Phew! That was a long and hot summer break. I had ambitious editorial expectations for myself this summer and I now know to expect less of myself in the summer months when the girlie is home with me and the heat makes it nearly impossible to set into motion.
We delivered the girl (now eight!) to her first day as a third-grader this morning with little hiccup. I’m looking forward to getting back into my “fall” groove of meal-planning, cooking, craft work and writing. Lunches will consist of leftovers from the previous day’s dinner for the most part.
