Zero peeks of sunshine this week which put any time for shooting recipes on hold (so behind now!). It also led to a week of feeling even more tired! Gloomy days where the sky is actually grey always slow me down and make me want to take a nap. I never actually nap though, I feel guilty if I do! Do you feel guilty about napping? I know I shouldn’t and taking a nap would probably be the best thing instead of staring at a blank page or mindlessly scrolling on social media because I just can’t focus on an important task!

Fingers crossed for some emergence of sun this weekend (which is in the forecast thankfully!) This is the last full weekend of Summer before we have to accept that Fall is really here. Ugh! Not ready, not ready!

First week in the books! Not so bad, but then again, the first week of the semester is never to “content heavy”! Just have to make it through to the middle of December and I’m home-free (I totally believe the Fall semesters are shorter and easier than Spring semesters). Getting back into the structured routine of “back to school” can feel good and (annoying) at the same time, but I guess I should savor these last few months of “childhood” before the 100% real world begins, eh?

Who’s ready for a 3-day weekend? This Monday is Labor Day here in the states, also the “unofficial” last day of summer (even though summer isn’t over until the end of September!) And with that…my “last” first day of school is on Tuesday! That is…unless I go to grad school which is highly likely, haha! It’s a light semester of just my internship (which will be focusing around non-profit fundraising and marketing) and an extra “easy” two classes. I should be okay….after the first few weeks which are always more hectic than they need to be!

Hopefully your last day of August is going well and you’re ready to dive into a new month this weekend! Cheers!

Buried in photos and recipes this week! From reshooting, remaking and tweaking recipes (yet to be posted), creating new things, photos for clients…woooo. So many ideas have been popping into my head recently and we’ve finally had some decent days of light (hello sun) for shooting…I don’t want to waste them! Also feeling the pressure of PUMPKIN, HOLIDAY, SPICE, MAPLE recipes right now! We all know that once we get past the first 2 weeks of August, the pumpkin starts trickling in and then BAM it’s front and center everywhere! But don’t worry guys…I’ll oblige and give you pumpkin goodies starting in September, haha, just hold tight!

I have a “discussion” post that I wrote up last Thursday and almost posted it this week. I think it needs a few more tweaks, but it revolves around a food allergy topic that came up in a food allergy group I’m in. It’s going to be a different kind of post than you’re used to, but I’ll try to get it up next week at some point…stay tuned; I’m interested in hearing your take!
