Starting a New Season

In about a week and a half, a new season will start once again. The kids will all be advancing to the next grade (1st, 5th and 10th respectfully) and the chaos that ensues during school years will once again be at hand. I am not looking forward to the hectic schedules, the constant moving while feeling like you’re standing still and the stress that comes with the upcoming holidays. But I am looking forward to the season. I am looking forward to new adventures, another fall season and the decorating and projects that come with it, another Halloween of more projects and fun, another Thanksgiving of perfect turkeys and wine and another Christmas of family moments, colored lights and hot chocolate. I want so desperately to be able to take a few moments here and there to breathe it in and embrace it. I want to be even closer to my girls and the hubby and I hope we can find that balance where we all work in sync and tackle problems with our heads up and hands joined.
