This month is speeding by and with only one week left to go, I wanted to give you a friendly reminder to think about your roundup.

The northern hemisphere celebrates the arrival of fall on the date of the autumnal equinox. Is it autumn where you are right now? What is the weather like on this date? Does it feel like summer still, or is it starting to cool off? Are the leaves changing yet? Take a picture outdoors today and write about the conditions and temperature.

I'm a little late in getting my roundup done for last month, but I have a good excuse, it was baby month in August, and we were very focused on our new grandson. This roundup is one of my all-time favorites!

I’ve been so busy lately, that I’ve had a hard time balancing everything. When that happens, blog posts often get pushed aside. Then it’s hard to get back in the habit. I’m going to just dive right in though and get started again. Next month will mark seventeen (17!) years for this blog, and I’m not ready to quit yet!

I'm so excited to be a featured presenter at this free 2-day virtual event! The HobbyScool Summit: Creativity Edition is the perfect place to learn new hobbies and skills and unleash your hidden creative talents. With a variety of classes available, there's something for everyone.

The end of the month is here, so it’s time to do a month-in-review roundup. I love to take a memory inventory at the end of the month and document it all to add to our family albums.

I share several prompt images each month on the last day of the month. I’m also including a link to my video walkthrough of how to document your life month by month and a demonstration of how I do my own roundups.

My new site is now up and running! I’m hoping it’s all in good working order. There are still a few things that haven’t moved over, but for the most part, it’s ready to go! The biggest difference you will notice is that I now have a homepage. Of course, I still have my blog, and a few other pages to explore (with more coming soon). I’m especially happy that my new shop can hold more products since I ran out of room in the old one.

Who else feels like the year starts going so much faster when the calendar hits September? It’s crazy that August is almost over. There’s just about a week left so I wanted to be sure to remind you to keep the roundup prompts in your mind and get out your camera to capture some everyday memories!

This is probably the latest date I’ve ever finished my roundup for the previous month, but that’s totally ok with me. I’ve been busy being a new grandma and I’m very happy about that! You can see photos in my Instagram feed.

I’m glad to have July recorded now because it will be super fun for me to do my August roundup in just a few weeks. Here’s what July looked like in my world:
