Ready for this?

 

 

Fall? Fleece jacket weather? I spent the weekend with the kids at a church retreat in the mountains. Definitely not cold, but definitely chilly enough at night for a fire, a fleece, and s'mores!! I have to admit that it was quite lovely. I do love summer, but fall weather is pretty fantastic in The Queen City, so I'm definitely ready for it to move on in.

 

Happy back to school to lots of you this week. One more week to go preschool moms (2 more if you're one of the lucky duckies whose school is delayed for the DNC...ugh!!!). Hope everyone has a great week!!

 

Blessings,
