Today, we’re transitioning out of summer and into fall, beginning with our hopefully relatable back-to-school stories. From the hardest parts (reinstating bedtime! making lunches! balancing school apps!) to the best parts (margin! predictability! blank slates!), we cover how we’re shifting our autumn rhythms for meals, work, and creativity. While Katie is recommitting to Sunday night dinners and devoting one day a week to writing at a coffee shop, Ashlee is attempting a new batch schedule and outsourcing kindergarten drop-off to her middle child. We leave you with a lightning round of fall favorites (pumpkin patches, obvi) and regrets (cutting bangs, always), plus Katie’s best hack: get yourself in a carpool wherever possible. Happy fall, friends!
