Tis the season to be jolly … well, at least in theory, right? The month of December and all of the festive fun that accompanies it may just be my favorite time of the year. My youngest was born in December too so it is...

My favorite season of the year is here and once again, despite my vow to not overextend my schedule too much, I have once again done just that. Do you feel this way too? I feel like I work more and play less — and my down time is spent recharging my batteries rather than enjoying the fun activities of the season!As much as I know that having these commitments is a true blessing, I wish I had more time — and energy — to spend with the loved ones I am working so hard to provide for. Sound familiar?

While we are embarking on my favorite series of seasons and the beloved (or dreaded, depending on your perspective) “Hallowthankmas” series of holidays, September and the months that follow certainly tend to derail any of my summer-accumulated simple living ethos. I have the luxury of being able to be home during the summer and that gives me a once-a-year opportunity to really declutter and organize my home.

Is it just me or do the summer months fly by way too fast? Summer is my absolute favorite time of year but the old adage “time flies when you’re having fun” holds true in a big way. While the days will start getting shorter and the evenings will begin to have that familiar crisp air reminding us that fall is right around the corner, there is still plenty of summer fun left to enjoy.

Sweet, sweet summertime is here! It is my favorite non-holiday time of the year for so many reasons — a slower change of pace, longer days, vacations and an abundance of fun activities to do throughout the season. In recent years, I have found it to be busier than ever — in other words, the exact opposite of a recharge and refresh.

Many of us consider insects as something to be feared, an annoyance to be swatted or a germ-carrier to be stomped on. Maybe it’s time to reconsider. Many children are afraid of bees, most of which can’t or won’t sting unless...

Ahh, sweet summer time. We are finally entering what might just be my favorite season of all — summer time!I love the longer days, the flip-flops and the many visits to the pool and ice cream stand that my family gets to make each summer season. What I love even more is the way that our family and overall schedule tends to slow down and enjoy more quality time together — time that is simply not possible during the chaotic back to school, holiday or winter and spring sports seasons.

This time of year tends to render me slightly nostalgic as the spring weather begins to remind me of that day in March, four years ago, when the world seemed to change in an instant. We stayed home from school and work, wore masks and watched the news anxiously for updates about a worldwide pandemic that stopped us in our tracks. I still have my 2020 planner — spring is notoriously busy for me and I remember wondering just how I would get all of the things I had planned done that year.
