I've been told that here in our neck of the woods the fall season doesn't exist. Though there is truth to this, in my own way I disagree. Maybe it's my love for all things fall and my imagination going wild, but I can feel the change from summer to fall in my soul. This morning I woke up and I could smell autumn in the morning dew and cold crisp breeze, it was simply magical.

Back To School Prayer for Your Anxious Child
This Back To School Prayer for Your Anxious Child will not only help your child but also your anxious mama heart. The first couple of weeks of school, our little one would lick and bite around his lips, until he developed a sore from breaking the skin.
