First things first, I’m pretty excited that September is here because it brings fun things like Dunkin Donut’s pumpkin donuts and iced coffee. It brings birthdays for friends, friends visiting, a wedding anniversary, a new baby, apple picking and more.

White chip macadamia nut pumpkin oatmeal cookies

Those cookies? Some of my favorite, but I didn’t get a photo of them done. I’ll post the recipe on Wednesday though and grab a picture before then.

All that great and excitement stuff aside, I’ve said yes to a lot. A doable amount, but a lot. I have a race to prep for, cupcakes to bake, swimming lessons to teach, relationships to maintain, crafting to do, laughs to belly laugh, munchkinsto snuggle, high fives to hand out, and more.

So September can I ask that you don’t throw me too much extra? Just be kind. Please?

I don’t want this to me my standard look when I haven’t been out raising hell the night before.
