Link Love: New Planner Season is Coming

You know how to tell is will be fall soon? JetPens posts their Planner Notification Email post. Yep, another cycle of the year has turned. Time to start plotting your new planner set-up. Maybe even start a September-start planner?

There are only a few weeks left before kids will start heading back to school and hopefully, this will also mean cooler temps here in the US. At this rate, PSL season is just around the corner! While others celebrate PSL season, to us, its Back-to-school time which means new planners, new notebooks and, of course, new pens! I am clearly an optimist because even as a kid, I looked forward to going back to school, thinking it would be the pinnacle of learning and school supplies I saw in books, magazines and movies.

As a knitter, I am looking forward to tucking under a pile of yarn on a cool night and watching the ONE TRUE Persuasion (see post below) and snuggling with a kitten… or four. How do you celebrate back-to-school, whether you (or your kids) are going back-to-school?
