Even though summer may be coming to an end, there are still so many fun things to do that are close to home! Truth be told, "stay-cations" are a lot more my style than vacations-- it is a lot easier to relax and enjoy time with family when there isn't a mountain of laundry to do when we get home! While I love a good week at the beach, local day trips, and even camping in the backyard when our kids were little was so much fun and easy to squeeze in even during the rush of back to school days.

Plus, this time of year there is no lack of things to do at home as the garden enters more of a wild stage with an abundance of weeds to pull and veggies to harvest, not to mention the daylilies are finishing up so it will soon be time to cut them down and start dividing for next year's sale garden. T

he length of my to do list keeps growing and can be a little overwhelming. I'm attempting to come to terms with the reality that it will probably not all get done as quickly as I'd like (or at all!) but that can be a bit frustrating too! But the benefit of a little "self-care" can go a long way to restoring some peace and sanity to this beautifully hectic season... all of which made me think that it would be fun to put together another giveaway!
