AUGUST 2026

Summer fun is mostly in the rearview mirror as we prepare for back-to-school

and favorite fall holidays. August invites us to spend the season’s final lazy days

with quiet pastimes, self-care, and our beloved four-legged friends.

August 9 - National Book Lovers Day. Here’s your excuse to pull from the stack of books you haven’t read yet. Disconnect, find a quiet spot, and lose yourself in your favorite genre.

August 15 - National Relaxation Day.
Step away from your daily routine and truly unwind. Whether you indulge in a spa day, lose yourself in a favorite hobby, or just soak up some fresh air, make today all about you.

August 26 - National Dog Day.
Celebrate the companionship, loyalty, and general goofiness of your canine friends. They’ll appreciate a ball toss and an extra treat!

Did You Know? Planting trees can boost your home’s value. Homes with mature trees sell for up to 15% more than comparable homes without them.*

One Smart Move for August. Prep for School-Year Routines. While you’re enjoying the last days of summer, prepare your home for the back-to-school rush.
1. End the “there’s nothing to eat” blues by stocking healthy snacks in easy-to-reach, designated spaces in your pantry and refrigerator.
2. Add extra hooks and storage baskets in the mudroom or entry way to catch jackets, backpacks, and outside gear.
3. Set up a family charging station. Phones left to charge will be easy to find in the morning — and will keep kids from scrolling at night!
