Thanks so much for including our Giving Circle, Aliza!

And Aja, I like Halloween so much more now that I have a kid. It's the only "holiday" that doesn't require us to see extended family, LOL, and we get to spend it with friends.

Aja, I feel like I have you to thank for getting my back into Reddit. You always find/share the best subreddits. Those houses are, indeed, wild!

I’m pregnant and plan on dressing as Depressed Thor (post the destruction of Asgard, when he’s put on some weight from a few too many beers)

I always get excited when I see Tembe featured because I know the recs will be superb. I too just binge-watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in a single sitting + now can't stop listening to their podcast eps. So good.

Wait their podcast eps?! Say more...

Oh, Aja… look up The Viall Files and search for Taylor’s ep (it’s recent). She goes into the soft swinging scandal which I knew nothing about! They’re doing the media circuit right now and going on various podcasts so they’re keeping me going. 🤣

That zebra is something!! After being a tween in Y2k and having inflatable everything (backpack, chair, pillows, lol) the thought of investing $3k+ in something that would face the exact same demise is very unsettling. But it would be so cute in my front yard 😂

Hahaha should we all go in on one?? We just need 300 other women to make it affordable 🤣

And as for Halloween-- we do family costumes every year, very DIY, very last minute usually, but always fun. My favorites have been Rugrats, Super Mario and Co and this one where I wore my husband's clothes to score a free Chipotle burrito and it went Pinterest viral 😂: https://pin.it/3zIpsU9Tj

This is classic parenthood (babies are so different!), but I actually hated Taking Cara Babies!! LOL. Was not our vibe at all. We love Hey Sleepy Baby over here :)

He just gets cuter honestly

Adult Halloween is one of my least favorite holidays 😅 there are too many options for a costume! I need a theme!

But kid Halloween? I cannot wait. We’re going to be carving pumpkins and putting my almost 1 year old into multiple costumes, despite Halloween not really being celebrated in Amsterdam.

There are few things cuter than a baby in a costume!! What do you have planned?

Expand full comment

Halloween decor went up Sept 1st and I'm not ashamed to say it out loud

Expand full comment

Tell me more! What decor? And how do you handle pumpkins (crop one that’s replaced by crop two when they get moldy…?)

Tembe, that dress. I won’t be able to stop thinking about it. And now I have to watch Mormon Wives.

That zebra just made me choke on my laughter.

Like a summer fling I know will end, I love my barrel jeans so hard.

The Seth Cohen lust from my teens is returning with a vengeance seeing that trailer.

Expand full comment

LOOOL but will the fling last into fall/winter? A gal can hope…

Expand full comment

Just like my fave summer fling, it will last long beyond the season and we shall meet again for brief dalliances.

But for real, I just love them. Even they are a trend with a capital T, I love them.

Last year, my husband and I dressed up as Ferrari F1 drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles LeClerc. It was the first year we lived in a neighborhood with lots of trick or treaters, and we really leaned into it! We brought a TV out on the front porch and had Halloweentown playing while we handed out candy from our camp chairs. I love watching all of the cute kids in their costumes go by. I want to do another costume together this year but haven’t figured out what!
