0:39.5	I counted the amount of mums that we had planted and it's over 30. At least I've been told
0:50.1	they're perennial and so yeah, there's a lot of mums at my house. I really do love fall. It's been

2:02.7	So I want to talk about today why the lasts can sometimes feel harder than the firsts.
2:10.3	So for me, using the last of Hugo's Irish spring soap was really, really hard. I made that bottle stretch for the longest
