Long Weekend Reading 09.01

Happy long weekend! Can you believe it's Labor Day weekend already? This summer flew by (and TBH I'm ready for fall), but I'm also not quite ready to admit summer's nearly over – with how our schedules worked out, this summer was a bit of a bust, so really I'm celebrating the arrival of September and what that means for us. Chris and I have some plans to unplug this weekend and celebrate the end of the busiest season at work – at least the proverbial end (it's probably not going to end) – and I'm looking forward to doing some reading, writing and hiking. Hope yours is sun-filled and relaxing – here's some links to click, read & shop:
