Letter from Melissa…
September arrives with a gentle sigh, ushering in the beginning of autumn. The days grow shorter, and there’s a crispness in the morning air that signals the season’s shift. Do you feel it, too? It’s a time when the vibrant greens of summer slowly give way to the rich, warm hues of fall, and the earth prepares to rest.
In September, we embrace the harvest season. The gardens and markets overflow with apples, pumpkins, and the last of the summer crops. There’s something comforting about the gathering of these gifts, knowing they will nourish us as the days grow cooler. The scent of spices begins to fill our kitchens as we bake our first pies of the season, and there’s a sense of contentment in these familiar rituals.
This month is also a time for settling into our routines, both old and new. As the hustle of summer fades, we find comfort in the rhythms of home—returning to our projects, preparing our spaces for the cozy months ahead, and finding moments of peace in the simple acts of homemaking.
September reminds us that every ending carries the promise of a new beginning, and with it, the opportunity to create something beautiful.
Warmly, Melissa

September Bucket List
New Beginnings + Fall
September is a sort of new beginning. Families go back to busy routines, children return to school, and the pace of life picks up again. Yet, in the midst of the hustle, there’s a sense of renewal—a chance to embrace fresh opportunities and set new intentions for the season ahead. It’s a time to find balance between the busyness and the beauty of everyday life, to savor the moments of quiet, and to make space for what truly matters as we step into this new chapter. I hope you’ll make time this month to enjoy simple pleasures and make new memories with your family!
