As the school year approaches, I am left feeling unaccomplished this summer.
This summer has F-L-O-W-N by….
I have kept minimal house…and I mean minimal…
I’ve barely cooked a decent meal 3 nights in a row.
So, I am taking this long weekend…this glorious last-chance opportunity,
to get my act TOGETHER….reclaim a sense of routine & normalcy that has been so lacking these last few months.
I will be back on Tuesday, raring to go and hopefully,
a bag or two of stuffed animals and clothes donations lighter, a happily fed family and organized to take on a new high-school year!
One can only dream…









I'm Kelly and so glad you are here! I'm a mom and I blog, but there is so much more than meets the eye:I am a freelance writer, blogger and photographer, foodie through and through, coffee hound, wine enthusiast, retired speedskater turned marathon runner and social media maven.






Oh, my garage is filling with the purging …. it does make you feel better.
I cannot wait!! I know I will feel so much better when I get this done!
“Raring to go” is good.
“Patience with yourself” is even better.
Enjoy your long weekend and fresh start.
I could use one, too.
Yes, need to remember to focus on the patience!
I did accomplish a lot…not all I set out to…but enough to feel productive!
What a picture. Just gorgeous.
Oh, thank you! The butterfly was a camera hog…it hung around for a few pictures!
