I don’t usually pay much attention to my air conditioner. I switch it on in the summer when I need it, and I forget about during fall, winter and spring.

Let’s be honest: when it comes to cooling my home, I care much more about comfort than I do about cost.

I’m ready for a summer slow-down. For easy mornings without the school rush and long evenings with bbqs and bike rides.

Target is full of school supplies and Hobby Lobby is filling its aisles with Christmas décor, but – fingers crossed - we still have a lot of summer left.
