Some things only happen once a year – some seasonal ideas that you can take advantage of with your family or loved ones!
I went to a corn maze again this year. It was a significantly better experience than last year. When you’re going through a corn maze, you are usually given a small printed map of the maze to help you find your way around. It’s incredibly helpful – if you know how to read it.… Read More Life lessons I learned while lost in a corn maze
Well, summer is definitely winding down. Nearly all the schools have started back, and the first official day of autumn is just a few weeks away. While I will miss the lazy afternoons spent by the pool, I’m not too heartbroken, since fall is far and above my favorite season of the year.
I like the idea of a bucket list. Always have. I love the thought of having these big dreams and goals, the excitement that comes with finally getting to check one of them off of your list.

Valentine’s day is coming up, and I’ve been thinking about gifts I’ve given or received in the past from significant others.
Christmas and New Year’s are now several weeks’ removed, and it’s given me some time to reflect.
