Seven on Saturday 8/31/24

Oh my! Can you believe today is the last day of August? Another month has just flown by!

This Labor Day weekend we’re celebrating (or mourning — however you view it) the official end of summer. While the temps in Kentucky still scream summer, there’s just something about the beginning of the school year that signals the end of the season for me.

Do you have fun plans for the long weekend? We’ll be hanging close to the house this Labor Day weekend. I’ll be working on a few projects, and we’ll watch the Wildcats kick off their football season later this evening. Go Cats!

I’ve been gathering lots of pretty fall things, and since we usher in September tomorrow, I’ll be sharing lots of fall fun next week!

This Week on the Blog:

It’s been a busy week on the blog sharing lots of ideas for cozy and well-organized spaces around your home!

We returned from a wonderful trip to our friends’ lake house on Rough River Lake and I shared lots of tips and ideas for creating a cozy lake “home away from home” in this post!

If you’re anything like me, you’re trying to get all the spaces organized after the start of the new school year. Maybe it’s the former teacher in me, but back-to-school time seems like the perfect time for a fresh start around our home before the rush of all the fall and holiday activities. I shared some of my best tips and tools for kicking off the school year with a well-organized home in this post!
