Monthly Musings August 2025: Back to School/Fall Preview

 



Hey there Besties. I am starting this post off in a non-typical way. When Holly and I chose our topics way back in the beginning of the year, Back-to-School and a Fall Preview seemed perfectly appropriate for late August. Flash forward to the events in Minnesota yesterday and I am honestly feeling pretty sad. If there is one thing I try really hard to do on this site, it's not to be a tone deaf a-hole (yup, I just semi-cursed on this site). I know it's a little hard to push out a back-to-school post like nothing happened yesterday. 


All school shootings are horrible, they need to stop, and they are totally senseless. I wish I had the answers on how to stop these senseless acts of violence. This one hit me even harder because this was at a Catholic school, much like we have been part of for close to twenty years. Two of my friends are Catholic school principals, I have numerous friends who are Catholic school employees, including two of my Best friends. This one just hit harder.

Wait, whoa whoa whoa. When did it get to be the end of August? I feel like it was just August 1st about five days ago. Since I need to face reality that it is the last Wednesday of the month and share August 2025 with you by linking up for What's Up Wednesday with Shay and Shaeffer.

What We're Eating This Week

Monday-Chicken and vegetable stir-fry with rice noodles

Tuesday-Running Daddy will be at a work training all day in West Virginia so I think we will just figure out dinner on our own

Hello Monday-August 25, 2025: August Monthly Musings Topics

 






Hey there Besties. I am back at home after sophomore year college drop-off. It was definitely easier in year two, and because he is so happy there, how can I be sad? He's ready for his classes to start, has already started hockey and is spending time with friends. 

Speaking of back-to-school I am here for Hello Monday with Sarah and Holly to share the topics for Monthly Musings coming up on Thursday. Holly and I have all of the early fall and back-to-school feels for you. 

I hope you will join us on Thursday for Monthly Musings as a writer and/or reader. Just grab our graphic, link back to both of us in your post and answer our fun questions.

See you then!
