Well meant schedules and Caramel apples...

Can you feel it? Fall is slowly creeping up on us like a ghost in the night. I love it. Nothing makes me feel more alive than the cooler days and the beautiful colors en robing the trees before they sleep. The geese honking across the sky towards the south for winter. Hot cocoa and pumpkins. How can you not feel alive?

My daughter is starting first grade on Monday. Another sign of fall. She is excited. I should be too because it saves me a lot of money on summer camp fees! I decided that this year I will try something a little different. This year, I made a schedule. An honest to goodness schedule. It lists everything from wake up, work, free time etc. I even went a step further and started planning all of the meals for the week on Friday night and shopping on Saturday. No more daily trips to the grocery store. I figure it will help save money and time. In particular, MY time. I feel like I'm starting a new school year. Of course, when I was a kid I always started the year gun ho and ready to get my act together only to fizzle out less than half-way through the year. So we shall see!

I listed my Autumn Magic Soap on artfire today. I also poured a whole bunch of caramel apple soy tarts. Did I mention that fall is my favorite time of year??
