coffee or wine or water this morning. A totally random post. But I love reading others randomness too. Grab a coffee, tea, or wine and lets chat. Today Starbucks releases all things pumpkin!!!! I am sure I will grab one later today.

Hey loves. It's Friday. The last week of summer break is coming to an end. My kids go back to school next week. I am ready for it but sad at the same time. We have had a great summer that went way too quick. It also feels like fall outside. Rainy, chilly, dreary, and the ac is off. Not how summer is suppose to be ending.

Hey loves. Happy Monday. We are home from vacation, it is back to reality, back to routines while enjoying our last two weeks of summer. I need to do a full kitchen inventory, organize our calendars, and start getting these kids into a school routine. When I made my menu for this week I didn't look at the calendar for schedules or the weather I went with what sounded good. Soon enough it will be comfort food, pasta nights, crockpot meals, and football Sunday. Let's see what we are eating this week:
