🍂 Happy first day of fall!
A new season, a little cooler air, and all those cozy things that make home feel even more like home. 🧡
Here’s to front porches, open windows, favorite blankets, and the simple goodness of settling in.
Home — a place that feels like you.

It's here!🍁🎃🍂

This one made me stop for a minute. ❤️

We spend a whole lot of time making room for stuff.

Maybe making a little more room for ourselves isn't such a bad idea. 🏡

This story of community felt like one worth sharing. 🏡💙
Kindness traveling from Kentucky to Tennessee and right back again.
Dolly would be proud. 🦋

🍎❤️ Happy first day, Jessamine County!

We’ve been seeing some pretty great examples of what school community can look like — teachers who enjoy doing this work together with other teachers, classrooms where kids can have fun, be creative, learn lots and enjoy plenty of smiles along the way.

So Jessamine County teachers, staff & parents, now it’s your turn.

Sometime during this first week, show us a little glimpse of what makes your school community special.

Your team. Your students. A tradition. A kind moment. Something you create together. Or just one of those little first-week moments that makes you smile. ❤️

Drop a picture in the comments anytime this week so we can help celebrate right along with you.

And since starting on a Monday means you’ve got a whole week to get through 😂☕️, we’ll be sending a few Jessamine County teachers/staff/parents a extra little caffeine and celebration at the end of it.

Here’s to a great first week, Jessamine County Schools! ❤️

🏡 Welcome Home, class of 2026–2027. 🍎

Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
Whew — it makes me sweat just looking at it because I know things. 😘

I spent enough years helping Lisa get her classrooms ready to know what you don't see in that finished picture—the boxes, furniture moving, supply runs, bulletin boards, early mornings, late nights and plenty of sweat. 😂

But I also learned there was a reason behind all of it.

Teachers aren't just decorating classrooms. They are getting a home ready for their students. ❤️

They're thinking about where things should go, what students will need and how that room will feel when everyone walks through the door for the first time.

Kind of sounds like getting a home ready, right? 😊

So while teachers are putting the finishing touches on classrooms all over Central Kentucky this weekend, here's a little Home Girl love for all of you.

We see the beautiful classrooms. But we also see the work and heart that went into making them feel like home. ❤️

And if I could drop off extra-strong coffee, energy drinks, Tylenol, Airborne and a few extra hands and hours in the day to every one of you, I sure would. 😂

📚 Fayette County & Franklin County — Aug. 12
📚 Woodford County — Aug. 13
📚 Jessamine County Schools— Aug. 24

Have a great year, teachers! And welcome home, students. 🍎🏡

🍎 TEACHERS — we really want to see those classrooms!

We’re celebrating all that hard work by buying coffee for a few of you, too. ☕️❤️ Check the comments for how to share your classroom with us!
