This will probably be the last year we do a family halloween costume! Phew! Then again…. I said that last year. Somehow we figured out a theme that involved all of our kids alter egos, and we pulled it off by the skin of our teeth! (Thanks to some help from family!)

You readers are what keep this blog going, and so I like to update you from time to time on how we make a business work for our family. Since Gabe is working full time at a school, and I am at home with three little ones (I have two in school), it would seem nearly impossible to keep things afloat here! So we re-grouped before the baby came to determine how to make things flow. It took a good few months to find some sort of pace, and we are still seeking a steady rhythm. However, there are a few things that are helping us out.
My family is coming over this year for Halloween for Trick or Treating, chili dinner, and probably hours of trading candy.
Here is a drink station that I will be using for cider, hard ciders, water, and dessert. We will see how long this holds up before Rocco attacks the bottom shelf;) Details of items below!
We just about fulfilled our low-key fall bucket list much to my surprise! I’m trying really hard not to let the weight of world issues crush my lungs these days. I have to ignore the media, so as not to feel completely glum in ten seconds time. My children give me that hopeful glimmer that there are good things to come. Within our simple daily lives, there are so many opportunities to love and do good for our families and the world around us.

This is the probably my most worn look this month because it allows me to chase my boys and hide bad hair days;) I picked up a few pairs of these joggers at Anthropologie on super sale, and cannot get over how comfortable they are. Elastic waists never hurt either.

The only real downside to our new home is we downsized in closet space and bathroom sizes. We were both willing to give up our large closet and large master bathroom for the other really great qualities the home had to offer. It honestly has me simplifying my closet which I can only see as a good thing! Our bathroom isn’t on the priority list for upgrades right now, but when I spotted these knobs on clearance (similar here), I knew exactly where they belonged. I traded out the standard silver knobs for these wooden and brass beauts.
I’m thinking the faucets will be the next trade out, but for now, I’ll just enjoy this $20 upgrade;)
Here are a few favorite places to shop online for knobs and pulls:
Anthropologie
Rejuvenation
CB2
Etsy
Restoration Hardware
And some knobs that caught my eye:

I don’t think there is anything more exciting to me than a Friday in October. Something about the cool morning and smell in the air, and the wide open weekend ahead. I always say the possibility of the weekend is probably the best part, right?
