Happy First Day of Autumn!


Good morning friends, and happy first day of Autumn!

I realize my posts have been a bit sporadic in recent months.  It's frustrating for me, as well, as in my heart I am very dedicated to this space, but often life and blogging compete for my time and resources, and without apology, real-life needs and obligations always take precedence.  It is my desire to post when I can, and this time of year is inspiring with ideas for content!

I did want to make you aware that I likely will not update the Autumn and Winter Season Keepers and make them available, which I know may be disappointing.  My husband and I had our first foster child placement this week, and as you can imagine, this little one's needs take up a large amount of my time. Again, I apologize, but I need every bit of my resources right now and my margin for reserve is limited.  I may at some point try to come up with a version that can be used year after year, but for now that is only an idea.

All that being said, today is the first day of autumn!, and as such I wanted to share some of my favorite seasonal diffuser blends. I use these regularly, to be honest, year round because they are my favorite scents, but they are particularly cozy this time of year.
