'Tis the spoOoOoky season! We're full on doing Halloween already in our home and I couldn't be more excited. This is the first year Daniel actually understands what Halloween is, so it really feels like a mama milestone to get here and do special things for him to enhance the experience. Pre-babies, I'd put a pumpkin out for fun, but it was never really a thing, so I'm more than happy now to dig into my creative genes to whip up some holiday fun! 

Looking For The Perfect Fall Sweater? Here are 8.

While it is certainly not sweater weather yet here in Southern CA, now is still a great time to stock up on these closet staples that'll carry us well into the rest of the year. Selecting the perfect sweater can be tough though! If you're like me, you'll likely ask yourself a ton of questions before committing. Will it last? Will the color match with everything else? Do I love the sleeves? If you shook your head up and down while reading through those questions, you'll be thrilled with the following. I made us a list of sweaters to shop for Fall and it's a good list. You're welcome. Let's get to shopping!

Best Time Ever

Life update: I lost my job. Here's the story. Days before I came back to work from maternity leave, I learned the company I worked for was closing it's CA office and moving to the East Coast. Yeah it was bittersweet because I loved the brand I worked for and I really loved my co-workers, but the reality of it all was this was the best thing that could have happened. I was genuinely sad this time around to go back to work because I had such a great time on leave with my two littles. We enjoyed our daily park trips and doing all the relaxing things having a job didn't allow. So really, when I found out about this, it felt like I had another chance to leave again in a few months to spend more time with my babies. Flash forward to the last day of April, I wrapped up work and kicked off my funemployment. It has now been just over a month of not working, I just turned 34 a few days ago and it all just feels like an awesome time to refocus my personal goals.
