the monday edit
happy happy monday! i can’t believe how quickly this weekend went. we felt like fall and halloween are in the air, in that magical, slightly spooky, but also cozy and happy way. we have a neighborhood house that leans heavily into the decor, and the kids love checking what they add every day. we also popped by a local nature center for a halloween party, and my children were thriving.
this week, i’m sure, will feel spooky, cooky, and everything in between. i’m solo parenting a couple of evenings, prepping for a halloween party this weekend, and still going to bed by 8:30pm. i’m excited.
i hope everyone has a great week!
