HOO’s ready for fall?

Ok, I was really torn about whether or not to make a cute owl pun, but late night posting makes for weak restraint…

Thanks to Scoutie Girl, I learned about a gorgeous new blog today, simple blueprint, and found this adorable post about Happy Tickets!  With all of the craziness getting the shop together, my family has definitely been feeling more than a little stress!  My sweet kiddos have really rallied, spending up to 9 hours with us  in the shop (not yet the most fun place in the world to a 4 year old boy–or a 10 year old girl–or a 30-something husband, for that matter!).  I’m thinking we could all use …
