Hello, end of Summer! I will savor every final moment with you, but Fall will always be my favorite.  Kids returning to routine, sunny cool mornings, and college football to name a few reasons why.  The shift from Summer to Fall feels a lot like the reset of a New Year to me.  An opportunity to double down on activities and experiences that have the most impact on the...

Although it is the middle of March, we sit down to share a Thanksgiving dinner together.  That’s right, turkey, gravy, sweet...
