Can we talk about August for a minute? While everyone else is clinging to the last drops of summer, I’m over here getting way too excited about back-to-school season. Yep—I’m that person. 📚🐾
As a kid, I lived for the planning phase: stacks of magazines, must-have outfits, and circling every item I “needed” to start fresh. That same energy inspired this month’s theme: Kids & Pets—because Fall really is a fresh start for the whole family (four-legged members included!).
This month, we’re diving into:
🎒 Back-to-school goals (for kids and pets!)
🐶 A peek into Central Ohio Muttessori School with Tiffany Copley
🎉 How to throw your pup the ultimate DIY birthday bash
🎵 Music lessons that build confidence and character
🎁 A heartwarming “Birthday in a Box” idea that gives back in a big way
Whether your kids are starting school or your dog is just mastering “sit,” this issue is about embracing the joy, chaos, and connection of family life—muddy paws and all. 💛
