Are you as tired of Pumpkin Spice everything as I am?
Does Pumpkin Spice welcome fall?
Everything last year was saturated in Pumpkin Spice. Everything – from coffee to room spray – even a color was called pumpkin spice.
It became a Pumpkin Spice Love or Hate fest.
This season, I am not doing a single thing in pumpkin spice, not one.
This years focus is on Fresh!
Fresh everything. Fresh ideas on making life fun again, creating memories that last with family and friends, fresh traditions.
