I am late to recapping our weekend fun in part because there was so much of it and also because October has brought the return of admissions essay season. (I’m an editor in real life.) I love getting to read the creative essays high schoolers write and help their ideas shine. And I’m enjoying the
Another month has gone by. Did it bring cooler temperatures? No. Did I have more fun in September than I did in August? Also no. But did I learn from this? Time will tell. While I try to focus on the highlights for my weekend fun recaps, several weekends this September were kind of a
How was your weekend? Mine was full of reminders that I’m getting old, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully I’m still learning and growing as I age. My husband took over pizza duty Saturday night because I wasn’t feeling great. He knocked it out of the park by turning the oven’s convection function
It’s officially fall! (Someone tell my weather app.) I really enjoyed having a summer fun list. It helped me keep having fun top of mind in a season that is not my favorite. While I enjoy fall much more than summer, cooler weather alone isn’t enough to constitute fun. So I’m creating a fall fun

I will not buy a new planner in September. I will not buy a new planner in September. I will not buy a new planner in September. But maybe you will? I’m not sure what it is about getting a new planner that feels so fun to me. Maybe it’s because, as an Enneagram One,
It’s fall, y’all. Or at least football season. Here in the South, temps don’t really start to drop until October—and sometimes not even then. But I firmly believe that if we build it, it will come. I’ve already moved into my Fall Playbook from the Lazy Genius. And I’m ready to start making more changes
As an Enneagram One learning to have fun, I’ve got a long way to go. I snap at my kids way too often. My to-do list tends to be the most important thing in my life. I think updating my budget spreadsheet is a good time. (Like what you like, people.) But I have been
