How is it already September 1st?

Where has the summer gone?! 😭🌿

It feels like just yesterday Klover was getting out of school, and somehow we’re already heading into September. How did that happen?! 🍂

We had a pretty quiet summer this year, with a few little adventures mixed in. Nothing too crazy- just making memories, enjoying nature, and soaking up those slow summer days. 💜

And then last week… the whole family got hit with a nasty cold/flu bug. 🤧 Thankfully, we were back on our feet within a few days. During that time, I reached for some of the herbs I love having around, including echinacea and elderberry tea. 🍵🌿

Fun fact about echinacea:

The name Echinacea comes from the Greek word *echinos*, meaning “hedgehog", referring to the prickly-looking center of the flower. 🦔🌸

And here’s where things get REALLY weird…

Right before I got sick, I drifted off to sleep and had the strangest dream. A hedgehog literally fell from the ceiling and landed between my legs. 🦔😂

I’m not even kidding.

I woke up frozen, just laying there thinking, “Well… what the f" 😂 Eventually, I found the courage to get out of bed and investigate my very imaginary hedgehog situation.

Now I can’t help but wonder… was my subconscious trying to tell me something? 👀🌿

Who knows. But the timing sure was interesting!

Herbs are quite the allies if you ask me.🌿💜

As we head into a new season, I’m looking forward to cooler days, cozy teas, fall adventures, and whatever September decides to bring.

Tell me… what was the highlight of your ☀️👇
