25 Fun and Quirky Holidays to Celebrate with your Kids in September.

I just wanted to start by saying Thank You to all of you for your support and kindness.  It really means so much to me and I am constantly surprised and so grateful that you would take time to visit me on my little corner of the internet.   It's been a week-busy, fun, exhausting, and so many other emotions that seem to change minute to minute. I hope you all are doing well and navigating through this crazy time safe and healthy.  

I know I am a little late posting this calendar but I hope you will still find many fun holidays to celebrate this month. Its something we love and it helps me plan activities and freeze on my never ending to do list and spend time with my family.  Now we do not celebrate every holiday (let's be honest we miss most of them) and the ones we do celebrate are often simple.  Do what works for you and I hope this helps spark some ideas and fun!  

This month I found 25 fun holidays to include on our September Calendar (most I didn't know existed).  Pick a few or all and have fun :)

Download a copy of the calendar, print, and display.  After that have fun creating some special memories with your little ones.

Free 2021 Calendar

New 2022 Calendar is now available here

 I have been using these watercolor calendars for a few year now and I still love the simple, beautiful design.  I know a few of you also love them too and have been requesting a 2021 version. I'm so excited to share these with you.  For me August is a lot like New Years.  Its a time for me to reset, evaluate, and refocus on organization and goals.  I love printing a couple sets of these calendars. I use one for organizing all of our family activities and events, another for menu planning, and this year I plan to use one to keep track of my business/blog  schedule.  I'd love to hear how you use them.
