I’ve always been drawn to the classy look of pearl jewelry. I think it started with my admiration of my Grandmother’s pearl lapel pin. Then my Mom and aunt's pearl necklaces and matching earring sets grabbed my attention and before I was ten years old, I knew I’d someday have my own set of pearls. Fast forward to today, where I own several pieces of pearl jewelry. My newest addition is a lovely pair of stud earrings, from The Pearl Source Power Pearls curated collection of the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.

 Since Monday was a holiday, and for many,  the unofficial start of Autumn, I thought today would be a perfect time to join my Review Wire blogging buddies and their Hello Autumn giveaway hop in which I’m giving away a copy of the book Compost Coach by Kate Flood. 

Hello Autumn Book Giveaway and Blog Hop:

My thanks to Quarto Books for the complimentary copy of The Compost Coach Book for review purposes and for hosting a giveaway.

Recently, I was talking with a Mom friend who is in the thick of the back to school schedule. Since she knows I’m on the other side of the back to school stress, she asked if and when things got better. I assured her they would as her kids get older, and that now would be a perfect time to practice mental rest. Today, I have the privilege of sharing insights on this topic from Shiela Mie Legapsi, President of Cyberbacker and contributor to Newsweek and Pop Sugar.

 The schools in my area have been in session for a couple of weeks now, so it came as no surprise to hear coughing, sneezing, and a little whining from kids and adults on my recent shopping trip. It’s that time of year when I like to keep vitamins on hand to help with summer colds and school germs that lead to the dreaded “school crud”. Bonus points to today’s sponsor, Superior Source Vitamins for their no-swallow products, which are perfect for kids.
