Simplify Your September

Fresh Routines, Cozy Recipes, and a Fall Reset You’ll Actually Stick To

Our team has been talking about how September is a strange, beautiful in-between month. Summer isn’t quite gone, but fall is already knocking at the door. We're not ready to let go of the fun summer joys, but we’re also looking forward to the coziness of the fall season. The long, hot days are fading, the mornings feel cooler, and the rhythm of life starts to shift. Kids are back in school, work ramps up after slower summer weeks, and suddenly our calendars are filling again.

It’s easy to feel like you’re stuck between seasons—one foot in iced coffee and pool days, the other in cozy sweaters and pumpkin everything. This is exactly why September is the perfect month to simplify. Instead of fighting the transition, use it to your advantage. Start fresh routines, refresh your home, and rediscover the joy of cooking with new seasonal recipes.

Here’s how to simplify your September and make this transitional season your best reset yet.

The Power of New Routines in September

September has always carried that “fresh start” feeling. Maybe it’s the back-to-school energy, or maybe it’s just the natural shift of the season. Either way, it’s a golden opportunity to reset your habits.

Think of it this way: January isn’t the only time to set goals. September is your mid-year restart button. You’ve got four months left in the year—just enough time to create meaningful routines without the pressure of New Year’s resolutions.

So what kind of routines are worth trying right now?
