Happy Friday 10/31/25
Happy Friday! And Happy Halloween! This holiday always sneaks up on me. You too? One day it’s pumpkins on porches, and the next, you’re flipping on the porch light and greeting a parade of kids in costumes. I was never much of a Halloween person as an adult - until we moved into town. Now I love seeing the goblins and ghouls descend on our neighborhood and watching it all come alive: the decorations, the laughter, half the town out and about, and the crunch of leaves under little feet. And how lucky are we that it falls on a Friday this year?! Wishing you a deliciously sweet weekend ahead.

Some links from the week…
Oooo what a dreamy attic dorm room!
Why you should let your kids eat all the Halloween candy they want (according to a dietitian). Do you have a method that works?
Fleece is my favorite (northwest girl over here ;) and this one feels elevated.
These fishing cabins in Montana are so cozy and beautiful. I love that they kept their modest size and renovated them to perfection.
This exfoliating cleanser has a cult following and the best reviews!
Our homes aren’t weird enough. “Cohesion Doesn’t Have to Mean Uniformity".”
People are having fewer kids. Their choice is transforming the world economy.
The best Halloween themed TV episodes to rewatch.
These inexpensive hair ties are my new fav. I have them in the car, in my purse, at the pool, in my bathroom drawer and everywhere Daphne can possibly need them (she hasn’t learned the wrist trick yet ;).
Revisiting my favorite book series for this cozy/Halloween/Fall season.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
