Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day, the symbolic end to the summer... it's back to school, back to normal. I for one am happy about the return of fall and winter... it's a chance to start fresh and to break out the warm(er) clothes. It's also time for my favorite holidays of the year- my birthday at the end of this month, halloween, thanksgiving (my favorite thing about fall besides halloween is the Macy's Day Parade), and christmas! But let's not get ahead of ourselves... it's only Labor Day after all. 

Hope you have a great day off!
