One of my favorite things about a new month is getting excited about all of the fun holidays in the days ahead!
The weather is quickly settling down from sunny Summer days and I’m so excited for the crisp Fall days that are on the horizon. My Summer reading quickly transitioned in August to SummerWeen and now that the ‘ber months are officially here, I’m running full steam ahead with Halloween and Fall reads. Bring on the sweater weather, cozy days, fireplace evenings, and soup season!!
We’re already two thirds of the way through the year?! It’s true what they say, the days are long but the years are short.
Scroll down to see a list of daily holidays, monthly celebrations, and more.
