Fall is my favorite time of year! The weather starts to cool off a bit (well, maybe not yet here in Texas), football season kicks off and our family is back in a routine. But with all this change, it's important not to lose sight of what's coming — the holidays!
I get it, it's only September. But the best tip I can offer is to start planning and saving now. Read the blog for a few ideas.

Wishing everyone a happy Fall season!
