Where Have I Been?

I love fall. It is hands down my favorite season. I love the changing leaves; that cool crisp feeling in the air, as I drink my morning coffee in the warmth of the sun; the first day of school, the start of the kids activities and just the genuine newness of what the season brings.

Unlike most who make their resolutions for the new year, I make mine in September. I vow to get more organized; maintain a better schedule; stay on the kids about their homework and projects; help them set their priorities; set and stick to stricter bedtimes rules; help out more with the PTO and Girl Scouts and the list goes on.

As much as I love summer and the lazy days that it brings, I also welcome autumn with all the gusto it brings. It's not that I haven't found time to blog this summer - I have, it's just that I haven't found time to do anything to actually blog about!

So, as I put the lazy days of summer behind me and focus on a new season, I thought I'd share with you some of what I have been doing instead of blogging.

Now that summer is winding down, I am sure I will find more things to SpoutOut about, but right now, I have 5 more days to do "nothing."
