So, your landlord/parent/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.

Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark...

The first bullet point is my new life mantra. Panic always leads to procrastination. You can do this, but you have to stay calm!

Ich liebe den Herbst

It's starting to feel like fall. The air is crisper. The faintest bit of yellow and gold is starting to show on the trees. The humidity is decreasing, and there are even a few rainy days thrown in. I'm loving the change in weather. I can spruce up my wardrobe, drink a cozy mug of tea, and snuggle under blankets. Also, there's football again!

I have a few things that I want to do this autumn:

Pick apples

Walk through a corn maze

Go to a haunted house (if I'm feeling brave!)

Have a bonfire to roast marshmallows and hot dogs

Attend a football game

Have a cozy night in with hot chocolate, snuggles, and a movie

Carve a pumpkin

Make homemade pumpkin pie

Go to the zoo

Ride my bike

From PBS Digital Studios comes the long-awaited sequel to the Mister Rogers “Garden of Your Mind” remix. This one’s called “Sing Together” and gives you the same dose of nostalgia as Digital Studios’ other remixes.

I'm a big fan of Mister Rogers. This makes me nostalgic for my childhood...

Mention Judy Blume to almost any woman under a certain age and you’re likely to get this reaction: Her face lights up, and she’s transported back to her childhood self — curled up with a book she knows will speak directly to her anxieties about relationships, self-image and measuring up. Now, Blume — the author of coming-of-age novels such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret; Then Again, Maybe I Won’t; and Blubber — will reach a new generation of girls in a new medium. Up until now, her widely beloved books haven’t been made into feature films. But Blume’s son Lawrence Blume, a director, worked with his mother to adapt her 1981 novel, Tiger Eyes, for the big screen.

In the last 3 1/2 weeks, I’ve gotten 4 new students. Sometimes it surprises you! Give the kid a chance. Besides, you know he/she will weasel his/her way into your heart.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ~ Erica Jong
